With this option you recommend, what would be the plan though?

Dalian design and supply all new train sets to replace the old sumitomo ones?

If yes, what's the plan while we wait for new dalian trains? No rehab of the MRT3 and leave it to rot (even if you use local maintenance groups we already know what that means)? Spend on Sumitomo Rehab but throw it away after?

If you won't have Sumitomo rehab while Dalian is designing, are you planning to close the whole MRT so Dalian can start work on the MRT? Or are you saying Dalian should be in charge of rehab and work on the old sumitomo systems which they have no experience on? Wouldn't this proposal ruin their reputation as well and they would say no to it?

I am just curious because the only way I see your idea only getting a YES from Dalian is that MRT3 is completely closed and Dalian starts updating it to suit their systems.
