Japans rail system cooks china.

Edit: can't reply to any comments because disagreement is against the rules.

It doesn't. China's high speed rail absolutely dwarfs what Japan has.

Go look up the size of Chinese high speed rail system and compare to Japan.

[–] IttihadChe@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 months ago (2 children)

By what metric?

China has the world's largest HSR network at 45,000KM, 15x that of Japan's 3,000KM network.

Chinas fastest regular use line is 350KM/h. Japan's is 320KM/h.

(AFAIK) China is the only country with an operational maglev line (in Shanghai). A 30KM line at 430KM/h. While Japan's Maglev is still under construction.

So what are the metrics that Japan's rail system cooks China?

They're also way bigger than Japan.

Where does Japan sit on the political spectrum? (Between left and right)

Is Japan communist?
