[@unic-k4q]

Ananth Pai That's the thing about China. India has soured its relationship with practically all of its neighbours. Unlike India, who is aggressive with practically the whole world if it doesn't suit their mood, China wants everyone to come aboard and work together. Other countries compete with other nations while China's only competition is itself.. They do not try to be better than everyone else but they strive to be better than what they were yesterday. And that is what we all should do in our personal lives too. But such profound vision is not bestowed upon everyone. If you still do not believe that everyone should come together to make this world a better place, the loss is yours. The venom one carries doesn't poison others but one's soul.

[@ananthx7]

Look at China's relationship with its neighbours, It has problem with Vietnam , Mangolia , Taiwan and also with India and with a small country like Bhutan too. Any country that picks on Bhutan is a bully. Single party rule will not last long, they will be internal frictions, India has a smaller economy now, but already our growth rate is atleast 1.5 % more than China ( IMF numbers ), wait for another 20 years to see what this results in. we will see in our lifetime how the current communist government can handle slowing down of the economy.

Efficient fullfillment of everyone's needs and less spent on military. Wars are massive wastes of blood and materials. Even preparation for war is a waste, tying up men and materials that spend almost all their time doing nothing. $2 trillion world-wide wasted on weapons.

However, we do have access to FB, KZbin and all that in Hongkong, so it's not really a restricted internet, it just depends on where you are in China.

But they have apologized... It was said in a statement made by Prime Minister Junichiro Koizum that "In the past, Japan, through its colonial rule and aggression, caused tremendous damage and suffering to the people of many countries, particularly to those of Asian nations. Sincerely facing these facts of history, I once again express my feelings of deep remorse and heartfelt apology..." ( source: www.mofa.go.jp/announce/announce/2005/8/0815.html )

[@sadenb]

India has also friendly relations with England despite the 200 year colonial invasion. I understand that the english should apologise to India on similar terms. I say this as an Indian because if Japan and China could be at peace with each other then many issues with India and China can also be solved that are linked with Japan.

[@sadenb]

It's not about superiority. It is about living in harmony. India too has been robbed off for the last 1000 years by invasions followed by a socialist rule. Now if India and China at not on similar terms, it would be difficult to co-operate. China is flexing it's muscles to parts of South East Asia. Things would turn out better if they maintain peace with Japan and India. That's what our philosopher Buddha told.

[@sadenb]

India did not take part in OBOR because it violates it's territorial sovereignty and that is big let-down. China demonstrated that it wants superiority and not co-operation thereby diminishing chances. Harmony has to be done with respect.

[@sadenb]

Harmony does not mean surrendering. When you put a road right on our sovereign territory, of course we will protest. Japan has not created routes in your territory in the present day. But China is doing that in the present day. India has not invaded any country for the last thousands of years. Even after India helped Bangladesh win independence against Pakistan, it never annexed it even though it was rightfully India's. Rather India gave Bangladesh their own independence. We have never imposed laws on others or anything. There are 26 languages and 1700 dialects in India. Our civilisation has spread to all of east Asia without a single sword. So yes, we have showed the way.

The bond market will punish the US further with high interest rates. The American project will be over. A few years later China will buy America at 10 cents on the dollar. The US has been selling bits of itself for close to 50 years. Capitalists were looking for more profit year-over-year. Manufacturing went wherever labor was cheapest. Intellectual property went along with it. "That's okay, we've got banks" says America and they started selling evermore expensive houses to each other.

After being taught how to build under the sales contracts, China CRH innovates and designs their own CRH trains. (Details about all the top universities in China are engaged with the innovation of CRH is too much a story to tell here.)

No, you can not reverse engineer a HST system by "disassembling the whole trains into smaller parts in a methodical manner, step by step, and then rebuild from the basis of small parts into a whole train. And through this process in a simple way, the Chinese learned the skills of building a high speed rail." This standard of explanation is only good for primary school pupils.

