"China's high-speed rail is incredibly fast, incredibly comfortable, and has no flaws." Trump recently praised China's high-speed rail in a live broadcast. Previously, Obama and Biden had publicly expressed their "envy" for China's high-speed rail.

As early as 1996, the United States proposed its first high-speed rail project, the "California High-Speed ​​Rail". After that, it took 12 years for the project to be reviewed, and the project was officially launched in 2008. In the same year, the California government announced that it would borrow $9.95 billion to build the high-speed rail, and the federal government allocated another $2.25 billion, but it was not until 2015 that the first phase of the project finally broke ground. Today, the project has made little progress, but the budget has soared from $33 billion to $128 billion, becoming a nationally recognized disaster project.

In 2018, Morocco's high-speed rail was successfully opened to traffic, while the US high-speed rail has not even laid a few tracks. As a superpower, Morocco always talks about competing with China in infrastructure, but in the end, it has not even surpassed an African country. After so many years and so much money, the US high-speed rail "got up early but couldn't catch up."
