China will continue building high speed rails, despite setbacks. When a country builds infrastructure on this scale, there are bound to be problems. But you don't throw the baby out with the bath water (old American saying ;)

If Americans aren't big on high speed rails, so be it. But the Chinese are going to forge ahead to eventually have more high speed rails than the rest of the world combined. And if it fits them, so be it.

Yes we know; and the British and the French kept their national pride with their Concorde for many years too. Are we to feel sad we did not join them?