综上所述，日本不仅根本没有与中国争夺高铁订单的“资本”，而且也更没有“资格”。当然了，海外高铁订单，就是做买卖。既然是做买卖，就得看东家如何选择了。 不过，我还真得提醒那些想建、要建，甚至准备马上建高铁的国家，在选“下家”时，一定要睁开眼睛，不要钱的“零成本”绝对不是好事，反过来一定会被“咬”得遍体鳞伤，甚至“丧命”。试想一下，天上掉“馅饼”的事儿有吗？更何况自从大和民族诞生以来，这个国家就根本没有守过信誉。再拿“举全国之力”来说，一个小小的日本根本不是雄踞世界第二大经济体、泱泱13亿中国人的对手，就是小日本的人浑身都是铁，又能够捻几根钉呢？

And if China supports than the hyperloop.. 🤔 I guess we would be in Trouble but also would create a awsome infrastructure Yeah train system in China already is pretty impressive.

[@hyperloop0014]

Hyperloop is not able to handle the great needs of public transit.

If they can build high speed rail to Tibet...they can do anything...imagine train running at altitude higher then helicopter can fly !

[@bnco]

What really interesting is that Africa Now has their own version of the High-Speed Railway. America, on the other hand, still struggling with the Budgeting in LA- VAGAS line which starts in 2007-2008. Obama pays the Rail Corp 3 billion and the rest from taxpayer pocket. The Original Plan is 10 billion and now the projection cost of up to 110 billion. The 3 billion receive from the government grant is dry up. From calculating how much it cost. You Guys Always says "Check and Balance" funny you alway checking but couldn't balance.

All chinese would think this is great! But countries have borders...which the United Nations would love to get rid of! Chinese are rapidly buying up everything in Australia and the people are pissed off!

焦点三：中国高铁海外申请专利可能被诉讼？ 【回应】中国企业海外申请专利合理合法 日本《朝日新闻》7月5日报道称，川崎重工总裁大桥忠晴表示，“如果中国高铁海外申请专利的内容与中国和川崎重工关于新干线技术出口的契约相抵触，将不得不对中国提起诉讼”。 对此，王勇平说：“中国企业申请高铁的相关技术专利是合理合法的，是为了更好地促进高铁技术的革新、转让和传播，更好地为人类社会服务。我们的底气十足。”他介绍说，目前我国已经制定了100余项高速铁路建设标准规范，覆盖了工务工程、牵引供电、通信信号、系统设备、运营调度、客运服务六大系统，形成了具有世界先进水平的中国高铁技术标准体系和成套工程技术。据初步统计，目前我国高铁已经申请专利1900多项，还有481项正在受理。与任何外国公司没有发生过知识产权方面的纠纷。 据了解，去年美国通用电气公司和中国南车就合资合作进行了广泛的讨论，其中包括技术方面的讨论。通用公司的法律团队经过大量研究，认为在美国市场应用中国南车的技术不存在任何障碍。双方于去年12月签署协议，中国南车将向其与通用公司在美国组建的合资公司转让国产动车组技术，这些技术已通过美国知识产权局的审查，不存在知识产权方面的问题。

The train ride from London to New York dosn't seam realsitic as it would be faster just to fly over the atlantic ocean than crossing the entire European and Asian continent as well as crossing Alaska and Canada

[@elredster2]

What the speaker doesn't really say is all these projects are for fast freight - so China can expert it's goods to markets around the world faster, more cost-effectively and respond to market requirements quicker.

I look forward to the day when I can take a high-speed train from Singapore to Beijing. Use the public loo, and back to Singapore, in time for dinner.

I think aeroplane are better in connecting countries separated by large oceans or seas

Will someone up here tell me who is this speaker? what is his name in Chinese and Englsih? thanks~

[@paulzhou9993]

Gerald Chan I presume.

[@machobunny1]

Can they do that? Well, if they wanted to, maybe. But now that the US has a President who demands that the US stop giving everything we have to them, NO...they will not be able. Unless we give them both the technology and the money, and we no longer will do that unless we make as much on the deal as they do.

[@richiesd1]

What about the hyperloop?

[@swatisquantum]

richiesd1 first where’s the working example? Second, can it run cargo trains AUTONOMOUSLY 24-7 from BEIJING to TEHRAN 365 days per year? It almost seems like this cross country rail is like what the Nile did for ancient Egypt. It fed everybody around it because it provided delivery/trade of goods to anyone who lived near it.

