Other than national prestige, PRC also wants to reduce the dependence on air traffic for its long distance transportation system as PRC is still years away to build its passenger planes. Another consideration is the reduction of oil importation. Anything the PRC does bearing clear and multiple target(s).Good point. What outsiders will see is that PRC has bullet trains. The US putting men on the moon was a prestige boost for them, although it has had no effect on the homeless people in the US or those that survive on Food Stamps. These trains may not be viable, they definitely help improve national prestige. There are always pros and cons.
