Who in America is China copying with their high speed rail? Who are they copying with their drone displays? What about their skylines that more closely resemble our sci-fi films than anything we've actually built?

The truth is, China is already the most advanced country in the world and if we ever manage to modernize our infrastructure and manufacturing, we will be copying them.




Those examples are optimizations.

Trust me I would love for China and India to start innovating and advancing the human race but taking the idea of a train and making it faster is just an iteration on a previous technology.
