First Chinese-Made Trains for Malaysia′s East Coast Rail Link Roll Off Line (Caixin)
|
|
|
The first batch of locomotives for Malaysia's East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) — the largest overseas infrastructure venture spearheaded by a Chinese firm — has rolled off the production line in Dalian, signaling a key milestone ahead of the project's anticipated launch in early 2027.
The 665-kilometer railway is a flagship project of the Belt and Road Initiative, designed to connect Malaysia's less-developed east coast with its economic heartland on the west coast. More broadly, the ECRL is seen as a crucial component of the Pan-Asia Railway network, with the potential to connect with Thailand and Singapore, significantly enhancing regional land-based trade routes.

(CCCC), the project's main contractor. CCCC confirmed on Wednesday that two CR200J electric multiple units (EMUs) and two HXD3C electric locomotives were completed this month....

China Introduces New Exports Controls On Antimony, Tungsten And Silver
According to Trump, his big achievement a week ago when he announced the trade truce with China, was getting Beijing to agree to remove export limitations on rare earth minerals, which as most now know are so critical for US companies to make everything from cell phones, to cars, and military equipment. And yet, as discussed on a few occasions this week, it feels like the cracks in this latest trade deal are already starting to show, whether it is Beijing ordering Trump what he can't talk about, or quietly ring-fencing its domestic data center by banning US AI chips.
And now, it appears that while China granted Trump a 1 year reprieve on rare earths, it is quietly tightening the export noose on other, just as important minerals.
According to the Global Times, China has introduced new export controls on silver, antimony, and tungsten.
In the statement published on the MOFCOM's website last Thursday, the export controls ar...
