While true, this doesn't quite explain why China has plenty of high speed rail.

Their rail company is almost $1T in debt.

It is privately funded by public SOEs, at least. The BJ-SH line makes enough money, the rest of the HSR lines are running at losses. Maybe they can make money on renting space in train stations like Japanese rail companies do.
