It seems you are confusing interest with love. Countries don't love America; they fear it or depend economically on it, that's not love. Also, the favorable view you are talking about is propaganda. Most Western countries' image of America comes from the movies, not real experience.

I don't want to go beyond this because it makes no sense. People != Country Most developing countries are politically or economically forced to be America’s allies; it’s not a preference. And since the beginning, I questioned your claim that countries hate China as implying they love America.

China has already built an electric dependent infrastructure. Their current high speed rail system operates at 220 mph. There are nearly 30,000 miles of track, most with a design speed of 240 mph. The latest Acela maxes out at 160 mph but only on 40 of a total of 450 miles of service.
aug 30, 2025, 5:57 am • 2 0 • view
Should add that Acela runs on the NEC, which already was used to higher speed passenger traffic since the days of the Pennsylvania RR 100 years ago. Virtually no level crossings and 100+ was common. We haven't had much since, just Brightline between FEC and Orlando Airport, and that's not true HSR.
aug 30, 2025, 2:18 pm • 0 0 • view
China’s advantage, which could also be the USA, is on the longer routes where replacing air travel becomes logical. France, where HSR flourishes, has banned flights under 2.5 hours in favour of rail. The reduction of environmental impact is significant.
aug 30, 2025, 2:40 pm • 0 0 • view
Similarly there isn’t much progress in the UK. We had a train that ran at 125 mph since 1979. But since then, improvements in speed have been slow. We do have some at 186 mph, and HS2 line will improve that.
aug 30, 2025, 2:37 pm • 1 0 • view
And 125mph I'd what Brightline runs at. And since it largely doesn't run on dedicated rail, it has a tendency to hit drivers and folks trespassing on the tracks. The US had gone really backwards in rail travel too. Look at Amtrak's network in the late 1970s, and look at it now.
