China (Beijing) to build largest subway system

Beijing has anounced plans to build the worlds largest subway system. Looks like China will be gobbling up natural resources for years to come, must have a few other mega projects planned.
 
I have a question but not about subways but trains. and that is why doesn't the United States have a really fast and safe passenger rail system?..I just don't understand why we don't as this is a big country with many very beautiful places to see and yet, the passenger rail system is the U.S is zilch IMO.

not only you don't have trains, you don't even have an auto industry anymore.
