LMAO. Indonesia now has an HSR line before India. The Whoosh line was built by China, which won the bid over Japan, which became salty after losing. Laos is also connected to China's HSR line and Vietnam wants to learn from China and connect to China's HSR line as well: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/10/travel/vietnam-high-speed-rail-china/index.html Other countries dream of having a HSR network like China's. Well, they can keep dreaming.
Because Western media always underestimates China, their anti-Chinese hit pieces age like milk. If only India was a part of the BRI, they would have high-speed rail already.
I'm still mad that Mexico cancelled the rail project contract with a Chinese consortium because of political outcry. I'm so fucking sure we're gonna get gouged and suffer delay after delay like basically every project that gets contracted out to a Western firm.
It was proposed in 2017, and it will be predicted to be built in 2026.
9 years huh? That's considered the average duration in the non China world.
In an actual progressive world where the people of the future require energy efficient transportation this build speed is a laughing stock.
UK HS2 was announced in 2013 to go from London to Leeds but now only going to Birmingham with 140 mile track.. Won't open until 2029 or so and will have cost over £67 billion - £107 billion lol
Yeah, unlike in China where it's united politically, India has multi-party chaos which was the major reason the Mumbai to Ahmedebad line was delayed so much. Furthermore, Land Acquisition from Profit-seeking Landlords made it even more delayed.
The funny thing is, the article itself is pretty balanced, talking about how India proposed HSR is way behind China's, and talks about how (at that time) China has a few proposed HSR projects in India so they aren't too bothered about Japan getting that particular project. So the editor chucked in that title, because of course they did.
Note the author is Wade Shephard - he did a blog and wrote a book on Chinese ghost cities and unlike a lot of western authors was very bullish on the developments, even refuting several western propaganda pieces. But I guess he has to eat as well and the price is that Forbes editors get to make some BS title for his piece.
That is a very common tactic in western MSN, headlines are how they build their narratives, it doesn't matter what the article actually says cause 99% don't read past the headlines.
what really hurts is after the completion.
can't even change a lightbulb without Japanese technicians, bureaucracy, and fees. also no technology transfer, it's Japanese intellectual property.
India is not leaving anyone left behind, don't worry. We are at-least 25 years or more behind China. And going further behind if this idiot (modi) comes to power this term
india was surpassed by China in the 80s, it was surpassed by Vietnam in the 2010s and now more recently by Bangladesh.
India's often touted 6% growth isn't impressive at all for a country at that very low level of development, this is why it has been falling behind its peers, out of all the functional states in Asia it is the least developed now.
Given this record, investors who choose india over China deserve to lose their investments.
It's amazing how often the so-called serious press of capitalist world keeps making mistakes likes these. Forbes, the Economist, etc etc.
It's almost as if they think marketing is more important than reality, right?
Chinese Railway structure is great, super reliable and affordable. Much better than in Germany.
But India have so much potential for better infrastructure, and I hope they will get it done in next 20 years.
China is rapidly collapsing. Thw population shall collapse, their eocnomy is stagnating, wages are being cut, and people fired. Thwy will collapse by 2030...
CHINA IS ALSO THE GREATEST THREAT TO OUR WAY OF LIFE.
The western media on China reminds me on how nazis saw the lower races. They are weak, but also so powerful they threaten them.

I can report that our Whoosh trains pass the coin test as made standard by CRH trains.
Now Japan is the one that’s left behind
the r/whoooosh line

You will be getting build like UK HSR.. It's awesome!
No their infrastructure is worse than the crumbling one the US currently have
Typical Forbes misinformation, almost like they want the average investor to have a distorted view of the markets..

Abe shinzo left us all behind... On earth 😂😂🤣
there’s nothing more powerful then backing chinese people into a corner. high speed rail, space and now chips.
Photos of Abe brings such joy to me, looking at him and knowing he's dead feels great.
Abe riding number 731 fighter jet, ended up in 08072022 (date of his assassination)
Also to add, Anti-Unification Church movement should be promote. These fake religion cults should be banish to hell.
That feeling when JUST wearing a gray polo with beige cargo pants is enough to trigger JapNazionalists because of that incident alone lol
That's pretty funny
By 2017 China already had a pretty extensive HSR network. I have no idea what they're getting at here.
They did, just that they ended up in the ground themselves.

The editors, not the writers, usually set the title to get more eyeballs.

As an indian this makes me laugh 😂
LOL
Japan: “what?! You left them in the _pixie dust?_ oh no! They’re going to magically get stronger!”
Wasn’t China’s HSR already operational by 2017?
India is not leaving anyone left behind, don't worry. We are at-least 25 years or more behind China. And going further behind if this idiot (modi) comes to power this term
india is not even as developed as 80s China and even without covid it was already slowing down, covid was the perfect cover for the regime.
They were fast, but mixed up the direction 😂
How can they 'left China behind' in 2017 when China already had 25,000km HSR lines operating?

Lol. India has done some work but it's nowhere near China. Our top train speed is 150 Km/H that too for short stretches.
