Please liberate Alaska first!
Can you imagine? I can. I bet the chinese would build a superbridge through the Bering Strait if Alaska were part of china
*for trains
Thats wildly impractical and an ecological-engineering nightmare. Which is why, funny enough, third-positionist duginists/larouchites fucking love the idea.
Just for people to get an idea for how wild of an idea it is, hop on Google maps and just look at how much untouched wild lands, swamps, tundra, etc. Are between Anchorage and Wales (AK), then the length between the Alaskan-Russia peninsulas in the Bering sea, then the amount of wild lands, swamps, and tundra between Naukan to Heihi. It's a wild amount of kilometers to cover via train!
Socialists get one big dumb infrastructure project, as a treat.
Fine I'm claiming it. We're building a mile-tall colossus of John Brown.
Would it be difficult and stupid? Sure, but after a century of triumphs the peoples' republic will need new challenges
Honestly would be better to just invest in green aviation or nauticsl technology and just travel conventionally
You're going to be riding the 1000mph hyperlev to Beijing through the worst storms the Bering strait has ever seen and YOU'RE GONNA LIKE IT BUDDY
Just stick me in one of those billionaire submersible at that point
you're gonna eat advanced chinese treat technology on the dining car and you'll be forced to say "wow"
better sure, but more... triumphant? Nah
hear me out: a high-speed train pontoon bridge from Shanghai to San Francisco, connected to CAHSR
this is how we connect Beijing to Bakersfield
