One fucking accident | That's the one everyone knew about. I suggest that you do some googling to see what other problems plague the Chinese highspeed trains. I'll give you a few to start -- railway sinking, top speed problems, track and train durability / reliability issues, to name a few. For something that's easier to look up information on, just look at the massive wastage that has been repeatedly stalling in the HK-China high speed train. Quote:

For all practical purposes, it can easily be viewed as a gov corp. Quote:

And again, nobody ever says democracy is problem free. All it means it there are checks and balances in place to prevent it from massively fxxking up on a repeated basis, and that is precisely what a dictatorship / authoritarian government lacks.
Don't try to defend China when they have obviously fxxked up. It just shows how ignorant you are.
I don't even know why I am wasting time to bother with you when it is crystal clear which system is superior. |
