"Most people don't read long-term socioeconomic trends into anything other than what's dished out as the lead story in the six o'clock news, but here's a really interesting one to ponder and there are some startling inferences to be had.
Start by reading:

. China may recognize that using air to lift large numbers of people - usually 200, or so at a time, seven miles up into the sky in 1/2-million pound aluminum and composite tubes is not nearly as efficient as putting the same humans on railcars which slide nearly friction-less at high speeds. And the view's are better...
. China is planning to have a lot of its citizens going to places like London, India, and Thailand and you don't want to make a bet that there could be a spur into Africa at some future date.
...we don't see grand plans for high speed rail from North America to South America, even though the globalists insist that North America is merging into a single economic block (or will) as they continue repackaging and workings on the son-of CANAMEX highway under new labels to avoid public outcry." ~ Urban Survival
