China's capacity to build safe high speed rails is as strong as any countries

Comments on Emirza Adi Syailendra "The end of the line for Japanese influence in Indonesia", 13/10/2015

This is just one infrastructure project in Asia and it went China's way. Japan needs not to be too disappointed and there will be many projects in Asia that Japan can be a successful bidder, as the high speed rail project in India has showed.

China has as strong the adequate capacity to build safe high speed rails as Japan does. It is reported that the total length of high speed rails in China is as long as the total of all other countries, although I have not checked for its accuracy.

Any concerns of China's capacity to build safe high speed rail would amount speculation.

Infrastructure crisis and AIIB

Comments on Nicholas Morris and Irene Tsjin "How to solve Indonesia’s infrastructure crisis", 10/06/2016

This infrastructure crisis, as an example in possibly many developing countries, highlights the urgent need to improve the international lending institutions and facilities. In that context, the initiative for an international infrastructure bank, namely the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), is both timely and constructive. China should be praised for its role in that endeavor.
