It took Vietnam 16 years to understand that without China, it would be difficult for anyone to build high-speed rail. I think Vietnam is quite unlucky, they want to build a high-speed railway, is it a violation of heaven? It has been pitted by Japan, and it has not been done well for 16 years, and the China-Laos Railway next door has been opened to traffic, and its high-speed rail has not yet been seen.
It stands to reason that Vietnam needs railways more than Laos, especially high-speed rail, you see, Vietnam is long from north to south, narrow from east to west, and the narrowest place is only 50 kilometers, what does this mean, it means that it is very unsafe, in case it is cut off by someone, it is easy to split into two countries, north and south.
The topography of Vietnam is also very interesting, there is a large plain in the north and south, and there are mountains in the middle, so the population is concentrated in the plains on both sides, Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, these two places, one is the capital and the other is the economic center, just like Beijing and Shanghai. The distance is also similar to that of Beijing and Shanghai, which is far away. Although Vietnam has railways, they are all meter-gauge, and the speed is slow, and the whole journey takes 33 hours, which makes it very inconvenient for economic and talent exchanges. There is a great need for a high-speed railway.
Vietnam is not stupid, people as early as 2005 proposed to build a high-speed rail running through the north and south, but Vietnam does not have high-speed rail technology, must find foreign aid, the result is not good to find Japan, and then, and then there is no then.
As far as Japan is concerned, whether you build the high-speed rail or not will have no impact on me; In 2023, the Minister of Transport of Vietnam visited China, held 7 meetings in 3 days, and visited the mainland railway system intensively.
In April 2024, the Vietnamese government announced plans to build two high-speed railways in the north to connect the capital Hanoi with China by 2030. One of them stretches from Hanoi to Lang Son province on the border with China's Guangxi province, and the other connects Hanoi to Lao Cai province on the border with Yunnan, this time connecting North Vietnam with Chinese railways and then building a high-speed rail from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi.
Who will you ask for this time? China, this is something that Vietnam has spent 16 years figuring out, after all, whether it is technology, capital or policy, the best choice for Vietnam is China.
Moreover, in recent years, Vietnam's economy has become more and more dependent on China, undertaking China's industrial transfer, raw materials need to be purchased from China, and even electricity has to rely on China.
In fact, the Vietnamese railway is only a part of the entire Trans-Asian Railway, since the opening of the China-Laos Railway, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia are very anxious, all want Chinese railways, since they want China to help build the railway, then there is a high probability that Chinese standards will be adopted, that is, the rails are all standard gauges. Once the Trans-Asian Railway is completed, the whole of Southeast Asia will be connected with China, and economic, human and business exchanges will be more frequent.
