The speed of China's development is truly beyond imagination.

Yep, even though we're just into 2020 now, this map is already outdated. The speed of their development is staggering.

是啊，即使我们现在才刚进入2020年，但这张地图已经过时了。他们的发展速度相当惊人。

Most dictatorships are notoriously corrupt and inefficient.
But it is extremely effective if used properly - clearly the Chinese are using it properly.

大多数独裁统治都是出了名的腐败和低效。
但如果能很好运用，它是非常有效的——显然，中国人很好运用了。

They do all that in 10 years but here in Seattle it's gonna take that long or longer to extend the light rail system 20 miles north. Ridiculous.

他们在10年内就完成所有这些工作，但是在西雅图，将轻轨系统向北延伸20英里，需要花费很长或者更长的时间。 太荒谬了。

When the US does it it’s cool, but other countries are just authoritarian dictatorships. FReeDoM!

This goes into detail on the land compensation rates in China. Maybe they were more harsh to get the rails done quickly, but they do give decent compensation.

Huh, interesting. I travelled across China in 2007, lots of overnight trains were involved. I wonder how long those journeys would take now.

挺有意思的。我在2007年在中国旅行过，有很多通宵列车。我想知道现在这些旅程要花多长时间。

Few mates and I took a high speed train from Beijing to Zhengzhou and a slow train back. High speed train was roughly two and a half hours, slow train was around 8ish.

我和几个朋友乘高铁从北京到郑州，再乘慢车回来。高速列车大约两个半小时，慢速列车大约八个小时。

Costs which is not the issue. They can't build even one mile.
American Congress is like a house with endless bickering couple who can't get a divorce, so they abuse each other, don't fix the leaking roof, screaming at each other in front of the children watching, don't take out the stinking trash. .. etc etc
They have no time for anything outside the House, you’ll notice that infrastructure development doesn't figure, in their speeches.

成本并不是问题所在。他们甚至连一英里都建不起来。这也不是什么技术问题。
美国国会就像一座房子，里面住着一对不停争吵而又不能离婚的夫妇，所以他们互相谩骂，不修理漏水的屋顶，在孩子们看着的时候互相嘶吼，不倒垃圾..等等。
他们没有时间在这座房子外面做任何事情，你会注意到在他们的演讲中，基础设施的发展一点都不重要。

_NoHype
no one cares about the rest of the world

没有人关心世界的其他部分

The government is paying for it and because the country is massive and high speed trains are good for a number of things:
* getting people to places they need to be as quickly as possible.
* showing off the technology.
* learning how to build them.
* advancing their own technological expertise as they continue to build better, faster, and smoother trains and associated systems.
* offering trains for sale.
* offering consultancy services for companies and country who may seek their expertise in the development of high speed trains and track.
* building complete rail transport systems.
It seems no other nation on Earth can do what China does when it comes to trains or roads it would seem.

政府为此买单，因为这个国家规模庞大，建造高铁有很多好处：
* 让人们尽快到达想去的地方。
* 炫耀科技。
* 学习如何建造。
* 提升本身的科技专长，继续建造更好、更快、更平稳的列车及相关系统。
* 出售火车。
* 为有意发展高速列车以及铁路的公司及国家提供顾问服务。
* 建造完整的铁路运输系统。
似乎世界上没有任何一个国家可以像中国一样，在火车和道路方面做得如此出色。

People said the same thing about the Soviet Union prior to the 1980s. A bunch of guys sitting in the capital dictating what gets produced is not an effective way to run an economy.

人们对上世纪80年代之前的苏联也是这么说的。 一群人坐在首都指挥生产，并不是管理经济的有效方式。

Oswald_Bates
No one with any knowledge ever said anything like that about the Soviet Union in the 60’s, 70’s or 80’s. Aside from their competency in weapons manufacturing, their products were widely acknowledged to be rubbish. Further, their R&D was non-existent outside of weapons. Further, the Soviet citizens were VERY different in temperament than the Chinese - as was their level of nationalist fervor. The Soviet Union was very well known to be a disaster internally for decades prior to its breakup. The only people who would ever claim otherwise would be delusional far left Russophiles.
Chinese are very very patriotic and they mean it
I know many people who travel to China for work regularly - their infrastructure in urban areas FAR outstrips ours in quality and reliability. A bunch of guys sitting in the capital can ABSOLUTELY run an economy more effectively when they have the industrial capacity and technical expertise they do - combined with an entire world that not only wants to, but MUST purchase their products.
I’m sorry but you are very wrong.

