So how are the debts in China doing... oooh right. Sure they got ghost towns, huge dam projects, huge water projects, huge projects, High Speed Rails connecting many blooming cities. And.. oh right those blooming cities are mostly empty. That is a problem isn't it. So train travel is low... and with that not enough money is put back into the project through tickets to pay back the debts the companies have. No matter where that debt is hidden... there is a debt. It has to be paid off, or defaulted on. And china is going to default on a lot of them. So yeah, China has a lot of high speed rail, but at what price...
