Japan and China compete for the high-speed rail market Abe personally went abroad to endorse

Recently, the high-speed rail export battle between China and Japan has been full of
invisible gunfire.
After Premier Li Keqiang personally went to Thailand, South Korea and other places to endorse China's high-speed rail and received praise, Japan is not far behind to open the "summit promotion" mode, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe went overseas to personally endorse Japan's high-speed rail, when visiting or receiving leaders of relevant countries, always forget to promote Japan's high-speed rail and other rail transit, and is willing to provide necessary financial support
.

The Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also visited relevant countries many times to promote high-speed rail technology and related equipment
such as the Shinkansen.
Japan has also established a public-private "Overseas Transportation and Urban Development Support Organization" to disseminate shinkansen lines overseas, collect and analyze various relevant information, and coordinate relations between
related companies.
In April last year, Japan's four major railway companies also jointly formed the "International High-Speed Rail Association" to jointly promote the export business
of Japan's high-speed rail technology and equipment.

Japan has performed
well in the world rail transit construction market.
First of all, Japan's high-speed rail to Taiwan was officially opened to traffic in 2007 at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, and is currently in good condition, becoming a transportation artery
connecting Taipei and Kaohsiung.


Hitachi has received orders
for London high-speed rail vehicles worth more than 1 trillion yen (about 82 billion yuan).
In January, the first high-speed rail cars were loaded from the port of Kobe to London, and trial operation
is scheduled to begin at the turn of spring and summer this year.

In addition, Japan has repeatedly indicated to Thailand that it can provide preferential government development assistance loans to help it build high-speed railways, and share advanced technology and management experience
in related projects.
Japan has also indicated that it can provide assistance to build a railway connecting Myanmar's Dawei with the Thai border, and intends to invest in the construction of the Bangkok-Kanchanaburi-Sapay railway to connect Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia
