Indonesia's top development official says the government is studying proposals from China and Japan to build a high-speed rail line and expects to announce the outcome later this month, according to AP. Andrinof Chaniago, the national development planning minister, told reporters Tuesday that a decision on which proposal to accept will be made in about two weeks. The high-speed rail, which will connect the capital Jakarta to Bandung, is part of Indonesia's 750-kilometer (466-mile) high-speed train project that will cut across three provinces on the main island of Java and end in the country's second largest city of Surabaya.
