    Tbf if this was done in America. Nothing would happen and we would just have a station in the middle of no where. I wouldn’t be surprised if this happened when we did have trains.

      Yea, we are about to have dozens of abandoned and/or half completed billion dollar data centers around the US.

      It’s exact how a lot of towns formed when we had trains. Trains needed fuel (coal, wood) and water…a lot of it and unreasonably frequently. Stations were built regularly along tracks. Towns formed around those.

        A lot of them sure. But America has never built things for peoples needs but instead trying to force needs on people to make a profit. So there is\was probably a station built because of some investor thinking it would make him money and the market shifted or something.

      and that’s what makes this kind of propaganda work because people naturally project their own lived experience onto China
