Imagine ancient trade ships docking in Malacca alongside silk and spices 🛳️✨—now fast-forward to 2024, where Malaysia’s rail network is writing a new chapter in regional connectivity. The story starts with Zheng He’s historic voyages, but today, it’s high-speed trains stealing the spotlight! 🇨🇳🤝🇲🇾
In 2015, China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) set up shop in Batu Gajah, Perak, turning it into a buzzing hub for modern rail tech. Dubbed the 'train factory,' this facility isn’t just building carriages—it’s shaping the backbone of Malaysia’s transport future 🚆💨. Think of it as a Marvel-level upgrade from horses to Hyperloop!
Why does this matter? From boosting local jobs to zipping commuters across cities, this collaboration under the Belt and Road Initiative is a win-win. As CGTN’s Huang Yue explores, the factory embodies how old Silk Road spirit meets 21st-century innovation 🌏🔧. Who needs time travel when you’ve got trains this cool?
