With @Liani_MK , we tracked down an East Coast Rail Link site (below) – surprisingly hard. (Malaysians have resorted to flying drones over the construction sites to monitor activity.) China's CCCC is building the rail link. They didn't want to talk. pic.twitter.com/M1gTKHoEvj

A decade on, I look at one of the biggest Belt and Road projects announced: a rail link in Malaysia, the political twists and turns it's taken to finally being built, and what it says more broadly about the challenges Chinese infrastructure face abroad.https://t.co/8GQN0jxqSI

To our great surprise, we found CCCC had blasted through solid rock to construct a supremely costly tunnel path a previous Malaysian regime had negotiated OUT of the rail link plan, thus locking Malaysia into a more expensive route. pic.twitter.com/OvV2llQceu

That the rail link is being built at all is a win though – other BRI projects fell prey to 1MDB corruption, bureaucratic delays, political turns, profiteering by Chinese contractors, lack of due diligence. Turns out, it's really hard to build globally.https://t.co/dLUIRIfo6e
