We already have infrastructure, China had next to none and still doesn't really. A lot easier to grow when you're starting from zero.

The Beijing subway system is already better than NY's: more lines, better quality, clean, safe...

That's just one example but I was impressed when I saw it. And they have been adding 1 new LINE per year in Beijing, wheras we don't even add 1 new station per year in most US cities.

Not exactly related, but being in Tokyo, I now see that Toronto's subway system is a joke. I think it hasn't really been updated since I was born. There's like, three lines in total.

They have 12,000 mi of high speed rail system, (more than the rest of the world combined) we have 0.
