Unlike US who spend Trillions for war, China spend money on building transportation. If one nation wants to be big, they should think to enrich their people first rather than filling few people's pocket.. I'm from Indonesia btw

You guys really do a lot of work to make those videos. When Lee explained why China build those railways at a loss he nailed it. The trains are not for profit themselves, instead the railway system provide opportunities for surrounding areas and improve local economy growth. So the whole project is highly beneficial in the long run.
Your dad has nailed it at 6:30. The train network was not built for the short term profitability, but for the long term prosperity of a whole economy. Very well said!
The high-speed train is not just speed up the train, it accelerates the travel for tourism, the corporation cross cities and provinces, the products and personnel relocation across China, it speeds up the whole economy in China. It is like the blood vessel to keep Chinese economy alive and full of energy. That’s what government should do.
You finally found my favorite topic, trains! My whole family worked for the railway. My dad was the author of the first feasibility study for the Beijing-Shanghai high speed line back in the 1980s. He would have enjoyed your report very much. Thank you!
I am now living in Shenzhen, this October, the high speed rail will open to my parents' city, I will soon be able to visit my family with cheap ticket and very short time, I really appreciate what the government has done for us.
I am an economist and if we are doing a cost benefit analysis by considering China as a “company” instead of looking at the perspective only from the rail way company (which is appropriate here since the rail way system is public or state owned), then you will need to take into account of the benefit/value of the time saved by all Chinese who take the high speed rail way system along with other national strategic benefits/values such as a line to Xinjiang (close to the border). In that case you will see the benefit is way over the cost for the company (which is China). This is the economic justification for building this expensive system. You guys pointed out very well that in the west because the rail way system is completely private, they would only consider their revenue as their benefit instead of including all the benefit received by the passengers. Thus from the private company’s point of view their cost is way higher than the benefit. So it is not only because China is looking at the value of the long term but also due to the above reason.
it is the two sides of a coin, long term value(country as a people) and global benefits(country as a company)，you get them together in the middle. we can say i love a girl just because of herself no matter what she gives me, also we can say i love a girl because she can give me something.
@@SThrillz Run like a man or many man, a company or many company, or look like kinda anything? China do all things for all chinese by all chinese of all chinese, but a company in the real world most work for its profit not for its employee's happiness, from this point, look china as a company will lose the most real important logic under the surface: “that government of the people, by the people, for the people” , maybe its also very import all kinds of government in the world...
@Stanovich, you are 100% correct! Take healthcare for instance, the US’s healthcare costs nearly 2.5 times more than other nations from around the world but our healthcare is not as good as other developed countries. That is because the Republicans have privatized everything within their power to turn everything over to private companies. The problem with that is that private companies only think in terms of profits. For them to provide goods and services they want to charge people as much money as they can get away with. This makes the costs of everything in the US very expensive. We are then hampered by the fact that these companies not only want to charge as much as possible, but they want to minimize the costs of doing things as much as possible as well. So the costs are at maximum level and the service is at the bare minimum! A double whammy effect! Take the US prison system for example, since the Republicans have privatized prisons to private companies the abuses suffered by the prisoners have gone up because private companies have drastically cut the number of prison guards in their prisons. This allowed prisoners more opportunities to hurt each other and the guards have to do more and work harder and they are more likely to resort to violence themselves in order to control the prisoners. The quality of the food have gone down, if that is possible, and there are less programs to educate the prisoners so that they would have some sort of skills to use once they get back to society. Worst of all is the fact that many prisoners are ending up serving many more years in prison than ever before because the private prisons want to keep them in prison for as long as possible since more people in prison equates to more money that they make from the government who are paying them to watch over the prisoners. There are many stories of people who have gone into a private prison for minor drug charges and ended up serving many many years in prison because the private prisons were always looking for more charges to add onto their sentences so that they could keep them in prison for as long as possible. Many of the victims of the private prison system are children. They got tossed into private prisons for teenage behavioral problems or caught with marijuanna possession and the private prisons added on charges against them while they were serving their time in a juvenile detention center to keep them locked up for as long as possible so that they could maximize profits. Some of them were sentenced for 1-3 years to a private juvenile detention center and ended up serving 7-8 years, first in a juvenile detention center and later to an adult prison system once they have reached the age of 18. Private prisons have no incentives to let prisoners off their system. To them the longer a prisoner stays the more money they make! Every cell that is occupied by somebody is more profits to them! And this is the reason why turning over everything that is used to be owned and operated by the government to private companies (Like the Republicans are doing) doesn’t work! To private companies everything is about profits profits profits! But who wants to be a socialist like the Chinese, right?