没有一个有知识的人曾经那样说过关于60、70或80年代苏联。 除了在武器制造方面的能力，他们的产品被普遍认为是垃圾。 除了武器之外，他们的研发并不存在。 此外，苏联公民的性格与中国人非常不同——他们的民族主义狂热程度也是如此。众所周知，在苏联解体之前的几十年里，苏联内部一直是灾难。唯一能否认这一点的人，只能是妄想的极左俄罗斯人。
中国人非常爱国，他们是认真的。
我认识许多经常到中国工作的人，他们城市地区的基础设施在质量和可靠性方面都超过了我们。一群坐在首都的家伙绝对可以更有效地运行一个经济体，当他们有工业能力和技术专长时，再加上整个世界不仅想要，而且必须要购买他们的产品。
不好意思，你错了。

Hasn't it turned out pretty damn well for them though? I don't know much about China's overall economic status, but it seems like they're doing pretty well overall.

Caught the train from Zhuhai to Guangzhou and then to Shenzhen.
The train was fast, topping 300km. Everything was new and clean.
The only problem was buying tickets as a non-Chinese speaking person. Only one or two lines for English speaking in a room with 15 or so queues. Took an hour to get to the head of the queue. English was poor so much confusion as to the time of the journey.
Locals could buy using a ticket vending machine so not sure why so many were lined up. No English option that I saw on the ticket machine.
Took longer to buy the ticket than the journey. But the train was impressive.

坐火车从珠海到广州，然后再到深圳。
火车速度很快，最高可达300公里，一切都是崭新干净的。
唯一的问题是作为一个不会说中文的人买票的时候。在一个有大约15个人排队的房间里，只有一两条英语线。花了一个小时才排到队伍的最前面。英语很差，旅途的时间也很混乱。
当地人可以用自动售票机买票，但不知道为什么会有这么多人排队。我没有在售票机上看到英语选项。
虽然买票花的时间比旅行的时间长，但是火车还是给人留下了深刻的印象。

The cost to build a high speed railway is much cheaper in China. This is the fact. But it is not the main reason China can do it so fast. The political will is the key. China planed and discussed the high speed railway since 1990's but until 2005 they finished upgrade the legacy railway and started building full scale HSR network. When China decided to do something they will do and mostly on schedule. Actually because of the 2008 financial crisis and economy slow down in China, the plan is enlarged. They planned to build 20k kms for 2020 but the actual number is 35k kms in the end of 2019.
America doesn't have the political will to do this. They are controlled by car and oil lobbies. Cost is only one fact. UK's HS2 is much more expensive but they are building it although UK is also not behind other countries.

在中国修建高速铁路的成本要低得多。 这是事实。但这并不是中国能够如此迅速发展高速铁路的主要原因。 政治意愿是关键。 中国从上世纪90年代就开始规划和讨论高速铁路，但直到2005年，他们才完成了旧铁路的升级，并开始建设全面的高铁网络。 当中国决定做一些他们会做的事情的时候，大部分都是按计划进行的。 实际上，由于2008年的金融危机和中国经济的放缓，该计划被扩大了。 他们计划在2020年建造2万公里的高铁网络，但到2019年底，实际长度是3.5万公里。
美国并没有这样做的政治意愿。他们由汽车和石油游说团体控制。成本只是其中一个事实。英国的HS2要贵得多，但它们正在建设，尽管英国也没有落后于其它国家。

You should see the Shanghai Train Station! It's amazing and yet scary. Massive signs, people lined up everywhere to buy tickets and it always has this feeling like you must hurry!
The cheapest class means you will probably stand. Some people stand for hours!
The business class seats are amazing, like airplane 1st class comfort. Well worth it for a longer trip

你应该去看看上海火车站！这很神奇，但也很吓人。大量的标志牌，人们到处排着队买票，总是有这样的感觉，你必须要赶快！
最便宜的票意味着你可能要站着。有些人站好几个小时！
商务舱的座位很惊人，就像飞机一等舱一样舒适。 对于一次长途旅行来说，这是值得的

Roger Williams
The Chinese not only loves big, enormously expensive infrastructure projects, it loves to build them even when there’s no actual demand for some of it.
There is nothing so complex about building high speed trains that somehow baffles Americans. Labor is expensive here, but the US government is perfectly capable of throwing astounding sums of money at projects if it really wants to, as well as any nation in the world.
Even California doesn’t have a population density that can justify the economics of high speed rail. That didn’t stop them from spending a fortune on it anyway, but that’s another story.

