What cities?
Pick any city in the Midwest and compare to any proportionally sized city in China. Like just about. Infrastructure is crumbling everywhere in this country while China has built more high speed rail than every other nation on the planet combined.
The priorities speak volumes.
Whenever i see some documentaries about china, japan or south korea, i'm actually blown away. They are in a big city that is recognizable, and then they sit in a train for an hour and land in a city that i haven't heard of ever, that is somehow 3x bigger. I really wanna visit some day, but maybe i'd just be overwhelmed
Literally just making shit up.
Anything's possible when you make shit up kiddo
You got any sources for this or are you just racist?
China has more high speed rail than every nation on the planet combined. They have a much easier time traveling within their own country for very little money than say the US. Or do you think the rail is all just there for show?
Case in point here my friend - https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3327402/chinas-super-golden-week-forecast-spark-travel-boom-home-and-abroad
No I mean in the photos
Houston, Los Angeles and some random yet all the same suburb in the US
Lol dipshit have you ever been to China? The small cities they consider sleepy bergs have ONLY 1 million lol. That's ten times the equivalent city in the Midwest at minimum.
You say this like it's an own when it's actually China flexing on us.
