Surprised freight isn't mostly done via train considering their vast networks. |

I lived there and I can say China with its high tech looking cities is relying on ancient nasty trucks that look like they’re from the 1950s for most of their logistics. Any standards on modernizing this fleet is an improvement. |

You saw future US then (as in: the impression anyone traveling there will have in 20 years time, coming from an electrified world) |

To add some context for anyone seeing this later: China's rail network is actually divided into two separate networks high speed passenger rail and freight rail. The freight rail is much less extensive and in parts where it is mixed use passenger rail gets the priority. Retooling the entire system to be freight-friendly would require massive projects: new dedicated freight lines, rail spurs to thousands of industrial parks, land acquisition, and years of construction. Meanwhile, trucks already do last mile delivery, and China already has a robust EV supply chain. |
