The train system in Europe is old and rag tag.. It will take a lot of
changes to make the existing train system sustainable in quality service >>> and efficiency to suit the expectation of the traveling public by
airlines.
And China is the most proficient and cost effective train system builder.
How long before the poor-quality concrete sends bridges and viaducts
crashing down?

How about the 3-Gorges dam ?
China builds fast and cheap and there's a minimum of
legit engineering and inspection. Somewhat like Russia
in the 50s/60s, China prefers appearances over all
else. It will build a bullet-train system, invite the foreign
press to take pictures, make praiseful documentaries,
and then when it all falls down they won't tell anybody.
