This is a silly comparison. How many cities can China connect with trains vs Australia's 7 cities spread over almost 4k km in both axes... It's not as much "backwards" as requirements are vastly different. Melbourne-Canberra-Sydney could be useful and is getting started now, but I wouldn't expect more for decades.
- drstewart 1y agoChina is so much more modern, progressive, and advanced than Australia
- viraptor 1y agoNo idea what this has to do with this thread. And you lost me at the progressive claim...
- drstewart 1y agoYou have no idea what China being advanced compared to Australia has to do in a thread replying to someone claiming China is advanced compared to America?
- viraptor 1y agoAre you confused about threads? You're the first one saying China is more advanced here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43981378 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43981378 as an answer to "it doesn't make sense to compare train systems in those two countries". What is even the point you're trying to make here?
- Apfel 1y agoI think you may be operating under a misapprehension. The word "progressive" is the one people have taken issue with. China is many things but progressive is not my adjective of choice (I've spent many years living there).
- danielbln 1y agoGo protest against the government in both countries and see which is more progressive.
