China Premier Witnesses High-Speed Rail Trial in Indonesia

China's Premier Li Qiang will attend the trial run of a $7.3 billion high-speed rail project in Indonesia, which is part of China's Belt and Road Initiative. The project, delayed by various issues, including land procurement and the COVID-19 pandemic, will connect Jakarta to Bandung and is set to be commercially launched on October 1. Li's visit coincides with his attendance at the East Asia summit and other meetings in Jakarta, while U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris is also expected to be present.
