Russia's railway network has always been developed, but there is no high-speed rail, before the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Russia planned to build a high-speed railway line from Moscow to St. Petersburg, and it began to restart last year. Almost everyone thinks that China has a big contract.
Because Western countries are sanctioning Russia, according to common sense, it is impossible for Russia to give them a big contract, secondly, high-speed rail is China's business card, China's technology is the most advanced, and China's high-speed rail mileage is the first in the world, the key is that it is also safe and reliable, and China and Russia are brothers and comrades. No matter how you look at it, China should be able to get this high-speed rail contract.
It's really better to count people than the sky, Russia really doesn't play cards according to common sense, Russia's high-speed rail contract cost 19 billion US dollars, and it was actually won by a little-known company in Spain, which really makes people's jaws drop.
Recently, according to Russia Today, on February 15, local time, Russia's Putin personally held a meeting, the theme of the meeting was Russia's construction of the Moscow to St. Petersburg high-speed rail line, and the final decision to give this large contract that originally belonged to the Chinese high-speed rail company to Spain is absolutely unexpected.
China's high-speed rail technology is the second, no one dares to say the first, from the technical aspect, China's high-speed rail technology is definitely better than Spain. In terms of the speed of construction, China is a veritable infrastructure maniac, not only able to complete the construction on time with quality and quantity, but often ahead of schedule. In terms of the best aspects, China's ** is definitely lower than Spain's. Normal logic really can't figure out why Russia chose to abandon the technologically advanced Chinese high-speed rail company and choose the technologically backward high-speed rail company in Spain.
There is only one possibility, albeit a comrade plus brother, Russia does not want to fall into the cycle of dependence on others, that is to say wary and does not want to put its eggs in one basket.
Secondly, Russia still wants to integrate into Europe, and Russia itself has openly admitted that it has been rejected several times to join the European Union and NATO, and Russia has always believed that it belongs to Europe, which is also a low-profile performance, indicating that Russia still wants to be recognized by the West.
