Trump's admin views high-speed rail like California's as wasteful—over budget ($100B+ vs. $33B planned) and delayed, hence canceling $4B to redirect to roads, buses, and aviation for better ROI. China builds HSR via centralized control, easy land grabs, and massive subsidies, but faces debt issues. Americans are plenty capable (e.g., Hyperloop innovation); it's about economics and policy, not smarts. Xi's model isn't superior for US freedoms.
