China is a poor example, especially for bullet trains as they literally just did bad copying from Japan. They have a lot more accidents than ex. Japan.

Japan would be a prime example and it's a shame you didn't use it.

I feel like that makes China a better example than it otherwise would be, because it shows that the Japanese model can work elsewhere too. Although this is also the country that built a hospital in Wuhan in a weekend. Perhaps European comparisons would be more apt.

I agree with your greater point, but it must be said that what they built wasn't a hospital--it was a warehouse that they put sick people into.

Do you have a source for this? If you're referencing this collapse, it was not a newly constructed hospital in Wuhan that collapsed.

Did it? All I can find is news about a hotel collapsing.
