China has built the world’s largest bullet-train network
"Less than a decade ago China had yet to connect any of its cities by bullet train. Today, it has 20,000km (12,500 miles) of high-speed rail lines, more than the rest of the world combined. It is planning to lay another 15,000km by 2025"The contrast to the UK, where we might someday build the HS2 line London-Birmingham-Manchester, is massive.  I am left with a feeling of awe at China's development, and frustration at the UK's stagnancy.
