re: #118 wheat-dogg
It’s an easy read, but well documented. His coverage of China’s high speed rail is a little out of date, because the system has expanded so rapidly, and I’d quibble over some of his details. But, China has effectively built a rapid transit system for its military, should they ever need to commandeer the trains for troop movement.
So, kind of like the US interstate system in the Eisenhower administration.
