Leaders from Central and Eastern European (CEE) nations took a ride on a China-made bullet train on Wednesday from Suzhou, Jiangsu Province to Shanghai, at the invitation of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang. China has actively tried to export its high-speed rail technology in recent years, with media showing the premier as the country’s top railway salesman.
Li’s invitation came minutes after China signed two deals with Hungary and Serbia on Tuesday on the construction of a rail link between the Serbian and Hungarian capitals. Details of the two deals were not immediately known, but Li had promised earlier that construction work on the railway would begin by the end of the year and will be completed within two years. Earlier reports said the high-speed rail link could cut travel time between Budapest and Belgrade by more than half. Once completed, the railway will help create a fast lane for trade between China and Europe.
"The railway not only connects Serbia with Hungary, it also links with the rail network in southern Europe," Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said on Tuesday.