I live in Tokyo, my Japanese colleague who go on business trip to Shanghai often said Chinese bullet train has definitely surpassed Shinkansen, being faster, more comfortable and stable. 😄
Shinkansen's real disadvantage is that it was the first high speed railway to be built, and it was originally designed to run 200kmh. This means the more they raise the speed to over 300kmh like in China, the harder the train to maintain stability. Also, Shinkansen mostly runs through mountains and coast lines with the risk of earthquakes (compared to China that has a vast plateau). Japan will struggle to build new bullet trains.
@@nuncprotuncohto7576 Contrary to what you said, chinese HSR lines have a high proportion on their route of viaducts or tunnels, and also mostly elevated. They have built so much of it that they became good, efficient and fast at it that they have the cheapest cost per mile of rail by a large margin. they got it down to a science.
My first high speed train trip in China was on the Beijing to Ningbo train, getting on in Jinan, Shandong, on my way to Zhoushan, thus only getting off in Ningbo. Approximately 1,000 kilometres and taking approximately 5 hours hours. I returned on the same line to Jinan 5 days later. Nowadays i frequent the Nanning to Guangzhou train, which can take anything from 3 to 4 hours, depending on number of stops. Then Guangzhou to Shenzhen in less then 30 minutes, for a short journey of about 100 kilometres.
@@RobertAmer Haha I feel you, traffic's been horrible. They built some subway in recent year but it was so far away from the central city that no one takes them. But I'm glad you liked it there otherwise.
Not only big cities, small cities in China now have high-speed train as well. It just makes life a lot easier. Transportation is the key to kill poverty.
Years ago, when I took the high speed train with my customers in Guangzhou , when we sat in the beautiful train station, my customers said Canada is a developing country, China is developed country. It’s just a joke , but it shows how good the train system in China is!
The high speed trains are awesome! Back in 2005 I went from Nanning to Kunming by overnight sleeper train as it took about 12 hours did it again in 2019 only took 4 hours and so smooth and comfortable.👍👍👍
Thank you for speaking out for China. There are so many Americans still think a lot of these conspiracies. Ppl with high education or low education they think the same way. i am not saying everyone does but large portion of the ppl think that way. I am glade that you guys doing it in English version to open ppl's eye. I dont expect to see the change in near terms but it will definitely have impact on a lot ppl in long period of time. Thank you for doing that and you guys are amazing!!!
I have lived in the US for over 50 years. I went back to China in 2001 and 2009 for short visits. Your videos of the new China open my eyes more and wider on my home country how well she does! Thanks buddy! Great job 👍👏
One thing worth mentioning is that as a RUclipsr anyone can nearly freely film in China, as long as it’s not bothering other or not in a sensitive area. But in the North America I’ve seen and heard multiple times people would say bad stuff in front of camera, or people sometimes don’t want foreigners speaking their own languages, that’s sad and unfair. I hope wherever they go, people can be inclusive, kind, and supportive. Peace ✌🏻
I love your channel. Thanks for bringing us the new and great things coming out of China. Oliver's spoken Mandarin is really improving. That is so nice to see that you are really trying to adapt to life in China and being a great ambassador.
Here's an example from Canada: Calgary, Canada. Started to plan the city's first ring road in the 1970s, now it's the year 2020, they haven't finished yet.
真诚的欢迎你们带着更多的人来到中国，来亲眼见一见这个美好的国家，而不是听资本家的抹黑。 另外，我住在烟台。 We sincerely welcome you to bring more people to China to see this wonderful country with your own eyes, instead of listening to capitalists' discredit. In addition, I live in Yantai.
