@davel@elgordino True. However, many stations are ghost stations, that only got built because a provincial official got their hands on the money from Beijing. Also much of critical construction is already in a bad and unsafe state, only shortly after opening. This means that on many stretches top speeds cannot be maintained or they can’t even be used at all. Much construction is of “tofu dreg” quality and is crumbling already.
“Ghost stations” are bullshit[1][2], and “tofu dreg quality” is bullshit running on the fumes of 1980s Chinese manufacturing (and is racist). Where do our iPhones and other smart phones and our laptops come from? What country’s lunar lander just returned from far side of the moon? People need to get their heads out of their asses.
