By what metric?
China has the world's largest HSR network at 45,000KM, 15x that of Japan's 3,000KM network.
Chinas fastest regular use line is 350KM/h. Japan's is 320KM/h.
(AFAIK) China is the only country with an operational maglev line (in Shanghai). A 30KM line at 430KM/h. While Japan's Maglev is still under construction.
So what are the metrics that Japan's rail system cooks China?
They're also way bigger than Japan.
