    Connecting the capital cities of Hungary and Serbia, the Budapest-Belgrade railway is a 350-kilometer high-speed rail line project, also a landmark Belt and Road project between China and Central and Eastern European Countries. More than a year after its Belgrade-Novi Sad segment opened to the public, what changes has it brought to the locals? CGTN's Wang Guan travels on the high-speed train and hears thoughts from Serbian people.

    Thank you people of China for helping us build up our rail. Also thank you for perfect pronounciation of Serbian cities. Most western foreigners can't even start pronouncing properly Slavic names. Very rare and I am speaking from experience. Also thank you for using special characters for people's names such as Č Š Ć... again most people in the western world are racist/nationalist against this and most of the times misspell my name... Glory to China and Chinese people.

    Remaining 108 km from Novi Sad to Hungarian border (city of Subotica) should be completed by the end of 2024 and after tests it will most likely open at the start of 2025. So full section of Serbian high speed railway will be operational very soon.

      For decades, before the pre-shocks of war in Yugoslavia became too clear, there existed a direct international train from Malmö (southern Sweden) via Denmark, West Germany - Muních - Vienna - Belgrade (I remember spotting it once at its northern terminus in Malmö and feeling quite thrilled that there was a train that went this far into the heart of Europe; this was at the height of the Cold War and there were few direct train connections between Sweden and eastern Europe). After 1991 it was rerouted to go to Budapest instead, and that line was kept open until 2000 I think. Europe needs a return of these comfortable long-distance inter-city trains across multiple borders.

    While China every day is helping other countries building infrastructures, making amazing progress, inventing new technology, achieving real results for technology, infrastructure, improving the nation building and working hard to improve the standard of living for the people. China next door neighbor "I" on the west border is always busy with their ton of boastful hypes, self-praise on their leadership, chanting superpower, dreaming of replacing China as world manufacturing country. But with not much real achievement, progress and result.
    Beside the above mentioned, this country "I" still not ashamed to belittle China and always criticize Chinese products are tofu products. Yet they have imported and buying China products 4 times more than China is buying and importing from them.
    China success must have made them very upset, jealous and frustrating that their many media channels, no a day we don't see their media making negative news, fake news and propaganda reports bashing and mocking China like a dog barking daily. But the China just ignored the dog barking noises and keep moving forward to get their business done to achieve what they aim for. The 2 Asian countries with more than 5,000 years of civilization and history, but they are so different.
