Japan's "Diamond **" article on December 3, original title: China-made high-speed rail opened in Indonesia, and Japanese reporters took a test rideIndonesia's first high-speed rail was officially opened in October. For Indonesia, this high-speed railway, which connects the capital Jakarta with the city of Bandung, is an important piece of infrastructure. In the early stage of the bidding, China won the competition with Japan and finally won the order. For China, this is an important part of the Belt and Road Initiative. For Japanese workers, "exporting the Shinkansen abroad" is associated with patriotism. Because of this, Chinese companies took orders for the construction of high-speed railways in Indonesia, which had a great impact on the relevant personnel in Japan. The author took this high-speed train in Indonesia a few days ago. Judging from the experience of riding in the car, China's influence (in Indonesia) is stronger than expected.
I took a taxi from central Jakarta to the high-speed rail station in the suburbs, and the huge glittering buildings in front of me reminded me of China's high-speed rail stations. Many Indonesian passengers took photos everywhere, many of them taking the high-speed rail for the first time, and probably wanted to spread the ** online. Paper tickets can enter the station, but the surrounding Indonesian passengers, regardless of gender, age or age, use *** to scan the code to enter the station. The structure of the station is the same as that of high-speed rail stations in China, which is nostalgic. The huge display is also Chinese style. When the Chinese style becomes the standard for Indonesia's high-speed rail, it is estimated that it will be difficult for companies from other countries to participate in the construction of new high-speed railways in the future.
The facilities in the carriage are state-of-the-art. The seat number is not printed, but an LCD display, and there are several small LCD screens hanging from the ceiling, which are also very similar to the Chinese ones. The seats are painted with patterns that resemble clouds, and are said to be borrowed from Indonesian national costumes. In addition, many details, including the shape of the station, are in line with the Indonesian aesthetic. A flight attendant dressed in traditional clothes came over, and when I greeted me in Chinese, the flight attendant also answered in Chinese.
While walking around the carriage, I met a Chinese translator I had heard about before, and it was said that this translator had studied in Nanjing for 3 years and was fluent in Chinese. While the train was moving, the electronic bulletin board showed "the current speed is 349km/h", which felt exactly the same as the bulletin board of the Shanghai Maglev train. Next to me sat a Chinese technician who proudly described the railway as "high-spec" in China. The author asked, "Will China continue to lay high-speed railways in Southeast Asia in the future?"He said that he would build high-speed rail according to the needs of countries (to help them).
When the train arrived, I saw that one of the ticket machines in the station seemed to be out of order, and the Indonesian staff and the Chinese technician I had just met were communicating with each other through a mobile phone translation app while repairing it. They also seem to have a WeChat group, which is operated according to the troubleshooting process in the group. (Written by Yudai Yutomo, strictly translated).
