Research On High-Speed Railway Diplomacy Of China Under The Background Of The ''Belt And Road''

Under such international background as dramatic changes in international relations and great reforms in international situations,major changes have taken place in China's diplomatic situation,and the "Belt and Road" has been promoted into an important position as the national development strategy,guiding the in-depth deployment of multifaceted diplomacy and initiating to establish a community of shared future for mankind.The "Belt and Road" initiative has been valued highly in the international community since its inception,which aims to promote the development of the world economy with the goal of establishing a community of shared future for mankind.This strategy is implemented mainly by means of policy,infrastructure,trade,finance and non-governmental exchanges,in which the Asian region with prosperous economy and European region with developed economy are connected in one development line,and the development potential of broad strategic hinterlands between them are inspired.Moreover,interconnection of infrastructure,especially transport infrastructure,is a priority in the "Belt and Road" initiative.Therefore,the high-speed railway has become an important carrier,as well as an important breakthrough in realizing the interconnection with Asian countries.As a means of transportation,high-speed railway not only represents the facility interconnection between countries,thus promoting the economic structural transformation and the infrastructure construction status in the host country,but also realizes the non-governmental exchanges,thereby promoting non-governmental contact between two countries and even in a wider region.In these circumstances,the high-speed railway diplomacy of China,characterized by its unique development superiority,has become one of the new contents of China's diplomacy.There is a mutual relation between the high-speed railway diplomacy of China andthe "Belt and Road" initiative,the former of which is an important part of the "Belt and Road" initiative,and the latter of which is a significant strategic guarantee for the high-speed railway diplomacy.They supplement each other and share one goal,constantly updating both content and form of China's diplomacy.With the constant advance of the "Belt and Road" initiative,China's high-speed railway has attracted much attention of the international community,and become the spokesperson for manufacturing in China.China possesses the largest mileage and mature technology of high-speed railway in the world,and it is also impeccable in safety performance,operating speed and integration capability.Under the background of the "Belt and Road" initiative,the high-speed railway diplomacy of China has made new progress,becoming an important part and content of the "Belt and Road" strategy and providing basic guarantee for the "Belt and Road" initiative.Under the background of the "Belt and Road" initiative,significant results have been achieved in the high-speed railway diplomacy of China,such as Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway in Indonesia.Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway will fully adopt the technology of China's high-speed railway,which is the first all-around,full-technology and full-industrial chain export of China's high-speed railway in the context of the "Belt and Road" initiative.This railway will have significant influences on both China and Indonesia,because it,as an important strategic link between the two countries,not only strengthens the cooperation in infrastructure construction,but also plays an important role in realizing non-governmental exchanges.Therefore,this is a substantial step forward in achieving interconnection among Asian countries.Currently,both countries have cooperated substantively in Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway,which is widely endorsed in the international community,and also provides a kind of cooperation experience and mode for developing countries seeking the development of high-speed railway.However,the negotiation on Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway also used to face some obstacles,such as the difficulty in the surrounding land acquisition,the anti-China sentiment of the Indonesian people affecting the negotiation progress,the political instability and separatism in Indonesia and the competition withgreat powers,making the negotiation full of complications.It can be seen easily from the cooperation of Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway that Southeast Asian countries have a great demand for the high-speed railway construction,but they hesitate due to domestic economic development,capital,technical problems,domestic insecurity,etc.Such difficulties will be encountered inevitably in the export of China's high-speed railway,so it is required that China improve the technology and innovation capability of high-speed railway and attach importance to relations with neighboring countries in the' going out'' process,so as to avoid risks overseas in time and win greater opportunities and superiority for China's diplomacy.