中国不仅热爱耗资巨大的大型基础设施项目，甚至一些项目没有实际需求，也热衷于建设这些项目。
建造高速列车并没有什么复杂的事情，这让美国人莫名其妙感到困惑。美国的劳动力很昂贵，但是美国政府完全有能力在项目上投入惊人的资金，如果它真的想这么做的话，就像世界上任何一个国家一样。
甚至加州的人口密度也不足以证明高速铁路的经济效益。这并没有阻止他们在这上面花一大笔钱，但那又是另外一回事了。

Dont they have a real problem with their quality control? Like trains falling off of poorly made bridges?

难道他们在质量控制上没有问题吗？ 就像火车从粗制滥造的桥上掉下来？

ACatWithAThumb
Not really.
There was 1 accident back in 2011 when they just started out, but there hasn't been a single accident since.
That's a pretty good track record, considering it's the longest high speed rail system in the world.

也不见得。
早在2011年他们刚开始运营的时候就发生过一次事故，但是从那以后，再也没有发生过一次事故。
考虑到它是世界上最长的高速铁路系统，这是一个相当不错的记录。

beeriseverything
Trains falling off? What kind of world are you living in? It was just one accident long time ago, and had nothing to do with the bridge.
I took their high speed trains multiple times and the ride is so smooth. From Beijing to Nanjing it only takes 4 hrs (1200km).

火车掉下来？ 你生活在一个怎样的世界？ 这只是很久以前的一次事故，与大桥无关。
我多次乘坐他们的高速列车，旅途非常平稳。 从北京到南京只需要4小时(1200公里)。

BrowncoatOfArms

745 mile train ride in 4 hours? For $65? That is incredible

745英里的火车旅程坐4小时？只花65美元？太不可思议了。

beeriseverything
Yes that's incredible. There are only 4 or 5 stops and each stop is only ~2 minutes so you have to be really quick getting in and out.
It's also super smooth. YouTube has lots of videos showing people do coin stand test while the train is moving.

是的，是很不可思议。只有4或5站，每站只有2分钟，所以你必须非常快速地进出。
这些火车也非常平稳。 油管上有很多视频，关于人们在火车行驶时做的硬币试验。

China has one thing that many other countries lack: the political will.
That allows China to move quickly, on top of their emphasis of improving infrastructure technology (mostly from technology transfer in Japan and improvements from acquisitions) - this makes the development go at light speed, and China now has the most high speed rail in the world.
Why do other countries lack the political will? High-speed rail lines aren’t as profitable as other means of transport and you need to relocate people. However, when you consider the benefits, it makes for a solid social return on investment:
Slightly faster average transportation time than airplane. (you have to factor in airplane waiting time, especially with most routes being military controlled airspace, airplanes aren’t always on time). The Hong Kong to Beijing high speed railway has rides that takes about 8 hours. This is roughly equivalent to the distance between Dallas to DC.
Lower transportation costs to citizens. It’s much cheaper than airplanes on a per person basis.
Social benefits - lower carbon emissions, higher worker productivity, reduced casualties from car accidents
Political stability. The Xinjiang railway in particular was targeted so that Han ethnic group would migrate and outnumber the domestic Uyghurs majority. The Beijing government said it was to promote “ethnic unity”. Remember Xinjiang geographically is important as a logistical hub, even though the Xinjiang railway is unlikely to break even on its own.

中国有一样许多其他国家都缺乏的东西：政治意愿。
这使得中国在强调改善基础设施技术（主要来自日本的技术转让和技术收购）的基础上，能够迅速采取行动，这使得发展以光速进行，中国现在拥有世界上最长的高速铁路网。
为什么其他国家缺乏政治意愿？高速铁路不像其他交通工具那样有利可图，你需要重新安置人们。然而，当你考虑到这些好处的时候，它会带来稳定的社会投资回报：
* 平均运输时间比飞机略快。 (你必须考虑到飞机的等待时间，特别是大多数航线都是军事管制空域，飞机并不总是准时)。 搭乘香港到北京的高速铁路大约需要八小时。这大致相当于达拉斯到华盛顿的距离。
* 降低市民的交通成本。就人均而言，这比飞机便宜多了。
* 社会效益。减少碳排放，提高工人的生产力，减少车祸伤亡。

