America CAN'T Keep Up with China’s High-Speed Revolution! In this video, I'm discussing why the U.S. struggles to keep up with China's infrastructure development. China has decades of experience constructing cutting-edge metro systems and an extensive high speed rail network, and the U.S. just doesn't have the same level of expertise.

One of the most striking examples is the Hangzhou West Train station and Metro, an enormous station and underground transit network that isn’t just a transport hub and subway — it’s an engineering marvel. Gliding through Hangzhou at incredible high speed and diving underground through tunnels, it’s one of the most unique and scenic transport systems in the world. Clean, fast, reliable — and yes, it runs on time.

5G in China isnt big news anymore, they've moved on. The 5.5G era is here! And China Mobile’s 5G-Advanced truly lives up to the word advanced.

Lightning fast internet, so fast and reliable you can live-stream in 4K, upload videos, download movies, make video calls and even watch your favourite vlogger in 4K no lag no buffering all while riding a train at going over 300 kilometers per hour.

Which by the way for comparison that's about 4 times faster than UK trains, and nearly 7 times faster than America's Amtrak average speed of 50km/h
