Talk:High-speed rail in China

thread_title: Maps

message: Why does the map reference Taiwan when the article is about high speed rail in mainland China?
:Because people didn't want the article name to be as long as "High Speed Rail in the People's Republic of China" so then the article's name became ambiguous because of the China/Taiwan stalemate. An absurd solution. It's not like List of tallest buildings in China has Taipei 101 or List of tallest buildings in China has Foxconn.--TheJoyMonger (talk) 06:15, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Taiwan in map

message: OK, Chinese high-speed rail articles are messy this article and the China Railway High-speed article is has huge amounts of overlap. so we could either:
*be like the TGV, or shinkansen article and make this article or China Railway High-speed the "mother article" and large subsections get their own page. which means sacking this page if the latter was chosen. 
*or make High-speed rail in China strictly about infrastructure (rails, signalling, stations, etc), China Railway High-speed about the service and travel times, and a new page on rolling stock (roster, exports, technology, etc.) 
of course if there is a better idea put it here 01:20, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

message: A Chinese railway specialist and planner use the 'passenger dedicated line' instead of 'passenger designated line' in his report. Actually, the former is more popular and easier to understand. Shall we change from designated to dedicated?

replies: text: Yes. During the sixth speed-up in 2007, double track was counted twice. You can find detailed sections that were upgraded in the article. Later data were not counted twice.

thread_title:  Double track counted twice? 

message: This section is far too strongly worded.  Examples: 
"With the exception of Siemens which refused to lower its demand" why so harsh?
"The State Council turned to advanced technology abroad but made clear in directives that China's HSR expansion cannot only benefit foreign economies.[16] China's expansion must also be used to develop its own high-speed train building capacity through technology transfers"  This sounds like a propaganda piece.
The bit about Japan expecting to get the contract for the entire system is not very accurate.  I read the Chinese article and it doesn't seem to imply that.
Overall I think this article villainizes foreign companies far too often, like they should be gracious China allowed them to sell there.  Perhaps if there was a bit about the concern over Chinese companies using technology transfer to outbid the foreign companies in the future?  This would bring both sides to the table.

message: Presently, Template:Shanghai-Nanjing Intercity Railway redirects to Template:Shanghai–Wuhan–Chengdu High-Speed Railway: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Shanghai-Nanjing_Intercity_Railway&redirect=no , and the list of stations of the Shanghai-Nanjing Intercity Railway is shown as a section of Template:Shanghai–Wuhan–Chengdu High-Speed Railway. That is, we state that the section of the Shanghai–Wuhan–Chengdu High-Speed Railway is the Shanghai-Nanjing Intercity Railway. (As opposed to claiming that Shanghai–Wuhan–Chengdu High-Speed Railway and Beijing–Shanghai High-Speed Railway share tracks between Shanghai and Nanjing.) 
The above approach seems to be largely confirmed by published schedules: pretty much all Shanghai-Wuhan and Shahghai-Yichang trains that stop anywhere between Shanghai and Nanjing do so at the Shanghai-Nanjing Intercity Railway's stations (e.g., http://qq.ip138.com/train/D3002-D3003.htm , Shanghai Honqiao-Wuhan). However, there are a few trains from Shanghai to Hefei and Lu'an that actually appear to use the Beijng–Shanghai High-Speed Railway, e.g.
* http://qq.ip138.com/train/D5402-D5403.htm , Shanghai-Lu'an 
* http://qq.ip138.com/train/D5411-D5414.htm , Shanghai Honqiao-Hefei 
Besides, a few trains of this kind simply have no stops between Shanghai and Nanjing, so one can't determine which line they actually take by just looking at the schedule.
Are there any official statements about this designation in China Railways' plans? (In practical terms, of course, they may end up maintaining a good degree of flexibility, directing Shanghai-Wuhan (and, later, Shanghai-Chingqing-Chengdu) onto either line, based on capacity, maintenance work, etc. This would seem quite a smart solution, and in this case trying to decide which tracks between Shanghai and Nanjing are the "true" Hu-Han-Rong is somewhat beside the point.) -- Vmenkov (talk) 18:19, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  How does the fastest trains in the world work ? 

message: Because High-speed rail in China is not defined, the article's lede sentence provides a definition for the scope of the article -- that is, HSR in China may refer to any commercial train service with speeds above 200 km/h.  Also, China Railway High-speed is not a branch of the China Railway Corporation; it is a designation for HSR rolling stock operated by the CRC.  Since this article also mentions maglev in China, which is not operated by the CRC, the opening sentence should not characterize HSR in China as an exclusively CRC operation.