China’s public infrastructure is overtaking USA’s public infrastructure like a Maglev train overtaking an Amtrak train. The Chinese have an incredible work ethic. Until about a decade ago, the world underestimated China.
A century ago, the USA had some of the best infrastructure in the world. Like China today, the USA used to have a rail system and a streetcar system that was the envy of the world. It was efficient as people lived close to businesses. In the Western USA, numerous migrants from China were building railways and roads. Their performance was so quick and efficient and they were easily outpacing the Europeans as better workers. This created some racial tension and discrimination with Chinese immigrants in the USA.
In China today, high-speed rail costs are less than half of that in the US with costs averaging between $15–21 million per kilometer. Why is it cheaper in China than the US? Mostly because of the tariffs and politics. Thanks to automation and better technology, manufacturing and production costs should be lower. Unfortunately, automobile and oil corporations have heavily interfered with the politics.

中国的公共基础设施正在超越美国的公共基础设施，就像磁悬浮列车超越美铁列车一样。中国人有着令人难以置信的职业道德。 直到大约10年前，世界还低估了中国。
一个世纪以前，美国拥有世界上最好的基础设施。就像今天的中国一样，美国曾经拥有一个令世界羡慕的铁路系统和有轨电车系统。 因为人们住得离公司很近，所以它很有效率。 在那时的美国西部，许多来自中国的移民修建铁路和公路，他们的表现非常迅速和有效率，他们很容易就超过欧洲人，成为了更优秀的工人。这造成了对美国华裔移民的种族紧张和歧视。
在今天的中国，高铁成本还不到美国的一半，平均每公里成本在1500万至2100万美元之间。 为什么中国的造价比美国更便宜？主要是因为美国的关税和政治。由于自动化和更好的技术，制造和生产成本应该要更低，但不幸的是，汽车和石油公司对政治严重的干扰。

The last time the US complete its tracks, they use Chinese workers because they found out that the Chinese workers have great endurances and less rebellious than the other races. That is how the US railroads are completed.
Similarly, the British also uses Chinese workers to rebuild their bases after each German attacks because Chinese workers are the most reliable.
It is not about labor but some races just perform better.

上一次美国建成它的铁路的时候，他们使用中国工人，因为他们发现，相比其他种族，中国工人有很大的耐劳力和较少的叛逆性。美国铁路就是这样建成的。
同样，每次被德国袭击之后，英国也会利用中国工人来重建基地，因为中国工人是最可靠的。

One day the west (read USA) will stop and think about how China has made massive improvements in everything, end result, massive numbers of Chinese now have a quite good quality of life.
People try to throw all sorts of stones at Mr. Xi (warmonger / getting ready to start war with the US, etc.). The reality is that he has achieved wonders for China in many fields and he is loved by the people, and his aim is to reduce poverty to close to zero, incluse for all Chinese. And he is always focused on quality.
I’ve met him and worked with him (I’m from the west) 3 times when he was a more junior official, Highly competent, good listener, smart, clever, good conceptual thinker, highly respectful to everybody. He’s a nice man.
The Chinese were always good engineers and have become even better, they are also good at planning and organizing, and they have a long-term big picture approach to economics and infrastructure development.
It made me laugh a few months ago a US lady asked a question ‘Can you buy canned foods in China?’ (she was afraid to eat any fresh food because she was convinced she would die), and she also asked ‘can you nowadays buy can openers in China?’ Such arrogance and ignorance.

总有一天，西方(也就是美国)会停下来想想中国是如何在一切方面取得巨大进步的，最终的结论是，大量的中国人现在拥有相当高的生活质量。
人们试图对中国领导人贴各种各样的标签（战争贩子或者准备与美国开战，等等）。然而现实是，他在许多领域为中国创造了奇迹，他深受人们的喜爱，他的目标是将贫困降低到接近零，包括所有中国人。他总是关注质量。
我见过他，和他一起工作过三次（我来自西方），那时他还是一个级别更低的官员，非常能干，善于倾听，聪明，灵活，善于概念思考，对每个人都非常尊重。他是个很好的人。
中国人一直是优秀的工程师，他们甚至还在变得更优秀，他们也擅长规划和组织，他们对经济和基础设施发展有着长期的宏观视角。
几个月前，一位美国女士问了我一个问题：你能在中国买到罐头食品吗？（她不敢吃任何新鲜的食物，因为她确信自己会因此死掉），她还问“你现在能在中国买到开罐器吗？”，如此的傲慢和无知。