The HS2 in the UK is said to take 40 years to build and cost billions of tax payers money. China offered to build it in less than 5 years and much cheaper as well, then some Tory member said we shouldn't be doing business with trannical regims and everyone agreed. So I don't think I'll ever see a high speed train in the UK anytime soon
Get on a faster train and you go faster. The US train is slowing down and behind the China One and even further away in the next 10 years. I am living in the UK for 20 years AND thought UK Politicians are cunning and always pragmatic but definitely not this time. but i think UK still BEAR A CHANCE to get off the wrong train and get on the right one before it was too late.
@@dharmapratama.i9487 I think the scale is very important to reduce the cost. In the world, only China is building high-speed railways and making high-speed train in such a scale no other can match. The scale and demand also increase the motivation for improving technologies. For any other countries, China's high-speed railway system is the best choice.
@@dharmapratama.i9487 Unfortunately, some countries have problems in land acquisition. I believe Indonesia had the same problem, too, delaying the project by two years at the least. Setting aside the cost, Malaysia can't even decide whether to build one, you know, because it couldn't come to terms with Singapore.
What tyrannical regime ? China helped dozens of countries in Africa out of wilderness from being robbed by Western colonial powers. What did Britain and the rest of the West did when they went to China 100 years ago ? They robbed and raped China bare. Push opium to all the chinese and stole Hong Kong and Macao from China.
One big advantage of high speed trains is that they never delay! Unlike the airplane are unlikely to be on-time lol. Plus you save more time commuting to the airport, while the train station is usually not that far from the urban area.
I am a college student in China and i am 21 yaer old this year，in order to open my eyes and learn more about Tourism management i am studying IELTS.I plan to go England in2022-9，I hope the British won't be against the Chinese at that time.Maybe i will work in England when i graduated.and i always watch your video in bilibili！Thank you for showing real China in video，it is cool！
I am a Chinese and lived in London for more than 10 years. I have to say most people I’ve met in UK are really nice, especially in London. The politicians in this country are terrible and getting worse but ordinary people are nice.
I have traveled in Italy and Spain. The two are considered “not so rich” in Western Europe, but they can provide wonderful high speed train service, at very affordable price. Rail service is more than technology, it’s about planning and management.
这两父子真可爱。还做了那么多的调查，解释清楚这件事情。我读中学时，我就从我同学那里知道了政府在建高铁线，磁悬浮火车，因为她爸爸是铁路工程师。这个工程不是一朝一夕建成的。是花了三, 四十年的时间, 从计划到建成。有时候，你们看到，突然在城市中间，有一个中央花园建成了，那也不是一天两天的事情，有可能是早在十年前就计划好了的。中国人从来都有个习惯，喜欢搞个三年计划，五年计划，十年计划之类的。其实看你们的节目，我们都感到了一股正能量。不是说中国就怎么怎么好了，没有缺点。缺点肯定是哪个国家都有的。中国也不例外，而且有可能还有很严重的问题，比如说贪污腐败的问题。但是作为中国人，从心底里并不会感到自卑。即使在新冠期间，被媒体影响，有点找不到IDENTITY的感觉，但看到NATHAN RICH的那个'It is ok to love China', 所以也释然了。Anyway, the love for China does not affect the love for my current country. I love both countries for sure.
Thank you Barrett for making the video, especially impressed by the deeper thinking and conversations. The facts so easily got ignored with or without intention by those people who do not want to listen. Thank you for bring them up.
Greetings from Taiwan! Lee and Oli. Whenever my wife and I had the chance to travel by the bullet train in China, we always took the business class. It worthed every penny. It's so inexpensive, so comfortable and so enjoyable. Business Class Lounge at the station is also provided. 😀 In Taiwan, travel by bullet train is expensive and not as nice comparing to that of China. 😐 We also travelled by Intercity in the UK. The experience was beyond comparison. It's noisy, it's wobbing, it's expensive, it's not punctual. But above all, you have to change somewhere (in Leeds if from London to Edinburgh) in the middle. Imagine you have two heavy suitcases and someone to take care of, and you have to rush to change platforms, it's a nightmare, not to mention the time loss in waiting.😶
The contrast with the UK cannot be starker! Thank you for sharing your view on this and Lee did a great job in rebuking the lies in a gentle but firm way. It just shows that without a deep pocket, a developing country would not even be able to afford 'stealing'.
