wow, hahaha, 20-40% of China's population is already hundreds of millions of people. Don't you realized that? Besides, the highspeed railway project is designed to serve the country for decades to come, during which the people will become even richer so more people can afford.
For those people who cannot afford they can still use the older trains. This highspeed train project will take decades to build and it will serve the country for decades more. Highspeed trains are reducing air pollution and the reliance on cars.

Just look at Japan, they built their highspeed railway decades ago, when their income in Japan was still very low. The highspeed railway had positive impact on Japan's economy. The Koreans are also expanding their highspeed railway.
China has also signed agreements with Argentina to build their highspeed railway. Therefore, money can be made by selling railway technology to other countries.

You keep on claiming that there is no demand and only 20-40% of the people use it.
But if 30% of the people in China use highspeed train, that is already 400 million people. This number will increase over the next few decades as the highspeed railway project is designed to serve for decades.
Some people will use highspeed railway, some will drive themselves, some will take the plane and some will take the bus. Why can't you understand this?
Does everyone here take the skytrain?
