Gina Raimondo Shocked: Experience China’s 350km/h High-Speed Rail | 20 years Ahead of The US #china

#china #usa #railway #project #chinanews ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ As one of the most developed countries in the world, the United States has always prided itself on being a leader in technology and infrastructure. However, during his recent visit to China, US Secretary of Commerce Raimondo personally experienced China’s high-speed rail and was shocked by the result. On the night of August 29, Raimondo needed to go from Beijing, China to Shanghai, a journey of about 1,213 kilometers. Raimondo chose to take China’s high-speed rail, which reached a speed of 350 kilometers per hour and completed the journey in just 4.5 hours. However, the same distance would take about 20 hours if you choose to travel by American train. Therefore, we can conclude that China’s high-speed rail is more than five times more efficient than the US rail system. Obviously, compared with China’s high-speed rail network, the United States has lagged behind by a full 20 years. This fact not only shocked the US Secretary of Commerce, but also attracted widespread attention from some US media. In contrast, the development of high-speed rail in the United States has progressed like a snail, and even the first high-speed rail line has not been built after more than ten years. This makes us think: Why is the development of high-speed rail in the United States so slow, while China can quickly build such an advanced transportation network in just a dozen years? Today, we’ll take a deep dive into the differences between China’s and the U.S.’s high-speed rail developments, and explore the reasons for those gaps. ----------------------------------------------
