My question is, who is constructing these rail systems in each of the countries? My understanding was that Chinese companies had built a lot of the biggest subway systems in various cities from Kiev to Singapore.

For political reasons that would be untenable in the US. Therefore we have to pay full price to build a thing we’re not good at building and don’t have the ramped up supply chains to support. If there’s only one company left that builds a component you need, guess what? You pay whatever they ask.

From Kyiv to Singapore, sure, but not far west of Kyiv. I’m not aware of _any_ Chinese transport project in Western Europe?

The MTR Corporation out of Hong Kong runs trains for Stockholm, Sweden.

I mean, that’s a public multinational which runs a rail system. You were originally talking about _building_ them.

Most European cities don't have any Chinese involvement.
