Ran across this article tonight on another site, thought I'd pass it along. The author, Simon Winchester, talks about the development of HSR in China, describes his experience riding it, and how the country sees it in their efforts to take a leadership position in the world. Pretty interesting read, quite a switch from reading about train travel in China even a decade or so ago.
