China's High-Speed Rail Miracle
Join us on an exciting race from Chongqing to Guangzhou, where we put China's high-speed bullet train to the test against air travel! 🚄✈️ In this video, Alex Reporterfy Media compares the journey times, comfort, convenience, and overall experience of taking the bullet train versus flying.

China has established the world's most extensive high-speed railway network in just two decades.
Since the first line launched in 2008, the network has grown to roughly 25,000 miles, more than double the combined length of the rest of the world's high-speed railways and long enough to circle the Earth.

A passenger train is considered high-speed if it travels at least 124 mph on upgraded tracks or 155 mph on new tracks. More than 20 countries currently have high-speed rail networks, mainly European and East Asian states but also Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Uzbekistan.

China's government has focused on creating a dense and connected network. The high-speed rail now links major cities, reduces travel times and boosting connectivity between regions, covering 93 percent of cities with populations over a half-million as of the end of 2021.

China's ambitions continue, with plans to extend the high-speed rail network to 31,000 miles by 2025 and to 43,495 miles by 2035.

The ability of China's authoritarian government to quickly marshal vast resources for major projects is an "institutional advantage," according to the embassy.

Initially, China relied on technology transfer agreements with foreign companies such as Alstom, Siemens and Kawasaki Heavy Industries. Over time, China developed significant domestic expertise and innovation, becoming a leader in high-speed rail technology.

Starting from the heart of Chongqing and ending in the bustling city of Guangzhou, this race will determine which mode of transport truly reigns supreme in China.

🔴China's Mega City 2024

[Shenzhou.]

China delivers infrastructure, while the US delivers lectures.

[Blaster]

All I can tell you guys is that I envy you because I am stuck here in rotten EU where propaganda is telling us that we are in the garden and you are in Jungle. If I were younger (72yo), I would do as you did in a heart beat. All the best and enjoy your amazing jungle.

I love riding trains in China. One more thing I would like to add to the train is you have many trains to choose from throughout the day. So whether you don't want to leave early in the morning, or you don't want to arrive late in the evening, there is a train for you.

I'm coming to Guangzhou and Chongqing in late October. It would be awesome if I could meet you and Cyrus.

[TeacherLisaHello]

Terrific video and info! China is so modernozed and everything is available at every price point!

[ThePogo]

I’m looking forward to returning to beautiful wonderful China in less than a month. I am soon to be 84 years old and will continue to journey there from the divided states of America and Tay-K breather from the madness that goes on here. Thank you so much for this wonderful wonderfulVlog, that you present all the time.🎉😊

[davidpomeroy]

America could learn a lot from China. This is David from San Francisco. Great video guys!!😊

[MyVoice-bnvj]

Amazing beauty city in China and thank you for more update

The #2 taxi (2:42) Alex took vs the Guangzhou subway (0:55) James took made the difference, 17:47. Grats James. Travelling both ways was easy and convenient.

When China decides to do something, they do it in a big way. Airliners, high speed trains, space, nuclear and hydro power, EV, industrial machinery, bridge/rail/road construction, chip technology, 5G/6G telecom, education, and on and on and on.

[irbfenian]

Excellent content, excellent video production.

Bravo China!

[Manorainjan]

This "race" was a fine idea. I enjoyed watching it 🙂

[Voltage-vw]

Looks like a lot of fun and I am glad you shared the pleasant experience with everyone

[jnolasco]

Meanwhile I took Greyhound🚍 from Dallas to Houston here in the USA and it took me almost 3 days at 30 miles per hour😅😂

[Blueblackberry-exxc]

Love❤ China🇨🇳 Love❤ the Chinese🇨🇳 in love❤ with the communist Party of China🇨🇳 & the great leader Xi Jinping. From Bali, 🇮🇩Indonesia

[RohediEdi-dnuy]

China is the best country in the world❤ Indonesian peace 👍

[marsmars]

What a great video! I don’t care that you “lost”, Alex… the train travel looks WAY better, easier, more comfortable for me. Did I miss the overall cost comparison?

[woodytobiasjr]

There are no catalytic converters on jet engines. Whatever fuel is burned goes directly into the atmosphere, untreated and unfiltered.

[max_dsouth]

This is fun. Alex, you could win for shorter distance travel with train over plane, e.g., from Chongqing to Chengdu.
