Has anyone ever suggested engaging Chinese companies to help develop Aussie high speed rail. Seems like an obvious option.
I understand there’d be some dog whistling around it but surely there’s no actual sovereign threat if we develop local maintenance capacity.

Of course, not a Chinese specific issue, but definitely highlights the need for complete maintenance access. The trains need to come with full source code and schematics, and it needs to be in the contracts, and enforced.
