Who in hell cares whether the technology was “stolen?” China is using it, while we’re not. The future belongs to those who take risks. Let the meek inherit the Earth - it’s all they deserve.

CA high speed LA-SF derailed. The technology and know-how is there but prohibitive labor costs. Communist China has no unions. Rich in irony.

Passenger railroads are as much of a money loser for them as it is for anyone else.

The only question is the size of the subsidy which, in the case of high speed rail, is massive and ongoing.
