On the first day of the opening of Indian high-speed rail, the crowd shouted "overtaking" China, but three days later it became a joke. Why?

"Zuo Zhuan's Eleven Years of Hidden Gong": "Be virtuous and do what you can."

India, a country close to our country, has a population similar to ours, and is also suffering from war like ours. After stability, China has been making great efforts to govern, and India has not been idle. Indians have regarded China as their imaginary enemy. With the rapid development of high-speed rail in China, India is not far behind, but India, which has been trying to surpass China, has made many jokes.

China's high-speed rail technology is one of the best in the world. China already has skilled high-speed rail technology, so India naturally doesn't want to "sit still". So India plans to build a high-speed railway to prove that it is not inferior to China in terms of high-speed rail. India soon built the first high-speed railway, and the interior decoration of the high-speed railway was extremely luxurious.

The whole train is covered by wireless network, and each seat is equipped with high-definition blue light display screen. The interior of the whole carriage looks very upscale. In order to beat China on the high-speed rail, India really paid a lot. In addition to configuration, India claims that its high-speed rail can reach 200 kilometers per hour.

People from all over the country flocked to take the high-speed rail, expecting to completely defeat China's high-speed rail technology, just as the Indian government said. However, three days after the opening of India's high-speed rail, they were brought back to reality. Indians shouted that their high-speed rail technology would "surpass" China, because it represented the highest level of railway engineering technology in India at that time, and they thought it was an honor for their country.

However, during the three days of high-speed rail operation in India, many bad things appeared in the carriages, and the high-definition blue-light display screen behind the seats was also destroyed. The most shocking thing is that the glass on the high-speed rail has also been damaged to varying degrees. The windows are full of cracks like cobwebs. The five-star carriage that the Indian government spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build does not seem to be cherished in front of the people.

India's high-speed rail did not reach the speed of 200 kilometers per hour they once claimed. In fact, the top speed of India's high-speed rail can only reach 66 kilometers per hour. When India originally planned to build a high-speed rail, there were more people who opposed it than those who agreed. They have three concerns. One is that India's railway transportation network is very chaotic compared with other countries, which also leads to the low safety factor of Indian trains compared with other countries, especially on the high-speed rail.

The second point is that India's high-speed railway construction has not taken into account the income level of ordinary Indians. Although the construction of high-speed railway can greatly shorten the time to reach other cities, the high price is beyond the reach of most Indians.

Therefore, some rational Indians raised objections as early as when they planned to build high-speed rail. Finally, the vacancy rate of train seats in India is as high as 40%. This has also led to the long-term loss of train operations in India. Ordinary trains have been losing money. Not to mention the expensive high-speed rail.

This will inevitably cause greater losses to the Indian authorities. These three points are also the fundamental reasons why the Indian people oppose the construction of high-speed rail. Although the Indian authorities withstood the pressure from all sides and completed the comprehensive construction of high-speed rail, the final result did not make their own people proud, nor did the people of the world sit up and take notice of it.

Although the internal infrastructure of high-speed rail cars is extremely luxurious, high-speed rail has always existed as a means of transportation for the benefit of the people, and more importantly, it pays attention to safety and practicality.

Spending a lot of money on entertainment facilities is flashy. Although it can give people the feeling of cutting-edge atmosphere in the first time, the speed of driving is enough to make passengers lose patience and damage the configuration they have invested heavily, which makes people laugh. It's good to have imaginary enemies. You can spur yourself to progress, and only when you have comparison can you have motivation. The face-saving project of the Indian authorities can only satisfy their own vanity in order to expect the people to suffer.
