But we’re beating the pants off of them in the all-important category of diversity.

They won’t be able to build that in the US until all the graft and corruption is taken care of. That’s where most of the money seems to go when building any type of large public project.

A good project for the CCP to waste its limited resources on.

As I recall the Chinese fast trains are heavily subsidized, always operating at significant losses.

“According to China’s state-run CGTN, the test results were “consistent with the preset values,” though specific details remain undisclosed.”

I suspect that if they were having all that much success testing they’d be bragging about it more than they are.

Speed of sound in a 1 psi vacuum is higher I think.

Gee, will China claim their great success is due to their DEI policies?

In order for this to work, you have to dictate where people have to live. It is very expensive for this track to have to be moved to account for changing populations.
