This is one of best documents on the history of China management of the HSR. China is a country based on community so having a loss making HSR isn't an issue because it is for the good of community. China HSR is further complimented by an equally successful metro system which is also the most modern, the biggest and the widest in the world. Of the top 8 busiest metro in the world China has 5 of them. Of the world's biggest metro network China has 9 out of the top 10. Both China's HSR and metro are fully electrified paving for a modern world to be integrated with renewable energy which China also leads the world in each of hydro, solar and wind generation. The west always looks at China's success like the HSR in isolation and does not have the capacity to appreciate it is just a small wheel of a big machine pushing China into the modern sustainable world.
