[quote=GUEST76218,434148]Trains are sensational. World leaders and some incredible engineering. What does concern me though is that in China maintenance seems to be a lost art. The practice with most things, houses, roads, trains(Not sue yet) seems to be to build them and let them deteriorate and the build a newer one when the time comes. I dont think this is now sustainable and am concerned about the long term safety. Have read a lot about the quality of concrete used in high speed rail and would wonder also about it's use in all the new high rise buildings. Many newer housing developments are made to look great before selling but after just a few years most I have seen have cracking spawling facades, paint or coatings peeling away, almost every fountain and pond in them is not working, electrical fittings are broken, fences and wooden benches are no longer mantained etc. Maintenance that is normally carried out in Western countries. I am from Australia and am in awe of your engineers and construction but am appalled by you safety standards and maintenance.[/quote]
