The one thing that I don't see mentioned in the articles that I've seen on this is a mention of plate tectonics and earthquake zones. Based on the occasional report of Chinese bullet train wrecks and bridges collapsing from shoddy work and cost-cutting/fraud, I would not want to ride in such a tunnel.
