China is considering plans to build a high-speed railway line to the US, the country’s official media has reported.

The proposed line would begin in north-east China and run up through Siberia, pass through a tunnel underneath the Pacific Ocean then cut through Alaska and Canada to reach the continental US.

Earlier, the country has constructed the world’s longest bullet train network with more than 6,200 miles of routes in service.

In 2012, they opened the world’s longest high-speed link between Beijing and Guangzhou.