Dad has very accurate understanding of how the railway brings benefits to the entire country. Let's say five of the cities have a revenue of 100 every year. Then the government builds a high speed railway connecting these five cities, which costs 500, and an extra 100 every year. The income of the train tickets is 10 every year, but the total revenue of these cities now rise from 100 to 1000. The government will then provide subsidies to the departments in charge of constructing and maintaining the railway from be revenue of the cities. In this way, everybody wins.
China has its own geography, harsh weather and demands compared to other countries. The technology has to change and evolve to suit the conditions and demands in China. Great video!!
The fact that you share is precisely correct, Chinese Gov took a huge amounts of money to bid tech transferring. And you can see there is a maglev train in Shanghai between Longyang railway station to PVG, which's built by Siemens and Chinese company for testing. Now we are all benefited by these further substantial train, a BIG thumbs up!
I would love to visit China, the Chinese I have worked with, both students and colleagues have been easy to get along with, work with and make good reliable friends with. They have always contributed to the social climate and have been respected because of their trustworthiness and work ethic. Thanks for your enlightening program! ♦️♦️♦️ PS. Looking forward to more such programs which provide real and true information which illustrates the good governance of China.
It's almost as if not everything needs to be profitable, sometimes building things that don't create profit but improve the quality of life for citizens is a worthwhile investment. Shocking.
@@nuncprotuncohto7576 In fact, Chinese government doesn’t lose money in the end because High Speed Rail greatly boosts economy which not only compensates the loss of profit in tickets prices but also allows the government to invest more in High Speed Rail development. The train ticket is cheap, so almost everyone can afford it, so Chinese people can enjoy the convenience and appreciate what the government has done for its people. Basically it is a virtuous circle.
They are not phasing out the older conventional rail lines. With less passenger trains on the old lines, more freight trains can run, improving the economy more. The high speed line to Xinjiang may never produce a profit, but the belt and road traffic to and from Europe via Xinjiang is now growing more and more on the conventional rail, making huge profits.
the development of high speed train in China has changed the life style for most Chinese people ,they go travel more often, which means the communicatios of culture between regions and regions are more often.People in different regions became more inclusive.Also the materials exchange helps producing.I think the group consciousness of Chinese people are not as bad as some western media make it out to be.Forgive my bad grammar.And thanks for your sharing😘🥰

I've travelled on the Fuxing train from Beijing to Shanghai (1st class of course) 2019. It was smooth and relaxing. I bought the train ticket in the UK and printed the ticket on my printer. No problems. And Yes, I've seen your video taking the business class train.
I’m Tianjinese and I’m really happy to see my home city to be in the spotlight. Sometimes I wonder why Tianjin the 5th biggest city in the world by population, receives so little spotlight internationally, except for that time in 1900 when European colonists set up concessions, and that time in 2015 when a chemical plant exploded. There’s so much more good to Tianjin that the world is blind to. If possible then I’d be really happy to see you do videos on Tianjin and sharing it with the world!
China can provide the best fast speed train services to her people with cheap fare which is superb....built by the gov not by private sector....30000km rail tracks connecting various cities around China......Great!!!
I started my foundation in 2013, and I have been in UK for 8years. the price of train tickets are climbing so much. It was 50pounds from Liverpool to London for open return, but now, it is twice. But the service is worse...

It is like the blood vessel to keep Chinese economy alive and full of energy. That’s what government should do.

I am now living in Shenzhen, this October, the high speed rail will open to my parents' city, I will soon be able to visit my family with cheap ticket and very short time, I really appreciate what the government has done for us.
看到国米老铁 哈哈哈
高铁最大的作用是拉近城市之间的距离，形成一个个生活圈，相互辐射，从而带来很多商业的可能。当然它也有很多非经济的考虑，让物流、人流变得更加快速。
就是缩小经济圈，让空间连成线
高铁太棒了！现在每个城市间人口流动速度不是一般的快，远不是飞机能比的，人流意味着钱流
I am an economist and if we are doing a cost benefit analysis by considering China as a “company” instead of looking at the perspective only from the rail way company (which is appropriate here since the rail way system is public or state owned), then you will need to take into account of the benefit/value of the time saved by all Chinese who take the high speed rail way system along with other national strategic benefits/values such as a line to Xinjiang (close to the border). In that case you will see the benefit is way over the cost for the company (which is China). This is the economic justification for building this expensive system. You guys pointed out very well that in the west because the rail way system is completely private, they would only consider their revenue as their benefit instead of including all the benefit received by the passengers. Thus from the private company’s point of view their cost is way higher than the benefit. So it is not only because China is looking at the value of the long term but also due to the above reason.
