It was a colossal attempt to reshape the global order, to uplift impoverished nations, and secure China’s place as the undisputed leader…
Consider the possibility of a futuristic nation in Latin America that takes a lead in energy resources while speeding trains decimate travel durations deep inside tropical forests and cities where archaic traffic once piled up is now glided past by sleek metros with futuristic futuristic designs. This is not science fiction but rather a glimpse…
Consider for a moment a futuristic train that has the ability to transform travel in Britain – reducing journey times, boosting the economy, and narrowing the North-South divide.
