This is a truly incredible article that criticizes China’s plans to build high speed rail to under-served parts of China by taking the angle that it won’t make money, and therefore is stupid. Amazing that infrastructure projects that help rural Chinese gain access to a high speed rail network is criticized from the angle of profit-making when making a profit is never the point with infrastructure projects. The NYC subway system wasn’t built to “make a profit,” but that doesn’t mean it was a bad idea. But China bad so somehow them building a crazy amount of high speed rail is bad.
