    For context, the total length of high speed rail in the world is 59,000km. So China, which makes up 17% of the world’s population contains 2/3 of the world’s high speed rail.

    The closest comparison would be Europe, which has about the same land mass and half the population of China has around 11,000km of big speed rail.
