One of China’s high speed trains. China now has over 50,000km of high speed rail, projected to grow to 70,000 km by 2035. It built all of this rail since 2008. In under 20 years. Australia by comparison has zero high speed rail. Why the difference? Because Western nations live inside social media, whose only product is argument. A nation that builds things is also a nation that has found ways to coordinate people towards a common end. The building itself usually does much of that coordination.
