China has built a high-speed railway with a speed of 350㎞ per hour in Indonesia, which is expected to be officially opened for operation on August 18th this year!
A 20 years ago was backwarded. Many things have advanced since. But, culturally, it is still lacking behind intellectually if in the Western/American perspective.
I was in China for one month and took high speed train to cross half of China in business class. Such a pleasant experience. Much more affordable price compared with Europe

I would suggest the HSR in China is just the common sense prevails! China does not have large oil reserves like the US so it would be a horrendous economic penalty to import endless oil for the Chinese people to run cars like the US and the west. Thus China must develop and electrify its public transport system. Therefore it is logical for China to develop the HSR and compliment it with a large metro network connecting over 45 to 50 cities. Owning a car in China is not essential but a luxury for most people. Chinese just live within their means while trying to be green and sustainable. The necessity of developing the HSR also requires China to develop its renewable energy so in parallel with the HSR China is also the world biggest renewable energy generator in each of the hydro, solar and wind. To enable the renewable energy largely concentrated in the North west of China the UHV transmission lines have to be innovated and installed so that the green energy are utilised by the eastern coast consumers 2000 to 3000km away from the points of power generation. Thus riding a HSR in China is natural. It is backed up by a huge metro network to ensure one can reach most parts of China using public transport without depleting the fossil oil. In the mean time China is going all out to de-carbon itself with renewable energy to ensure China's future generations do have a future.
@@drewh3224Land acquisition make government unpopular. So in India there cannot be more than one project at a time impacting several provinces which means massive loss of electoral votes. When the first projet will finish in 2028, then and only then the second project will start. The 3rd project will start after the second have finished and so forth and so on.. If it will take 10 years to complete 500 km of high speed rail. Then calculate how many years it will take to match the actual 43000 km network in China.

Spain's high-speed train just got better than the Indian train. Either train or station, Still no comparison with China. These days, the Western world lack of their capability and innovation.
You will be ok, man. Democracy tends to be messy in the early. But, once it is putting pieces together, things will fall in place. I'm always very much admired how intellectual Indians are. Unlike the mainland Chinese, Indians are very much known for their surroundings and history in-depth. I could sit down for endless chats with meaningful conversations.
India's population will double that of China, or even triple that of China in the decades ahead. I believe China will want to see its population decrease to 1.2 billion to be able to sustain a high standard of living for its population. Of course, that will be more than 50 years into the future. Most developed countries are already beginning to see a peak in their population and will be experiencing a slow reduction in their population as births cannot keep up with the dying. Japan is already beginning to see a slow reduction in their population. I believe China's population will peak at 1.5 billion and thereafter see a gradual decline to under 1.2 billion.
@@drewh3224 Didn't you have democracy 75 years ago? - What? Is this still early? The average life expectancy of you India is less than 75 years. Do you have to wait another 75 years?
That’s what I thought…such a good deal, but I went into their website to check and the €15 is the cheapest if you are flexible and buy in advance, plus only very few trains (0 to 2 trains) available and usually in odd hours are priced at €15 (like 7am and 9pm). Prices varies… up to €110 the most expensive ones for standard ticket. Where as the ones in China are the same or similar prices unless it’s a train with lower speed or with connection.
I’m surprised you visited my city, Zaragoza! I just wanted to clarify 2 points. First, Spanish network may look small compared to China, but its by far the largest per inhabitant. Second, Iryo is actually a Spanish company with Italian participation. In this specific matter, Spain is a country that “can catch up with China”, contrary to what the title says.
We must adopt and develop the Chinese mindset in relation to rail travel - this can only be achieved and made a reality by governments and Parliaments in each country passing radical and far reaching laws that force countries to change thier mindset
China's new generation of low-temperature maglev technology trains can already float when they are still,China can build the most advanced maglev trains and the longest high-speed train network in the world because according to international patent data in 2021, China is ranked 1st for maglev technology and the largest high-speed train, namely 43.52%, far above rank 2 for Japan 20.57%.
@@javierjimenez3784 Interesting point but still I don't care that much about the city population, right now I'm just wondering about the architecture qualites. From the videos I've seen so far, the Chinese High-Speed train stations looked all the same to me (since the Chinese government built them all with the same pattern in order to reduce cost). Usually big from the outside and not so much interesting in the inside, often times quite dark on the platforms, kinda soulless overall. My impressions of the Chinese high speed train stations are actually the opposite from the impression of their Fuxing hao trains, which I find very well designed and very aesthetically pleasing.
Opinions on visual things are subjective . Material preference for example - some people just prefer glass over concrete. Or warmth vs vibrant ( the station is on the warmth side). Zaragoza staion was designed and built with 1990s technology. The shades on the roof are not necessary if built today because of glass technology. And the natural skylight glass roof can be replaced by current LED technology.
@@blue-xb1cq The concept behind this project was to create “a new cathedral” for the city. For this, it was essential to let in natural light (not LED), as is the case with Gothic cathedrals. In addition, those shades that you speak of respond mainly to aesthetic reasons and temperature regulation, since the structure is made up of identical triangles that, if desired, could be resolved by means of a skylight over the entire roof. I’m from there so I know the project :)
China must take complete and direct control of the UK’s rail system - the continued mismanagement and incompetence of the U.K. rail network is highlighted by the failure of HS2 and in the 21st century this cannot be allowed to happen further without strong action being taken to correct it via a hostile takeover by the CCP of the U.K. rail system

Actually they have huge untapped oil reserves in Xinjiang, which is why one reason of many that the US is trying to cause trouble in that region.
@@ElZilchoYoYou are right, mainly because fossil energy is too polluting, and it is necessary to prepare for electrification deployment in advance
In fact, the high-speed rail network has connected more than 400 cities.
Wow, it's much cheaper than the ICE in Germany and TGV, France. A distance like that in France and Germany can easily cost you €40 and above.
My India after 10 year of construction only 12 KM has been completed 😢