Thank you for your comment, you are absolutely correct.
it is the two sides of a coin, long term value(country as a people) and global benefits(country as a company)，you get them together in the middle.

@Stanovich, you are 100% correct! Take healthcare for instance, the US’s healthcare costs nearly 2.5 times more than other nations from around the world but our healthcare is not as good as other developed countries. That is because the Republicans have privatized everything within their power to turn everything over to private companies. The problem with that is that private companies only think in terms of profits.
For them to provide goods and services they want to charge people as much money as they can get away with. This makes the costs of everything in the US very expensive. We are then hampered by the fact that these companies not only want to charge as much as possible, but they want to minimize the costs of doing things as much as possible as well. So the costs are at maximum level and the service is at the bare minimum! A double whammy effect!
Take the US prison system for example, since the Republicans have privatized prisons to private companies the abuses suffered by the prisoners have gone up because private companies have drastically cut the number of prison guards in their prisons. This allowed prisoners more opportunities to hurt each other and the guards have to do more and work harder and they are more likely to resort to violence themselves in order to control the prisoners.
The quality of the food have gone down, if that is possible, and there are less programs to educate the prisoners so that they would have some sort of skills to use once they get back to society. Worst of all is the fact that many prisoners are ending up serving many more years in prison than ever before because the private prisons want to keep them in prison for as long as possible since more people in prison equates to more money that they make from the government who are paying them to watch over the prisoners.
There are many stories of people who have gone into a private prison for minor drug charges and ended up serving many many years in prison because the private prisons were always looking for more charges to add onto their sentences so that they could keep them in prison for as long as possible.
Many of the victims of the private prison system are children. They got tossed into private prisons for teenage behavioral problems or caught with marijuanna possession and the private prisons added on charges against them while they were serving their time in a juvenile detention center to keep them locked up for as long as possible so that they could maximize profits. Some of them were sentenced for 1-3 years to a private juvenile detention center and ended up serving 7-8 years, first in a juvenile detention center and later to an adult prison system once they have reached the age of 18.
Private prisons have no incentives to let prisoners off their system. To them the longer a prisoner stays the more money they make! Every cell that is occupied by somebody is more profits to them! And this is the reason why turning over everything that is used to be owned and operated by the government to private companies (Like the Republicans are doing) doesn’t work! To private companies everything is about profits profits profits! But who wants to be a socialist like the Chinese, right?
I live in Tokyo, my Japanese colleague who go on business trip to Shanghai often said Chinese bullet train has definitely surpassed Shinkansen, being faster, more comfortable and stable. 😄
Japan’s Shinkansen is also very good, the disadvantage is that the price is too high
And much much cheaper.
Shinkansen's real disadvantage is that it was the first high speed railway to be built, and it was originally designed to run 200kmh. This means the more they raise the speed to over 300kmh like in China, the harder the train to maintain stability. Also, Shinkansen mostly runs through mountains and coast lines with the risk of earthquakes (compared to China that has a vast plateau). Japan will struggle to build new bullet trains.
My Japanese friends said that too, but Most of westerners haven’t realized that
@@nuncprotuncohto7576 Contrary to what you said, chinese HSR lines have a high proportion on their route of viaducts or tunnels, and also mostly elevated.
They have built so much of it that they became good, efficient and fast at it that they have the cheapest cost per mile of rail by a large margin. they got it down to a science.
