They are already doing that in China. Building schools, hospitals, and roads does not mean they should not build more railways which are now congested as there are so much passenger and freight traffic.
There are hundreds of millions of people who use these highspeed railways and also subway in China. These public transportation are aimed at reducing the reliance on cars and highways.
The Chinese highspeed railway system is putting the Americans to shame, hahaha.

In the US, this is fine since the top 5% of earners contribute 75% of taxes, so it makes sense for them to receive more benefits than those who never pay taxes in their lives.

Unfortunately this is not quite true.  We have way too many leechers.

You moron, the rich Chinese drive their own BMWs.
The highspeed railway is a long term multi-decade plan for the hundreds of millions of people who can now avoid driving their cars. Just look at Japan and Europe, their highspeed railway is for the general people.

    yes but they hv a higher earning on average?
its good that they are building this and building that..but does it really benefit the real general public that only earn 1k a month...you can say that these trains are not for those workers...so then what's the point to build them if only the rich can afford them
