China to build underwater railroad to United States
Reported by Dr. Samori Swygert
You have to marvel at China’s innovation, creativity, and ingenuity. You have to respect China’s hustle. They have brokered oil deals with Iraq and built their own airport in the desert to fly their oil workers into Iraq. China has successfully maneuvered their way into Africa to build new infrastructure, mines, and hospitals. They’ve also partnered with several Latin American countries for their resources (e.g. Lithium sands), and China is also pioneering new solar energy throughout Latin America.
However, the next item on China’s conquest is a Modern Marvel. This new endeavor will be a monumental and historical record for the ages. China has developed plans to construct an 8,000 mile railroad that will travel under water from China to America. Currently, the railroad is mentioned to traverse and possibly service: China, Russia, Canada, and America.
This is a big bold behemoth project that can throw a curve ball in the international economic balance. This can and will affect trade. According to the UK Guardian, it will travel at a speed of 220 mph hour. I haven’t read anything on the energy or source of fuel that would be required of it in a long term projection, nor have I run across information regarding the safety and environmental impact of it. However, I imagine they would be able to incorporate hydroelectric power somewhere in that scheme since it is water-based travel. I’m sure China’s engineers and physicists have contemplated the possibilities.
This presents an unprecedented alternative that China is wagering on. Furthermore, how does this plan by China fit or disrupt the TransPacific Partnership (TPP) that is still being designed, weighed, and planned? The TPP is the Geopolitical Elephant in the room. Several countries are involved in this agreement, and this just might be China’s Trump Card in the deal because America has expressed some skepticism about China’s role in the TPP.
Why would China plan to build such an extensive railway to America, unless it already has the “green light” from America to involve it as a destination on their blueprint? You can’t unknowingly include people in your collaboration without their permission, unless you have sufficient power to leverage over them. China owns a lot of America’s debt, manufactures the majority of America’s consumer-based economy, owns substantial real estate in America, and is the main supplier of Neodymium that America needs for its missile defense system, laptops, smartphones, and more. Maybe China will force America’s hand.
I mean Harriet Tubman worked the “Underground Railroad” (no not a real train) via intricate coordination among people along her trail, but this takes it to a whole new level.
