so for decades chinese people were restricted from moving which built up pressure as other industrializing countries always urbanize and the forces existed in china too they were just held back. when these restrictions were lifted and mass urbanization took place, the chinese government was in a good position to dictate the terms on which cities would densify and build out because no matter what they chose, there would be strong demand for it coupled with minimal local resistance.

the story on why we look like clowns when it comes to rail is complicated but the short version is rail was the absolute undisputed king of transport in the late 19th and early 20th century, so when automobiles came out, the backlash against rail tycoons and railroad power was like pouring rocket fuel on the already exploding demand for personal transport, it was decades before popular consensus came to see auto interests as the establishment and by then there was a huge inertia to overcome if anyone wanted to go back to trains, not to mention the unspoken cultural baggage where people instinctively felt that trains are unfree (similar to the weird unstated cultural baggage around gold and silver and fiat money which is actually a manufactured narrative dating from the 19th c. that most americans think is natural)

Dumbest idea ever. The overall productivity gain from not having a person drive the train is negligible considering the average ridership of a metro train is well over a hundred and having transportation is well worth 1% of that.
Also they often don't work leading to unnecessary delays.

Chinese people are STILL restricted from internal movement by The Party. There are also domestic checkpoints, exit visas (yes they need permission to leave), all the same shit commie police states pull.

What's more, the "family registration" system forever ties you to some "home region" and you can only leave to work as a laborer, hence the massive amount of travel during their holidays.

They don't have the bureaucracy of land acquisition and tender bidding that you get in the West. They can just drop the lines and stations down where they want, rather than spending decades wrangling landowners and NIMBYs until they come to a solution that's obviously sub-optimal but keeps them all happy.

Debt. Lots of debt. They built a lot of stupidly big and expensive infrastructure with excessive debt on the basis that if their growth continued at the pace it was going, the debt would never be a problem. Of course, the slight problem with that plan is that there was no guarantee of continued high growth.

Going to be interesting over the next few decades watching how China copes with the burden of all the shit they've built over the last 20 years. There's going to be some difficult decisions being made about where to allocate continued funding, what to shut down and demolish, and what to continue running on an inadequate budget while trying to avoid becoming a new Liveleak upload.

I'm not sure I'd trust Chinese mass transit.

because they are obsessed with their image, they run their trains at a loss because for some reason they think having trains that look cool and a "high speed railway" will trick people into thinking china isn't a shithole
a really surprising amount of their propaganda paid shill talking points are surrounding trains

obviously they cut corners like they do with everything, constant horrific accidents that don't make it into mainstream news, but if you look a bit harder you will find footage/pictures of hundreds and hundreds of people dying in train accidents constantly
they try pretty hard to cover it up, including burying train carriages with injured people still alive inside them, sealing up completely flooded subway tunnels to hide drowned bodies after they still rain the subway during intense flooding

These systems create economic opportunities that pay off the fact they run at a loss.

The flooding was historic 30 year floods in an underdeveloped city in one of the poorest provinces, and the "sealing" is bullshit. Given how historic and torrential the floods were the fact only around 100 people died shows you how well things are run even in the backwaters of China like Henan.

Chinese metro is basically an investment vehicle for the city, which is why they are often large, radiates well into the countryside and have stations in the middle of nowhere. Another reason why is that china railways have a monopoly on the lines and the cities cannot interfere or run trains on the existing line within their city. Since China railways are only interested in Long distance and High-speed services. Commuter service is basically impossible, so they might as well build a metro line. All of these works since for the last few decades the chinese real estate market was booming, so it made it easy for them to keep expanding the system as development were more than happy to catch up.
But they do have a problem since they do have a tendency on bypassing places people actually live and building primarily in places with alot of available land. It worked before since development would catch up and people would eventually move into the new developments, kinda reminiscent of the whole urban flight situation in the US. But this system only works when the real estate market is growing, which isn't now.

In fact, they didn't even cover up the ZPMC logo for much of the ceremony.

3. One-party totalitarian commie government with no obligation to its citizens and unconstrained by laws can do whatever it wants to show off an image to the rest of the world.
4. Apart from that, there's massive demand for high-density transit in China because it's so densely populated. A comparison with India makes more sense than the US in this regard. (India has lots of passenger rail, it's just filthy and decrepit)

>>2034054
>>2034053
Yes, in fact, land is typically harder and more costly for the government to acquire under capitalist governments. More importantly, a government seizing land is objectively not aligned with capitalist principles, and that's all there is to it. But capitalism never exists in a vacuum and unlike communism never pretends otherwise.

Capitalism is not an all-encompassing utopian ideology that requires a whole bunch of impossible conditions to be met before you can validate any of its retarded claims. Capitalism is merely a system emphasizing wealth generation through private ownership, free market pressures and individual incentives. That's it. Any government can support capitalism to a greater or lesser degree by guaranteeing individual property rights and enforcing free and fair trade as much as possible, balanced against principles derived from other sources (religion, culture, nationalism, socio-political systems and theories of government). It's accepted that wealth generation isn't everything and maintaining any free and fair system is a never-ending struggle against corruption and subversion. When problems appear in a liberal-capitalist system, you use free speech to discuss the problems and come up with solutions balancing free trade against the relevant greater principle. This is inherently difficult, but worthwhile to attempt.

>>2044801
Based on that video, China definitely has totalitarian characteristics that go beyond merely authoritarian.

