Japan's overseas high-speed rail projects have faced numerous setbacks, hindering its ability to keep up with China. China's achievement in building the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway in Indonesia has caught the attention of Japanese media and sparked envy among Vietnamese netizens. Japan's overseas railway projects have faced challenges due to technical, financial, and local policy issues. Meanwhile, China's railway projects have progressed smoothly, showcasing its superiority. Japan's failed attempts in Vietnam, Thailand, and India, along with issues faced by Japanese-made trains in Europe and the US, highlight the growing technology gap between Japan and China. China's ability to quickly provide equipment and transfer it to other projects after completion is a unique advantage that cannot be easily replicated by other countries. Japan's declining performance advantages, high construction costs, and maintenance expenses have contributed to its diminishing competitiveness in the high-speed rail sector.
