China is now well known for building massively. The highest, the fastest, the largest, they all can be found within the borders of the country. High speed railway is not the exception. China initially relied on high-speed technology imported from Europe and Japan to establish its network. Global rail engineering giants such as Bombardier, Alstom and Mitsubishi were understandably keen to co-operate, given the potential size of the new market and China’s ambitious plans.
However, over the last decade, it is domestic companies that have developed into world leaders in high-speed train technology and engineering, thanks to the astonishing expansion of their home network.

Cool
Rafa, just one correction. We have taken the title of the most populous country from China away. We Indians are now the most populous. 😂
In 2008, the Chinese government planned to develop high-speed rail projects. Some intellectuals in China mock China, and now it has been proven that they are wrong.
HOW is development of high speed rail in Eastern China?
Hallo Rafa
Portugal becomes a new metro train made by China🙃👍
来过中国的人还想来，没来过的一直在听BBC抹黑反华，还有滤镜，
Cost comparison?
I’m surprised you visited my city, Zaragoza! I just wanted to clarify 2 points. First, Spanish network may look small compared to China, but its by far the largest per inhabitant. Second, Iryo is actually a Spanish company with Italian participation. In this specific matter, Spain is a country that “can catch up with China”, contrary to what the title says.
My India after 10 year of construction only 12 KM has been completed 😢
😍👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Interesting information, thank you! Cheers from the USA 👍👏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💞💕💕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Tell me you haven’t been to Japan without telling me you haven’t been to Japan
15 euros for a 90 minutes ride on hsr? that is pretty cheap by any standard.
The Zaragoza station is actually pretty nice and classy .. you say, Chinese train stations are more beautiful?!?! Let's see in other videos!
China high speed rail will exceed 50000km this year.
When you pay such an expensive ticket in Euro €, the seat better be good. Or else, we will strangle the Spanish rail authority.
What about the price and distance??
Wow, it's much cheaper the ICE in Germany and THE, France. A distance like that in France and Germany can easily cost you €40 and above.
I would suggest the HSR in China is just the common sense prevails!
China does not have large oil reserves like the US so it would be a horrendous economic penalty to import endless oil for the Chinese people to run cars like the US and the west. Thus China must develop and electrify its public transport system. Therefore it is logical for China to develop the HSR and compliment it with a large metro network connecting over 45 to 50 cities. Owning a car in China is not essential but a luxury for most people. Chinese just live within their means while trying to be green and sustainable.
The necessity of developing the HSR also requires China to develop its renewable energy so in parallel with the HSR China is also the world biggest renewable energy generator in each of the hydro, solar and wind. To enable the renewable energy largely concentrated in the North west of China the UHV transmission lines have to be innovated and installed so that the green energy are utilised by the eastern coast consumers 2000 to 3000km away from the points of power generation.
Thus riding a HSR in China is natural. It is backed up by a huge metro network to ensure one can reach most parts of China using public transport without depleting the fossil oil. In the mean time China is going all out to de-carbon itself with renewable energy to ensure China's future generations do have a future.
China's HSR has progressed too far ahead to the extent that western mainstream medias could not create believable fake news to smear China's HSR.
China has built a high-speed railway with a speed of 350㎞ per hour in Indonesia, which is expected to be officially opened for operation on August 18th this year!
中国🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amazing 😉 train
I was in China for one month and took high speed train to cross half of China in business class. Such a pleasant experience. Much more affordable price compared with Europe
Total propaganda. All model trains filmed in Hollywood studios. I believed Star Track was real whin I was 10.
Drew H is digging on every petty issue to pick on. Feeling sour obviously.
Subscribe right now ❤greeting from 🇳🇴🇩🇿
CHINA runs the super fastest train intheworld with max speed of 600kmhr.
CHINA soon will launch hypoer Loop inthe world,the project is under work in progress.
Every country should learn from CHINA.❤️🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳❤️🙏
Sperb video showing facts about high speed rail.across worlds sper power Countries.
Sperb & thanks mr.Rafael❤
I think there is a mistake in narrative. India only have 12 km of rails to go to complete their HSR.
when l came to China, l found China is AMAZING! l dare say China is better than the West in many ways.Modernization, convenience, hospitality, safety, all of these has left a positive impression on me.
