In Asia you have Turkey (since a few years on the way to an authoritarian state), Japan, South Korea, Taiwan. Even India and Thailand are currently building a high-speed line.</p> <p>So please don't use not being an authoritarian state as an excuse why the USA doesn't have high-speed rail.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
