I support the project for transportation is the major factor when a country is developing. There is an example in USA, a almost completed highway network to bond all the states together when air travel is not popular. Imagine one day, if you need to finish a project about shanghai economy, you can go to shanghai library in the morning & back at night. don't be short sight. HK can afford the price & if it is not building will cost more in the future unless you want HK is a isolated place in China.
Moreover, 高鐵 is unable to earn money very likely. Then, the government will have to inject a lot of money to sustain 高鐵 service. In other words, taxpayers will subsidize the 高鐵 passengers.
Due to the short distance between 高鐵 stations, 高鐵 will not be able to run at its maximum speed but slightly faster than the current MTR speed.
HK will be isolated?? How do the mainlanders come to HK now?

You still cannot grasp the value of the highspeed railway. It is not as simple as just looking at whether the railway can generate an operating profit. Governments don't usually make money from building public infrastructures which are necessary for generating economic activities.
Using your logic, the Skytrain should be discontinued, since it is losing money.

As a libertarian, I agree with privatization of trankslink. Government projects are always uneconomical in the long run.
