[PRCo] China

[Fred Schneider]

Peter Folger and I both have a strong desire to educate.   He keeps telling me to keep it up.    This is an item he passed along today which I think deserves much wider distribution.   
The second and third links just show views of China.   While we may be upset that they are taking our dollars, they are also part of our world ... our planet.  

The third link?   Well, if any of you operate conventional air-brake streetcars in museums, imagine doing it on city streets with people and automobiles impinging on you every few hundred meters.   Look at what the lady in the third video contends with while running her car in Dalian.

You might also want to look at some of the stuff on the internet on the Chinese high speed railways.   That's a concept the rest of the world embraces but we say is impossible.