My first high speed train trip in China was on the Beijing to Ningbo train, getting on in Jinan, Shandong, on my way to Zhoushan, thus only getting off in Ningbo. Approximately 1,000 kilometres and taking approximately 5 hours hours. I returned on the same line to Jinan 5 days later. Nowadays i frequent the Nanning to Guangzhou train, which can take anything from 3 to 4 hours, depending on number of stops. Then Guangzhou to Shenzhen in less then 30 minutes, for a short journey of about 100 kilometres.
how much you like that

謝謝你們的公正！中國政府不仅把稅收營利都投入到基礎建設上，還不计成本扶助落後城市發展！2019年3月至6月，我回了深圳，去了云南旅遊，第一次尝試國內上网报團旅遊。以前我都在深圳，東莞當地旅行社報團，嫂子給意見說报貴的，我報了一個很多人都有推薦的超便宜的，我有點好奇它的真實性！約二百美金一個人，不記得6天5夜，还是5天4夜，當地五标星級酒店，包來回機票，全程包吃包住包玩！基本上最有特色的地方都去了，當地特色歺也吃了，我帶了老媽子一起去，拍了照片視頻給家人看，他們想不到住的那么好，吃的也好，玩的也好，基本除了買私人東西，不用花什麼錢，也沒有強制消費⋯⋯！當時導游告訴大家這是国家給了云南旅遊業支助！我們交的錢只夠买一程单程機票⋯！我當時沒在意，后來坐飞機回深圳，旁邊一個女人告訴我她去云南看朋友，只是單程机票已經1400人民币，原來導游沒騙我們，云南屬於政府扶貧区，国家為了扶持云南這個落后地區，真的是不計較成本，只為了讓當地人生活好起來，因為云南地區要保护原生态，只能發展旅遊。為了吸引多些人來，在當地消費，中國政府是做實事的，讓當地人脫貧，漸漸富裕起來！這是我的親身經歷，回來后我推薦朋友去，那里真的好美，我都想在那定居了，希望下次帶着老公孩子再去一次！說真的如果去美國报個团玩，坐個游輪等等，全程個人只給出的服務費也快要這個數了，在歐洲玩更貴，什麼都貴，坐游船兩千歐起，還參與性不強，這次從广州坐船去日本，自費平均一人5千人民币，不到1千歐，我是老哥買保險送的，船上好玩好吃，達人秀好看，比在外國游船開心多了！還有上海蘇杭那一線的旅遊，也是還想再去，那裡蘇州風景特優美，報個豪華团1千8人民幣，有一歺在明珠塔吃，還有晚上坐游船觀夜景，總之超值，還有西安，重庆，青島，等等，總之說旅遊，我最喜歡回国！各處風景名勝古跡各有特色，而且好多好吃的，超划算！😄

影片摘要: Barrett說英國至今建不出一條高鐵，當年英國鐵路私有化後就是一場災難，乘車票價高昂，以同樣距離的路程來說，英國普通鐵路的票價為中國高鐵的票價四五倍，且中國高鐵速度更快，更平穩，更舒適。
中國交通建設不是以短期經濟利益為考量，也許某些路線會是虧損的，但為了長遠帶動各區經濟發展或人民福利，政府依然願意投入這些建設。中國近年陸續把老式鐵路換為高鐵，目標為2035年達到7 萬公里，2021年初，中國的高鐵里程已達全世界的2/3，比許多其他國家加起來的都還長。2019年中國高鐵客運流量高達22億人次，全國14億人，人均每年接近2次的搭乘量。
2004年中國高鐵招標，德國西門子、法國阿爾斯通、龐巴達、日本川崎重工投標，西門子因為技術轉讓費太高未得標，其餘三家均得標。得標的公司同意當合作結束，就會把技術轉讓給相對應的中國公司，而且大部分的設備會在中國生產製造，這都是合約載明之事，中國也為此付出高額技術轉讓費。中國接手後大幅改進了這些技術，將原本每小時只能跑200公里的效能提升到300～350公里，而且還在不斷研發升級中，下一步的目標是每小時600公里。有心人士說中國高鐵技術是偷來的，這是不實指控。

The HS2 in the UK is said to take 40 years to build and cost billions of tax payers money. China offered to build it in less than 5 years and much cheaper as well, then some Tory member said we shouldn't be doing business with trannical regims and everyone agreed. So I don't think I'll ever see a high speed train in the UK anytime soon
Get on a faster train and you go faster. The US train is slowing down and behind the China One and even further away in the next 10 years. I am living in the UK for 20 years AND thought UK Politicians are cunning and always pragmatic but definitely not this time. but i think UK still BEAR A CHANCE to get off the wrong train and get on the right one before it was too late.
