The Web platform Business Insider has a quite comprehensive and factual comparasion of the several HSR Systems throughout Asia.

Fair Use:
...On a recent trip through Asia and Europe, I had the opportunity to ride bullet trains in China, Korea, and Russia. Last year, on a trip to Tokyo to launch Business Insider Japan, I rode a bullet train from Tokyo to Osaka.
China's bullet trains stood out for their speed and the extensive network; Japan's trains were notable for their cleanliness and comfort; Korea's trains were easy to navigate and had great WiFi; and Russia's trains had the best food options.
While China's and Japan's bullet-train systems were exceptional, and Russia's Sapsan felt luxurious, I think China has the edge. Here's why.
Finally, allow "license" that Russia is within Asia -even if their HSR is within Europe.
