2015년 11월 26일자 중국 철도 기술 관련 기사를 읽고. 

이명박 정부는 해외자원사업을 해서 40조원 잃어버렸다. 박근혜는 한국을 고립된 섬으로 전락시키고 있고 대륙 외교는 거의 실패하고 있다. 반면 1955년생 리커창 중국 총리는 고속철도 기술을 직접 홍보하고 나서고 다닌다. 

- 중국 고속 철도를 홍보하는 리커창 중국 총리. 작년 11월 중국은 중유럽과 동유럽 16개 국가 정부 관리들을 상하이로 초대했다. 중국 고속철도 기술을 수출하기 위해서이다.

 리커창이 직접 중-동유럽 지도자들을 데리고 상하이에서 수조우까지 80 km 정도 고속철도 여행을 함께 했다. 리커창은 통역관이 필요없이 혼자서 중국 고속철도 기술을 홍보하고 다닌다. 철도 크루즈들이 기차 속도 290, 300 km 을 알리는 방송을 하고 있다. 

- 한국은 노태우 정부 당시, 승객의 편의를 위해서는 독일 이체 ICE 기술을 도입했어야 했는데, 프랑스 테제베를 수주해, 좌석이 비좁고 불편하다.

China-CEE cooperation gets on fast track

Heads of governments from central and eastern Europe (CEE) nations got to experience the "China speed" firsthand on Wednesday when, accompanied by Premier Li Keqiang, they boarded China's most advanced bullet train.[Special coverage]

The CRH380A has a maximum speed of 486 kilometers per hour. The 25-minute trip took the leaders from the garden city of Suzhou to financial hub of Shanghai, 100 kilometers away, speeding past industrial parks and factories much of where laid bare farmlands just a decade ago.

At that speed, the train would take less than 20 hours to travel from Beijing to any of the leaders' hometowns.

Flags of China and 16 CEE countries and slogans that read "16+1>17" were painted on the body of the 16-carriage train, highlighting cooperation and development between China and the 16 countries which just completed an annual summit meeting in Suzhou, east China.

"The trip mirrors China-CEE cooperation - high speed, but comfortable and reassuring," Li told the European leaders.

"It is very impressive," said Hungarian Prime Minister Orban Viktor. "China's development is indeed admirable."

His words echoed those of Polish President Andrzej Duda who said a day earlier that he hoped Poland and the entire Central and Eastern Europe could all benefit from China's growth.

Estonian Prime Minister Taavi Roivas expressed hopes that China will take part in high-speed railway construction in the Baltic region.

ALL ABOARD

Wednesday's excursion came just a day after China signed two separate deals with Hungary and Serbia on a high-speed rail link between Budapest and Belgrade that could cut travel time between the two capitals from eight hours to less than three.

Once completed, the railway will become part of a fast lane for importing and exporting goods between China and Europe. Macedonia also inked a deal with China in June to purchase six fleets of high-speed trains.

China is actively working to export high-speed rail technology, with domestic and foreign media sometimes referring to Premier Li as the country's top railway salesman. A new term -- high-speed railway diplomacy -- has entered Chinese political parlance.

The situation is clearly win-win. China gets to upgrade its economy and partner countries get infrastructure with lower costs.

China's first overseas high-speed rail project was completed in Turkey in 2014 where a 533-km railway links capital Ankara with Istanbul. In Africa, China's technology will be the backbone of the public transport systems in countries including Nigeria and Ethiopia.

A 1,344-km railroad went into operation in Angola in 2014 and last May a deal was struck to build a 3.8 billion dollar line between the two Kenyan cities of Mombasa and Nairobi, the first phase of a line that will eventually connect Kenya to Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and South Sudan.