National interests should be always at first. However the chances are only preferable to the cleaver one.
@@dharmapratama.i9487 I think the scale is very important to reduce the cost. In the world, only China is building high-speed railways and making high-speed train in such a scale no other can match. The scale and demand also increase the motivation for improving technologies. For any other countries, China's high-speed railway system is the best choice.
@@dharmapratama.i9487 Unfortunately, some countries have problems in land acquisition. I believe Indonesia had the same problem, too, delaying the project by two years at the least. Setting aside the cost, Malaysia can't even decide whether to build one, you know, because it couldn't come to terms with Singapore.
What tyrannical regime ? China helped dozens of countries in Africa out of wilderness from being robbed by Western colonial powers. What did Britain and the rest of the West did when they went to China 100 years ago ? They robbed and raped China bare. Push opium to all the chinese and stole Hong Kong and Macao from China.
One big advantage of high speed trains is that they never delay! Unlike the airplane are unlikely to be on-time lol. Plus you save more time commuting to the airport, while the train station is usually not that far from the urban area.
So true

这两父子真可爱。还做了那么多的调查，解释清楚这件事情。我读中学时，我就从我同学那里知道了政府在建高铁线，磁悬浮火车，因为她爸爸是铁路工程师。这个工程不是一朝一夕建成的。是花了三, 四十年的时间, 从计划到建成。有时候，你们看到，突然在城市中间，有一个中央花园建成了，那也不是一天两天的事情，有可能是早在十年前就计划好了的。中国人从来都有个习惯，喜欢搞个三年计划，五年计划，十年计划之类的。其实看你们的节目，我们都感到了一股正能量。不是说中国就怎么怎么好了，没有缺点。缺点肯定是哪个国家都有的。中国也不例外，而且有可能还有很严重的问题，比如说贪污腐败的问题。但是作为中国人，从心底里并不会感到自卑。即使在新冠期间，被媒体影响，有点找不到IDENTITY的感觉，但看到NATHAN RICH的那个'It is ok to love China', 所以也释然了。Anyway, the love for China does not affect the love for my current country. I love both countries for sure.
贪污腐败每个国家都有这个问题。我感觉国内现在真的想做反腐，不过问题不是一天解决的。而所谓的法治国家比如美国不过是把贪污腐败合法化了而已，他们的说客lobbying，就是替利益集团说话在推动改变政策来满足自己的集团利益，整个系统就是这么运转的，所以现在整个变成富豪统治，社会阶级分化越发严重，财富差距越来越大。还有通过Epstein“被自杀”不了了之这件事就看出美国背后的政商势力光天化日之下杀个24小时被监视住的人多容易。。

Greetings from Taiwan! Lee and Oli.
Whenever my wife and I had the chance to travel by the bullet train in China, we always took the business class. It worthed every penny. It's so inexpensive, so comfortable and so enjoyable. Business Class Lounge at the station is also provided. 😀
In Taiwan, travel by bullet train is expensive and not as nice comparing to that of China. 😐
We also travelled by Intercity in the UK. The experience was beyond comparison. It's noisy, it's wobbing, it's expensive, it's not punctual. But above all, you have to change somewhere (in Leeds if from London to Edinburgh) in the middle. Imagine you have two heavy suitcases and someone to take care of, and you have to rush to change platforms, it's a nightmare, not to mention the time loss in waiting.😶
The contrast with the UK cannot be starker! Thank you for sharing your view on this and Lee did a great job in rebuking the lies in a gentle but firm way. It just shows that without a deep pocket, a developing country would not even be able to afford 'stealing'.
Dad has very accurate understanding of how the railway brings benefits to the entire country.
Let's say five of the cities have a revenue of 100 every year. Then the government builds a high speed railway connecting these five cities, which costs 500, and an extra 100 every year. The income of the train tickets is 10 every year, but the total revenue of these cities now rise from 100 to 1000. The government will then provide subsidies to the departments in charge of constructing and maintaining the railway from be revenue of the cities. In this way, everybody wins.
