I’d like to add to this that the goal of all of this is to spread out economic centers in order to reduce homelessness, because the main source of homelessness in China is people migrating from rural communities to find work in larger cities.
If they can expand the rails, but for freight, then they would experience massive economic growth.
This really gives you a sense of how backwards the western world is. Dialectical materialism is the way forward, and it’s a shame that the west has purged it.
For sure, the rail system in China is simple recognition of the fact that moving goods and people around is the core of the economy. Population centres close to trade routes grow, and those that are far away from trade wither. A high speed rail network ensures that economic activity is evenly spread across the country, this leading to the standard of living and development growing evenly.

Funnily how even the worst western historians do know that in context of let's say ancient Asia and Europe, but once the modern means of transportation appears it all turns into "moar profit"
