A prominent British lawmaker has warned that allowing China's state-run railway to build a high-speed rail line linking London with central and northern England would be “extremely questionable.
A protest sign is displayed by a roadside protest camp across the street from a High Speed 2 rail line compound near the village of Harefield in north west London, Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2020. Britain's Conservative government is set to approve a contentious, expensive plan for a high-speed rail line linking London with central and northern England, despite opposition from environmentalists and even some members of the governing party.
The company has transformed China's transport system, building most of China's 15,500-mile high-speed network over the past couple of decades. Earlier this week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson gave his support to the project even though it's running way over budget. The projected cost, estimated at 33 billion pounds in 2011, has soared to as much as 106 billion pounds and it's not set to be fully completed until 2040.
That move by Johnson's Conservative government ignored the U.S. government’s warnings that it would withhold intelligence cooperation with Britain if Huawei was given a role in the rollout of the next generation of communications networks. A number of Conservative lawmakers, including Tugendhat, have voiced concerns about that decision.