China has its own geography, harsh weather and demands compared to other countries. The technology has to change and evolve to suit the conditions and demands in China. Great video!!

China's transport system is losing money just by selling tickets.
But the economic benefits of convenient transportation are staggering.
It's almost as if not everything needs to be profitable, sometimes building things that don't create profit but improve the quality of life for citizens is a worthwhile investment. Shocking.
I'm not against improving the quality of life, but the point is that if they lose money, somebody has to pay for it in the future.
@@nuncprotuncohto7576 In fact, Chinese government doesn’t lose money in the end because High Speed Rail greatly boosts economy which not only compensates the loss of profit in tickets prices but also allows the government to invest more in High Speed Rail development. The train ticket is cheap, so almost everyone can afford it, so Chinese people can enjoy the convenience and appreciate what the government has done for its people. Basically it is a virtuous circle.
They are not phasing out the older conventional rail lines. With less passenger trains on the old lines, more freight trains can run, improving the economy more. The high speed line to Xinjiang may never produce a profit, but the belt and road traffic to and from Europe via Xinjiang is now growing more and more on the conventional rail, making huge profits.

Barrett支持你倆父子，你們很可愛很棒在中國很多地方都去過，你們倆分析🉐️非常合情合理正義．正語正能量我們永遠支持你倆,love.you❤️💕
Thank you, Barrett for letting me to see this train. I'm in HK. I tried the magnetic floating train in Shanghai many years ago. Thank you again !
I was surprised by the sudden ad, but it's great that one well-known Chinese Electronic equipment company found you and gave you the trust. good job. best wishes!
5 years later still haven't finished cross rail in London.
Yes, it will be a railway from Beijing to Washington DC. undersea.

Anker power bank is rarely sold in China, because the price is high, and it is basically exported. This is also a Chinese brand, and many people may not know
I use anker wireless charger =]
安克的设计非常好 但是我曾经有安克的充电头和充电线 都是没过多久就坏了 因此对这个品牌无感了
I appreciate you guys are making real videos showing us around China, rather than sitting in front of some so called green screen or whatever and complaining everything including Chinese government. Of course no single country in this world is perfect, but the haters like serpenza , all they can express themselves are complaining China to drag people's attention, I am so fed up with this type of video.
I like your channel because you guys are really showing something without biased view. Thumbs up for you.
很感谢有你们这样的外国友人作这样的视频，让更多的外国人更正面的全面的了解现在的中国，你们去正确的解示当代的中国应该会更加有说服力，毕竟外国媒体歪曲中国的报道太多了。谢谢！
I've travelled on the Fuxing train from Beijing to Shanghai (1st class of course) 2019. It was smooth and relaxing. I bought the train ticket in the UK and printed the ticket on my printer. No problems. And Yes, I've seen your video taking the business class train.
Good man Steve!
In Hainan Province, it is ticketless, even for foreigners.
I’m a railway enthusiast from Beijing who lives in California, you were in a CR400AF EMU.
I’m Tianjinese and I’m really happy to see my home city to be in the spotlight. Sometimes I wonder why Tianjin the 5th biggest city in the world by population, receives so little spotlight internationally, except for that time in 1900 when European colonists set up concessions, and that time in 2015 when a chemical plant exploded. There’s so much more good to Tianjin that the world is blind to. If possible then I’d be really happy to see you do videos on Tianjin and sharing it with the world!
好好说中文

China can provide the best fast speed train services to her people with cheap fare which is superb....built by the gov not by private sector....30000km rail tracks connecting various cities around China......Great!!!
I started my foundation in 2013, and I have been in UK for 8years. the price of train tickets are climbing so much. It was 50pounds from Liverpool to London for open return, but now, it is twice. But the service is worse...
人省得时间越多，出行的成本越低，就能令人更想到处走走，把钱带到那里。
想发展先修路。
飞机都是在离市中心很远 郊区 其实去机场的时间都要算进行程 但是高铁不然解除了不短不远旅程 也省时间
謝謝客觀的介紹中國的努力成果
喜欢❤️Barreet 的视频！向英语世界介绍真正中国！👍🏻
Last minute for 200 k subscribers, congratulations!
