Of cos, they will put in nice words to reduce the damage done. Taiwan HSR is not going to be profitable as everything made by Japanese is simply too expensive. Just like their Sony Bravia TV. I can get a samsung or TPV TV with half the price but same quality and even better function.More recently:

It's not like they have not been profitable:

....they just couldn't pay the loans back as quickly as originally planned/structured.
No such problem will be there for India given the time period Japan has given for the repayment (and grace period).
It's more of an investment like loan to be honest.
