Where are you getting the average speed for Beijing Guangzhou? It does 2230 km in 7:17 (G79, G80) for an average of 306 kmh. So it would do a 441 mile route in 139 min, not 159.
100% agree with the argument (as a regular rider of the Borealis to Madison by getting a ride from Columbus, it's still far better than driving or taking the bus despite the time difference). I will be very curious on the political viability of this though - it seems like it would require so more coordination to actually achieve given the states involved (plus having to solve the Madison problem).
I hope to see it though! Feels like a perfect example of a high speed opportunity.
