You meant China?
We don't have a high speed rail system in Hong Kong as yet.

We are actually building a high speed rail line to link up with the system in China, but it won't be finished for a few years yet and its costing us about HKD $65 Billion, but that is dwarfed by the HKD $131 Billion the 3rd runway at our airport is going to cost.
But hey, the Hong Kong government has $1Trillion in our exchange fund to play with.

That runway better last a hundred years at that price. Do you happen to know the maintenance cost of the rail tracks vs runways?
I remember they said something like people were choosing to fly rather than take the train because it was only slightly more expensive; supposedly they raced they two also.

Their brains must be too close/enmeshed to separate them. They seem to be coping well, but I agree my neck hurts just seeing them.

Clearly you haven't spent time in mainland China. Hong Kong is China. ONE CHINA!
