China has received the first overseas order to export its bullet train technology as Thailand approved a US $5.5 billion high-speed railway project aimed at linking Bangkok with southern China.
Construction has already begun in Laos but the Thai segment of rail has been stymied for years by tussles over financing, loan terms and protective labor regulations in Thailand, China's state-run television CNTN has reported.
The high-speed railway is set to start operations in 2021.
The Thai order is a breakthrough of sorts for the Chinese multi-billion high-speed train technology as China's attempts to export the bullet train technology were bogged down due to political issues, finance or stiff competition from Japan.
China is also trying to get the New Delhi-Chennai route for the high-speed train and started a feasibility study for it.
China has already built a massive network of bullet trains connecting most of its cities. It has the world's longest railway network, 22,000 kilometers by the end of 2016, about 60 per cent of the total. network.