>>2035107
That's what they'd like for you to believe.
In reality they are still ideologically communist, though blended with some Chinese nationalism. This makes sense when you realize that communism isn't and never was a coherent economic system, but rather a Utopian ideology meant to unite people behind a foolishly optimistic vision of the future. It is a very effective way to trick retards into giving you political power for nothing.
Whether you believe that Xi is using communist ideology cynically to maintain political power, or a true believer, the result is the same.

The Chinese economic policy is primarily "neo-Mercantile." Internally, they have a form of heavily-restricted capitalism while their overall strategy is to use manufacturing and exports to drain the United States of its wealth and power in order to replace it. They intentionally suppress the wages of their domestic workers to achieve this goal.

You're the same dumbasses who claim China runs organ harvesting camps yet you are now saying they would bury precious living organs in landfill without harvesting them lmao retard.

In addition to the damaged train carriages itself being worth money for scrap.

If you want to make up lies make it believable.

Say they harvested the organs and then melted everything for scrap.

>spectre of one child policy

Population control was forced on entire East Asia by the US, dumbass, the US forced Taiwan and South Korea to sterilise and abort their own people in the 1950s and 1960s.

Taiwan and South Korea are near population collapse because of the US

They did that with Japan and South Korea and Taiwan in the 1950s-1970s.

The US forced Taiwan, South Korea and Japan to implement mass forced population control and sterilisations in the 1950s-1970s including forced sterilisations and abortion.

South Korean men got vasectomies to get exempted from military conscription

Taiwan and South Korea have lower TFR than China.

Japan has below replacement TFR.

USAID was directly involved in sterilising Indians under Indira Gandhi and they sterilised South Koreans, Taiwanese and Japanese.

The US even threatened India with throttling food aid off if USAID and Rockefeller foundation weren't allowed to snip Indian testicles.

Rockefeller foundation on their websites openly brag about their role in sterilising Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and India.

The one child policy was implemented after Rockefeller pressured China to follow South Korea, Japan and India's policies in exchange for lifting diplomatic relations and sanctions.

Japan relies on America for its military. US has bases in Japan.

km/h? What's that in normal?

add to that, that much of these billions are actually in the form of taking 20+ year old equipment and assigning the as-new value
Same with sometimes 30 year old munitions for which America was about to pay EXTRA for disposal and pay LES fkr shipment (but still put on the as-new manufactured pricetag on what has long been amortized)
these people are retarded assholes, they dont believe in much of what they say and just want to inflict and permit cruelty
they dont give a shit about Ukraine or even russia and most certainly dont gibe a shit about actual peace

China is well aware that their high tech parts of bigger cities are at most a trailer and they barely left 3rd world status fighting starvation. But that might be their biggest advantage, they still have goals.

>We've gotta talk about China
No we don't, they're an irrelevant shithole.

>How in the fuck are they pulling this off?
They're not. Remember all the soviet-era propaganda about great works they never made? Its just like that. Thirdie delusions to save face.

>These commies are making us look like clowns!
They're not.

>What is the reason for this?
You bought into shit that isn't true. As a general rule, everywhere outside of the West, barring perhaps Japan, is a shithole. Has always been a shithole, will stay a shithole. Ten thousand years after the last poster on this site has died and crumbled into dust, it will still be a blistering boil on the ass-end of humanity. No exceptions.

You can safely treat any information to the contrary as a lie, because it is a lie. China has not, isn't, and won't ever, build, invent, construct, create, or otherwise improve anything on this planet. Its all downhill, always has been.

China has like 50 metros but honestly? That seems like too little for a country of 1 billion people. Elevated metros are pretty cheap

>>2031662
Government spending. The Chinese rail system is a trillion dollars in the red. It does not make money, it is a publicity project.

Your pic is from Shenzhen which is noted for how atypical of China it is.
It has many elements of Hong Kong civilisation as well as old Cantonese culture and western technocratic innovation.

Other Chinese megacities have impressive metros too and there's high speed rail of course but Shenzhen is probably the most advanced in China (HK is superior though).

>any random stop won't have the space as shown
But they do. The doors and the trains are designed together.
No trains run on that line that aren't compatible with the doors and every station on the line is designed to be compatible with the trains.

>>2034067
>I'm not sure I'd trust Chinese mass transit.
It's really fine.
Quite good actually.
I lived in China for years and never heard of a single incident in a train station. Literally none.
Trains are barely even late.

japan that stole everything including the soicetal structure from china is long gone, nuked into oblivion, twice. when they were rebuilding it into the society they have today, china was even more fucked than they were, so they built something completely new, a society valuing stability, to a fault
and the china that japan stole everything from doesn't exist either, trampled by brits, then japs, then soviets, then mao. mao inadvertently built a society where tomorrow is never assured, and you have to climb as high as you can to have some gliding distance in case it all comes crashing down yet again, for everyone or for you personally, so it's still an extremely competitive society that kills its weak, walks past losers and worships the strong

what conclusive proof do you have that only 100 people died. You are basing this off accident statistics in the being moderately reliable for the last 80 years.

americans do mass transit (among other things) badly on purpose to "prove" that these things MUST be in the hands of private industry alone so that number go up

It's not just China, visit any East Asian country and you get utterly blackpilled. I was in Taiwan for a week last year. The smallest and shittiest in the region compared to China-Japan-Korea. The Taipei MRT(maglev subway) completely rapes NYC and London

Their only downside(not just Taipei but all other East Asian public transport I rode) is the crowds were insane but that's not a fault of the transportation systems themselves, there's just billions of people in all of them