[@ciceroaraujo2552]

what is bad about this approach is that nothing is mentioned on sustainability

[@LaRoucheisright]

Sustainability is a nonsense concept. There are NO limits to growth. We are not earthlings, we are a galactic species. Fusion is unlimited energy. Unlimited energy sustains everything humanity needs. What needs to be sustained is a continuously increasing standard of living for all humans. After all human life is sacred if I'm not wrong. "We hold that all men are created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights, among which...

[@reesespeanut4778]

why build rails if there are airports?

[@csabavezer80]

+Cometita Blin Blin Because on rails you can transport more stuffs and its cheaper than plane.

[@reesespeanut4778]

csabavezer80 true. Not sure what i was thinking. transport more stuff at once leads to cheaper transport. But how about by ocean? China is currently building a interoceanic canal in nicaragua. Not too far from the panama canal. I mean, is the current transport system that inefficient for trade that they need such a ambitious project?

[@csabavezer80]

One time I heard that a train from Shanghai can arrive in Madrid in 5-6 days, meanwhile on the Ocean the same distance take two and a half or three weeks.

[@_chg1424]

+Kale Girl high speed rail is faster than shipping and cheaper than air. It's right in the middle, which fit the gap nicely...

[@hotchi1566]

+Nan Cheng When I visit China in recent years, I always travel by high speed rail. It's so fast and very comfortable.

[@granskare]

the midwest of USA is waiting for China to bring their trains here :) I saw the railway from Beijing to Lhasa :) I also see China making claims to near all the area in the south China Sea, building bases on atolls there. China MUST halt this effort !

[@robertcalamusso4218]

Dude. There are other Nations that have good rail technology also. Look at. Europe. ☮️

[@terrysong2128]

[@JosephLee2012]

Extremely impressive realistic vision.

[@evanchorm4573]

This is scary AF. Chinese gloating about their superiority and technology and desiring to connect the world with such mentalities will only make people come under their reign and power.

[@pinkythebrain3715]

We have connected the world with our planes, they have to because they have trains.

[@jackytang3683]

aircraft and airport are more efficient and economic than high-speed railways especially in less human areas ,for example Serbia Alaska

[@Zergcerebrates]

jacky tang these highspeed rail system can be dual use. Ever thought of highspeed rail that carries freight? It’ll still be fast but cheaper than air.

[@plymko900]

So the country that doesn't know how to make pens doesn't know about planes either.

[@Wollenschrank]

Trans-continental and international railway lines sounds good. But what rail gauge shall be used? And why old-fashioned steel wheel trains? Japan will connect Seoul to it's railnetwork, but definitely by their new developed magnetic leviation trains (cuz much faster). So why the Chinese use these outdated steelrail technology in various gauges?

[@猫叔-l7g]

Maglev is actually much less attractive than you expected compared to a bullet train cuz air resistance is the main issue at high speed. A much higher construction cost is also a shortcoming.

[@kevinivo822]

Maglevs use liquid helium to cool the magnets. We as a planet are running out of helium fast unless we can somehow commercialize D-T fusion and mass produce it.

[@LaRoucheisright]

China is on the way to the moon to get helium3 for their fusion reactors now.

[@xplorefurther]

Chinese also has MegLev technology - Shanghai Maglev Train. Look at Japan's Meglev (Chuo Shinkansen) and check how long and how much for them to build. It's just like building a network with optic vs Cable in a community. Demand vs Cost. The price to repay Meglev (on each ticket) will be a lot higher than regular high speed rail. Concord vs Boeing 747 perhaps is a good example.

[@baturgunl504]

for long distance travel 2000KM+ if carrying humans fastest way is to fly, container ship tanker is cheapest for cargo. I dont see how these worldwide trains be utilized.

[@swatisquantum]

Batur GunL the rail lines are used to transport humans AND “river” to feed unlimited cargo trains. They can run 24-7 with little fleet on autonomously delivering goods 365 days per year. Pure genius way to spend your budget surplus while you’re “on top”.

personally, I'd rather just hop aboard a plane rather than multiply the duration of my long haul trip(s)
