BEIJING, Oct. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- An interview with Sun Wanlu, commentator of China.org.cn, on some facts concerning the BRI:

Has China ever tried to replace universal international standards with its own standards in building the BRI?https://youtu.be/w5_rB6_Xlgc

Definitely no. Extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits have always been the principles of the BRI; sticking to open cooperation and letting the market play its role have been a feature in building the BRI. China is leading in technology, quality and service when it comes to infrastructure, which gave it the edge to drive the economic and social development of relevant BRI partner countries while benefiting the local people. In some projects, different parties have agreed to adopt Chinese standards, which could bring out the strengths and potential of Chinese companies, to improve the infrastructure of the BRI partner countries. For example, the Jakarta-Bandung HSR has fully utilized China's technologies and standards, achieving a maximum speed of 350km/h; supported by the mature technologies of China's Fuxing EMU trains, certain modifications have been made during the construction of the Jakarta-Bandung HSR, giving regard to Indonesia's local culture, environment and railway route conditions; granting the project features of technological advancement, safety, smartness, while demonstrating a strong ability to adjust to different conditions, and showing vivid local features. It has fully demonstrated China's contribution to the global public good.