message: The 8+8 national HSR grid was introduced in July 2016 as a broader framework to organize and present the future HSR network (based on the foundation of the 4+4 grid).  The passageway concept is novel and not intuitive.  The 2016 Revisions to the Mid- to Long-Term Railway Network Plan describes the passageways only in broad strokes.  Some passageways contain a single HSR line, while others have multiple parallel lines, connectors and branches.  Some passageways appear to incorporate the 4+4 grid, new HSR lines, existing regional HSR lines, existing Intercity Railways and existing Class I railways.  It is also unclear whether in certain places, a passageway is referring to an existing ICR line or a new HSR line built to run parallel to the ICR. Just the name, "Beijing-Harbin to Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Passageway", for instance, requires considerable explanation to account for what this passageway means. Why isn't it called the Harbin-Hong Kong Passageway?  In short, the 8+8 grid by itself, is vague and prospective outline of China's HSR network.
Ideally, each of the passageways should detailed treatment with descriptions and a table of constiutent lines (with length / speed data, construction schedule).  But such details are simply not available for many parts of most of the passageways.  Without more details, the 8+8 grid cannot adequately describe the current state of HSR in China.  The track network is an integral part of the HSR in China (the subject of this article), and requires a fuller account than a vague blueprint for the future, along with a link to a separate list of China HSR lines.  I have moved content from the list back to the main article so as to allow readers to appreciate how China's HSR lines have been planned, built and organized, the extent and reach of the network (and its components) and the progression of the network and organizational framework from the 4+4 to the 8+8.

message: The effort to simplify the lede sentence, unfortunately, leads to imprecision.
:High-speed rail (HSR) in China is passenger-dedicated railway carrying multiple unit trains at speeds of at least 200 km/h (124 mph).
The foregoing sentence obscure the main intent of the state's definition of HSR as covering the 250-350 km/h range.  It is also factually incorrect because the state's official definition of high speed rail (a) includes non dedicated passenger rail lines, and (b) allows train service at 200 km/h to be considered HSR only if provided on a line that can be upgraded to 250 km/h.  In other words, if a train travels at 200 km/h on a rail line that cannot be upgraded to 250 km/h, the train service cannot be considered HSR.  Thus, there is a reason why the lede sentence sounds technical; the alternatives are not precise enough. 
Also, this Rail Gazette article does not support the proposition that the HSR network length of over 22,000 km refers to passenger dedicated track length.  In fact, this article does not refer to the 22,000 km figure at all.  Chinese sources that do mention the 22,000 figure do not indicate whether the figure covers PDLs only.

message: The Beijing–Zhangjiakou intercity railway, which will be completed next year, appears to be missing? Jpatokal (talk) 12:03, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Beijing–Zhangjiakou intercity railway missing? 

message: We define high speed rail as "passenger-dedicated railways designed for speeds of 250–350 km/h (155–217 mph)" which seems to preclude the upgraded track. However, there is at least 6,000 km of upgraded track according to our article. So it is worth mentioning somewhere how this major component fits into the overall picture.

thread_title:  How does the upgraded track fit into the overall picture? 

message: I doubt the neutrality of the article. There are multiple words misused. For example: 
High-speed rail developed rapidly in China over the past 15 years thanks to generous funding from the Chinese government, especially the economic stimulus program during the Great Recession.
Is the word "generous" correct? Shouldn't it be more neutral? ----Ný(rönn)-Holtredéþch-Deskrúð / NyholtredehnDiscussion! 08:54, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

I couldn't help but notice that there have been a number of disagreements about this map. 
Should Taiwan be included in the map?  LittleCuteSuit (talk) 23:47, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Status of Taiwan in the Leading Image 

message: I propose we change the map in this article from the current one to this one.
This is because the current map is a few years out-of-date, while the map I propose is just as detailed, and more up-to-date (it was last updated in February 2022).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ratata6789 (talk • contribs) 16:18, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

message: I was about to revert this myself after the investigation was complete, but it seems Pieceofmetalwork had beaten me to the punch and reverted the sock. But I guarantee FobTown, JadeKrusade, DragonLuv22 and whatever new account he later cooks up, is later going to try to add this back in so am addressing it now for future reference. Adding in Wenzhou incident (that only happened once and approx decade ago) and giving it major coverage space on the intro, as if it represents the gist of the entire topic is both disingenuous and obviously of bad faith editing because it’s just there to misleads people. That addition is not fit for an intro lede. Because as NYT wrote not long after, that the "statistics suggest that China's high speed trains have actually proven to be one of the world's safest transportation systems so far".  So you need to take in perspective of its overall safety record and not misresprent is as if it's the most dangerous in the world.  Unless china has a shocking safety record, it is not neutral to give so much weight to a one off single incident in such a large topic, and spin the whole article up as if it’s one of the most dangerous railways that can never be trusted, and it shows you are not here to build an encylopeda but just boosting dishonest propaganda. The facts are is that it’s actually one of the safest railways in the world when relatively compared to european states who has a far higher crashrate history. To put into perspective, Germany has many incidents of 294 in just 2020 alone  including and not limited to a similar crash killing and injuring quite a few in 2020.  Yet on the current wikipedia page for Germany's railway, the intro only talks about its “overall” good safety performance and it does not cherrypick  and zone in on a single event as if it represents everything. Because it doesn’t. So consider due weight when editing and not make it seem like one incident actually represents its "overall" safety record, as it doesn't.

message: It appears in just this past week alone, there are two big news reportedly of even faster train designs in the works including a 1000 km/hr "electromagnetic sledge". "Chinese scientists are testing a much faster system that reportedly can zoom at over 80% of the speed of sound" or 1030 kilometers an hour (640 miles).  As well as having being the first country to have successfully tested a hyperloop-like train system and are planning to build trains traveling through a vacuum that can travel 1,000 Km/hr.   Such info is not currently in the article because it's very recent news, but could be worthy to add in later. Dragonkingluv23 (talk) 11:25, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
