The greatly reduced costs of ocean transport of containers and container air transport are the factors which actually make a high-speed trans-Asia rail system less economic today than it would have been in the 1950s.

While adding China to the global economy has added scale to this would-be project, the original line to the city-state of Singapore picked up scale passing through India.

There's nothing new as the rail lines already exist and train sets occasionally operate in end to end fashion along these lines. The question is what is the pay-off on capital invested to make the rail system operate at higher speeds.
