China VS Singapore


Recently, I have chanced upon an article regarding the transportation statics comparison between Singapore and China. I find this piece of news extremely interesting as it involves the difference in terms of transportation services both countries provided.

In my opinion, prior to reading the article, I would say that comparing these two countries can be a little unfair because firstly, China is so much bigger than Singapore and secondly, China is still a developing country with many undeveloped and rural villages while Singapore is a developed country. Hence, I think that China must be at the losing end when compared.

However, the end result was quite unexpected. Singapore was ranked 127th in 2005 whereas China was ranked 79th in 2005, which was so much higher than Singapore.  This stats comparison further emphasized on the rapid speed that China is developing at.
