    On September 3, the Indonesian government decided to cancel the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail project and instead consider building a medium-speed railway
    with a speed of 200 to 250 kilometers per hour between the two cities.
    Compared with Japan, China's China Railway still has an advantage
    .

    Indonesia's Coordinating Minister of Economic Affairs Darmin Nasutian said Indonesia had returned the Yawan high-speed rail project submitted by China and Japan, but welcomed new proposals from both countries
    .
    Darmin's explanation is that it takes 14 minutes for a high-speed train to accelerate to 350 kilometers per hour, while there are 5 to 8 stops along the 150-kilometer Jakarta-Bandung route, and the train needs to brake before 350 kilometers per hour, and the actual maximum speed may only reach about
    200 kilometers per hour.
    He also said that the speed of the medium-speed railway at 200 to 250 kilometers per hour is only about 11 minutes slower, and the project cost can be significantly reduced by 30% to 40%, and the Indonesian government will develop a clear reference framework
    for the construction of the medium-speed railway in the next step.

    The Indonesian side has not yet announced this news to the Chinese Embassy in Indonesia and the Chinese Railway Corporation, the Chinese cooperative enterprise in the project
    .

    A source with knowledge of the Chinese bid revealed that trains with speeds of 200 to 250 kilometers per hour also fall under high-speed rail according to international standards
    .
    The Indonesian side proposed to return to China and Japan this time, in essence, it is still dissatisfied with the high cost of the project, hoping to reduce the cost
    by suppressing the low speed.
    He revealed that in the plan previously submitted by China, whether it is a high-speed railway with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour or a "China Railway" with a speed of 200 to 250 kilometers per hour, there are studies
    .
    Therefore, "on this project, the Chinese side is very confident, even if the Indonesian side requests another feasibility study on the medium-speed railway, the Chinese side still has an advantage.
    "

    If the Indonesian side really wants to do this medium-speed railway project, China is willing to actively cooperate; If the Indonesian side wants to slow down, the Chinese side will also look calmly
