"China–Russia–Canada–America" railway[edit]

In 2014 reports emerged that China is considering construction of a "China–Russia–Canada–America" 600 km/h bullet train railroad that would include a 200 km (120 mi)-long underwater tunnel crossing the Bering Strait.^[27] The train would reportedly travel at around 220 mph, allowing passengers to travel from China to the United States in around two days.^[28]

Although the press remain skeptical of the project, China's state-run China Daily claims that China possesses the necessary technology, which will be used to construct an underwater tunnel connecting China's Fujian province with Taiwan.^[29] It has not really been figured out who is expected to pay in the end, and how many passengers that will use the two days ride instead of air planes.

The TKM-World Link[edit]

The TKM-World Link (Russian: ТрансКонтинентальная магистраль, English: Transcontinental Railway) also called ICL-World Link (Intercontinental link) is a planned 6,000-kilometer link between Siberia and Alaska providing oil, natural gas, electricity, and railroad passengers to the United States from Russia. Proposed in 2007, the plan includes provisions to build a 103-kilometre (64 mi) tunnel under the Bering Strait which, if completed, would become the longest tunnel in the world.^[22] The tunnel would be part of a railway joiningYakutsk, the capital of the Russian Yakutia republic, and Komsomolsk-on-Amur, in the Russian far east, with the western coast of Alaska.^[23] The Bering Strait tunnel was estimated to cost between $10 billion to $12 billion, while the entire project was estimated to cost $65bn.^[22]

In 2008, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin approved the plan to build a railroad to the Bering Strait area, as a part of the development plan to run until 2030. The more than 100-kilometre (60 mi) tunnel would run under the Bering Strait between Chukotka, in the Russian far east, and Alaska.^[24] The cost estimate was US$66 billion.^[25]

As of 2013, the railway Amur Yakutsk Mainline connecting Yakutsk (2,800 km or 1,700 mi from the strait) with the main rail network is completed. However, this railway is meant for freight and is too curvy for high-speed passenger trains.

In late August 2011, at a conference in Yakutsk in eastern Russia, the plan was backed by some of President Dmitry Medvedev's top officials, including Aleksandr Levinthal, the deputy federal representative for the Russian Far East.^[23] It would be a faster, safer, and cheaper way to move freight around the world than container ships, supporters of the idea believed.^[23] They estimated it could carry about 3% of global freight and make about US$7 billion a year.^[23] Shortly after, the Russian government approved the construction of the US$65 billion Siberia-Alaska rail and tunnel across the Bering Strait.^[24]

Other observers doubt that this will be cheaper than container ships, having in mind that the cost for transport from China to Europe by railroad is higher than by container ship (except for expensive cargo where lead time is important),^[26] despite the fact that the ships have to make a large detour past Singapore.
