Why China? Why not London? Tokyo?
Because it's cheaper to build a tunnel under the Bering Strait than it is across the Atlantic Ocean, and once you get over to Russia, you can send them along the same routes as their high speed trains.
And, Tokyo is located in Japan, a very high earthquake zone. Can you imagine being in a tunnel like that when a quake hits? You'd end up as raspberry puree once the vehicle left the tube.
You don't think there are earthquakes in China?
Yes, there are earthquakes in China, but Japan sits ON A FAULT LINE.
