    This is easier for China to do because they have high density population centers to connect as rail hubs, which makes the system efficient, cheap and viable, unlike in the US where things are more spread apart…but I have no illusions that in the US anybody would build this even if it was viable.

      This is such a shit argument.

      US has comparable passenger railway service to Australia or worse while having metropolies with roughly the population of that entire country

      Dont forget that china is an authorian dictatorship. “Do as your told or else” also makes a lot of things easier
