Leave it.
Your dogged determination to avoid stating facts speaks for itself.

Sad and also comical.

Ok I'll leave it, since you seem to have nothing concrete that you want to be discussed here.

He is just a typical Indian trying hard to dispute Chinese sovereignty over Xizang/Tibet and as well as Xinjiang now whenever they get the chance. Need not to answer such nonsense "inquiry" of Chinese history of Xizang/Tibet and Xinjiang, who do they think they are.

China has 50% more metro length than the next 10 countries. COMBINED.​

China, unsurprisingly, has the largest metro system in the world. It’s on another level, in a different league. In both metrics of total metro length and annual ridership numbers, China is so high that it distorts the graph.

But South Korea and Japan blow most countries out of the water when we adjust for population and area.

• In the ranking for total metro system length, India comes in at 4th. We’re behind even tiny countries like South Korea and the most far behind when adjusting for people and area. But we have to remember that Indian metros are just beginning to get constructed, so it’s kind of expected.
• We should also remember the differences in the transportation systems between countries like US (dominated by Flight + Cars), Europe (flight, highways, rail, metro), India (buses, railways) etc.

I wish it was otherwise, but in the India vs China debate, infrastructure is an important battle that China is absolutely crushing.

Sure, I agree. China builds them based on her own needs.

Exactly. And it has done an awesome job. But to claim a lead as if it were valid comparison or race is utterly pointless.
