World's first 600km/h high-speed maglev train to make public debut in Qingdao:
The world's first high-speed maglev transportation system running at a speed of 600 kilometers per hour [(372 mph)] will make its public debut in Qingdao, East China's Shandong Province, on Tuesday.
As the fastest ground vehicle available so far, the system, self-developed by China, is a cutting-edge scientific and technological achievement in the field of rail transit in the world, said China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) Qingdao Sifang Co., LTD., an industrialization base for manufacturing high-speed trains in China.
The high speed maglev train will be suspended, driven and guided without contact between the train and the track by means of electromagnetic force, with its resistance only coming from the air, said Liang Jianying, deputy general manager and chief engineer of CRRC Sifang.
As a new mode of high-speed traffic, the train is safe, reliable and has low noise pollution, small vibration, large passenger capacity and needs less maintenance, he said, saying that it can fill the speed gap between high-speed rail, whose maximum operating speed is 350 km/h [(217 mph)], and aircraft, whose cruising speed is 800 to 900 km/h [(500 to 560 mph)].
[...] Although the maglev prototype train is about to be rolled off the production line, there is no track line for the 600 km/h high speed maglev train in China yet.

The South China Morning Post and the Sina Corporation are anti-China? You and your wife are the sole arbiters of what is and isn't in use by over 1.5 billion people? Keep living in that fantasy land.

The morning post is an HK newspaper. I've never heard of the Sina corporation.
>You and your wife are the sole arbiters
No, but then again, my wife is a part of those 1.5 billion people, and in her whole life has apparently never heard the term, because when I asked her, she had no idea what I'm talking about. And that does tell me something. More importantly, it has a lot more weight than the words of some white redneck who doesn't speak the language or has ever been to the country.
Imagine a scenario: some guy in China is telling you that in America, we call roundabouts "circlejerk." Then finds a couple of chinese propaganda articles using that term to make fun of americans. That's literally you.
>Keep living in that fantasy land.
and you lack social contact so much, that shit you see online after specifically searching for it, creates your world for you. I bet you haven't even talked to anyone in person for over a month. Fantasy land indeed, your world created by the internet.
