Japan Offers Bullet Train Technology to Russia - 06-29-2007, 12:13 AM
Japan taught China how to do bullet trains. The Japanese government is now offering the same technology to Russia. A senior official in the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is heading to Russia next month to engage in preliminary talks with the Russian Railways president. If talks go well, a working group may be set up by this fall.
Russia could use a bullet train on their trans-Siberian route. Presently, it takes about 5 days to get across the country. Imagine how long it would take to build the Shinkansen tracks to reach that far. 12 hours or so from Moscow to St. Petersburg....one-third of the time.
Indeed a faster railway system would serve the giant Bear well...but, I can't imagine how much it would cost and how long it would take to reach to the corners of the world's largest, by size, country.

You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup. France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon.' Need I say more?

Generous? I don't think that it's going to be a gift

Well, 1st of all it was not the Russia who invaded (roughly said, as this fact officially is still under the question mark) it was USSR... But I completely agree with you on the causes of May riot, though unofficially, as there is no solid evidence proving them to be the provocateurs of the disorder...
But if we go back on the rail of this thread, i do not actually believe that the bullet train, even if they would build it (which i doubt) would serve them for too long as we all know what the russians in Russia (not the ones we have in Baltic states, Kitski) are alike... totter loome... (don't know the plural endings, sorry)

Great, atleast Japan doesn't give it to just anyone.
There isn't a better country to give it to, geographically speaking.

China? I guess that would be much better choice from the economical and geographical perspective...

Not really, since all of China's main economic cities are close together in the east. Plus Russia is larger. Plus you already said China has it...
