So, according to Google it takes about 2 hours to go from the Shenzhen border of Hong Kong to central Guangzhou. Not counting whatever it takes to get through customs, it’s about 30 minutes from that spot to central Hong Kong. I get that cars aren’t always an option and I have no idea what the lines at customs are like. It’s just, if it doesn’t go faster than a car, why is it called high speed rail? Isn’t it just normal rail? It does look very pretty and streamlined in the picture.

Hong Kong is part of China, and it isn’t. Part of the agreement for the handover was that Hong Kong residents would have certain rights that are not available to mainland Chinese. One reason why this train is controversial is that mainland Chinese seek to impose their rules with it in Hong Kong.

When flying from Canada into US, you clear US customs at the Canadian airport which then frees passengers to go to any US airport’s domestic terminal. Similar setup when taking Eurostar from London. You clear customs at the departure and then are free to get off any any station without further immigration proceedings. It’s the first such setup for Hong Kong, hence the added panic.
