Its a lot easier when you have slave labor and don't care about the enviroment or human lives
It unquestionably is but it sounds like you're implying that high speed rail is some sort of utopian megaproject and not a solved problem of basic, reliable and effective infrastructure that is a great bang for your buck in every country that builds it.
I mean we actually own land in the US where it’s not owned by a person in the same sense in China. So it’s easier for the government to cease it and do whatever it wants with it
I understand what this comment is trying to say, but I doubt US is very big on caring about environment. Remind me, how many fracking projects?
Remind me of land owner rights in China
Private ownership of land shouldn’t exist at the first place
Who should it belong to?
Zemes māte, goddess of the earth
Hatsune Miku
land shouldn't belong to anybody
Spain has the lowest cost per kilometer in the world when it comes to building High Speed train (14.5 million €/km) and they care for the environment and don't have slave labour. Rather, they have very strong unions.
Like in Spain with much smaller economy and almost 4 thousand km - admittedly they started back in the 1990s I think.
It's also a lot easier when you cut costs and all the rails will be unused in a few years due to poor construction materials.
Tofu Dreg construction and corruption is very real in China.
So… like the Musk-man does anyway?
