Blessing China did not undertake Indian high speed rail

 It was a blessing in disguise for China not to undertake the Indian high speed rail project. And China has the Japanese to thank for.

Suffice to say, even if China were to build India's high-speed rail, it is a very risky venture. The Indians are great forked-tongue creatures and may find fault with the project after completion, just to bargain for huge discounts, or delayed payments will ensue. Do not blame China for asking upfront payments though on everything to do with India.

What that happens, China is going to lose its pristine reputation in building high speed rails, India gets it on the cheap and the anti-China trolls will have a field day talking about bad Chinese workmanship. This is a given.

One thing I must say aloud is that China must not undertake leftover projects that could harbor sub-standard materials being used and gets a bad name if things do not go according to plan, even if they are not China's fault.
