From what my coworkers tell me, it's certainly better than it used to be. My old coworker would often fondly describe how he had to take a packed and miserable bus for almost a full day to get to Beijing when he was a kid, while now he can take an air conditioned high speed train in a fraction of the time.

There are mass abuses which you are no doubt aware. China is an opressive totalitarian state, and it's only getting more repressive as the years go by. A million Uygurs in concentration camps. Etc etc.

You cannot wave that away with "well at least they have nice trains".
