China doesn't count because you can't trust whatever they report to be true.
An example would be their "China made" microchips for the new Huawei or their new laptops, that were supposed to be proof that China didn't need western chips, but then the chips say "Taiwan" for some reason, and you realize they were still using western or older chips, but lying about them being manufactured in China.
When it comes to trains, we've all seen the horribly photoshopped gifs of the trains running on their empty rails.
Are you suggesting that China built a massive railroad network, but is lying about having trains?
Real "Lets fake the moon landing on the moon" hours.
Does this look real to you? Posted by a Chinese official.

I've been on the Wuhan->Guangzhou train and it was like 4 hours incl stops. It's roughly 1,000 KM (660 mi). Did the CPC somehow move the south coast of China inland northwards? I physically went from Wuhan airport to the ocean via train in less than 5.5 hours.
Like you're talking to the forum most likely to have visited China. It's not fucking North Korea, you can actually go there and get on the trains dipshit. Blanket dismissing all sources from China because some YouTubers told you to is just asking to be dunked on
Sorry to have to tell you this, but you're actually a fake gif made by the evil CCP.
China is using miniature black holes for folding space to hide their failing train system. Several high-ranking officials working on the "trains" were recently seen having been partially spaghettified, just real noodly-looking.
