The Philippines not only rejected the Chinese high-speed rail but also tore up a 500 million order

China completes delivery of 48 carriages to the Philippines, but the Philippines unilaterally cancels a $5.4 billion contract, demanding a refund and accusing China of faulty supply. Investigations reveal the issue originated with Japan, influencing the Philippines’ decision. China, a high-speed rail innovator, achieved a 95% localization rate in two decades. China’s Fuxing train at 350 km/h leads globally. China’s high-speed rail expertise attracts global interest, but Japan and some nations make adversarial moves. The Philippines claims mismatched equipment, but CRRC Dalian refutes with evidence. The rapid change in the Philippines’ stance raises suspicions of foreign influence. #HSR#MadeInChina#PhilippinesHSR
