China may build an undersea train to America

According to a report in the Beijing Times China seems to be planning on making a train that connects from Beijing to the U.S.  Expert at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, says that Chinese officials are thinking about having a route  start in the country's northeast, go through eastern Siberia and cross the Bering Strait, a 125-mile long underwater tunnel into Alaska. This idea seems to be a great new way for importing and exporting goods. "China’s wisdom for building an open world economy and open international relations is being drawn on more and more each day," It's interesting to see how this idea develops more along the way considering that Russia has already had similar ideas of this. If China is able to create this with the right technology then it should be an interesting start for new improvements with shipping and being able to reach to possibly every part of the world, creating more opportunities world wide.
