I hope they take into consideration what they do to the environment when they do this. Some of the rails may disturbed migration routes and affect certain habitats.

Rail goes around animal route. Our new future generation China train will levitate off track, can possibly reach speed of 600 mph!!

They didn't show more respect for human and animal rights.

I hope they have environmental impact guidelines and reports that they adhere to. Knowing the Chinese , the end justifies the means. They are ruthless and w/o morals and ethics. The animals and human have rights.
