I checked the 2 Koreas population projection

 North Korea	25,644 0.52  26,243 0.46  26,689 0.34  26,956 0.20    27,074 0.09 27,074 0.00  26,970 -0.08

 South Korea	49,362 0.10  49,373 0.00  49,003 -0.15 48,173 -0.34 46,912 -0.53 45,284 -0.70 43,369 -0.86

It will take a while for DPRK to catch up to South Korea

Couldn't they just shut down the line between those two places and shuttle people to the stations via buses? Its a really cool flex though.

Some light searching tells me this is standard procedure in china for when the bridge spans over roads/railways, found several bridges and overpasses made exactly the same way.

Make the bridge over unused land to the side then rotate it into place so no major construction happens over where the bridge is supposed to be.

I think the implication was that they value their hsr so much that they chose a difficult feat of engineering over disrupting service.

quote:

So farewell, Hong Kong. The vibrant, pulsating city-state that grew, under British rule, into one of the world’s great financial, business, cultural and tourism hubs has finally been brought to heel. Browbeaten, abused, silenced. Trust Xi Jinping, China’s dementor president, to suck out all the joy. Last Wednesday was the UN’s International Day of Happiness. But it was a sad, bad day for Hong Kong.

lol ok then.

Yeah.

Voter turnout for the post-reform elections was pretty low and I know that's a painful sticking point for the CPC, a properly functioning socialist democracy needs engagement from the masses to be legitimate. I'd be interested in any kind of reflection or insight on what their long term approach will be to fix that. But I'd only trust a piece from a chinese communist and definitely not any western liberal freaks.

It was known at the time. The BBC even had reporters film a class of Hong Kong students being taught protest tactics by the NED.
