A lone paper inChina ’s state - run Beijing Timesclaims the body politic is already in discourse to build an 8,000 + mile railroad connecting China , Russia , Canada , and the U.S.—including a 125 Swedish mile undersea burrow spanning the Bering Strait . Forget take this with a grain of Strategic Arms Limitation Talks , you ’re gon na want the whole shaker .
Yes , according toWang Mengshu , a railway expert at the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the only person cited in the report , China has already discussed the plan with Russia , and Russia ’s on control panel . Never take care that the offer undersea path would be more than five times longer than the current longest underwater tunnel , the one under the English Channel .

As The Guardian puts it , the bonkers marriage offer leaves plenty of room for incredulity :
No other Taiwanese railway expert have issue forth out in support of the propose project . Whether the government has confab Russia , the US or Canada is also ill-defined . The Bering Strait tunnel alone would require an unprecedented effort of engineering – it would be the world ’s long submarine tunnel – four time the length of the Channel Tunnel .
The Guardian was unable to reach Wang for remark . Assumedly , he ’d left work for the dayin his fly car . [ The GuardianviaThe Washington Post ]
