[lbo-talk] Chinese high-speed rail to Europe?

China already has a large high-speed rail network and is aggressively
expanding it.
Recently opened Guangzhou-Wuhan line covers over 1000 km (600-odd miles) in
three hours. Lines ten years old, like Hangzhou-Shanghai-Nanjing, that
run at only

They are also in negotiation with Brazil to build high-speed rail
there. I wonder
if that might be extended eventually?
