China unveils 600 kph maglev train - state media - At 600 kph, it would only take 2.5 hours to travel from Beijing to Shanghai by train - a journey of more than 1,000 km (620 miles). By comparison, the journey would take 3 hours by plane and 5.5 hours by high-speed rail.

Japan's 300 km distance from Tokyo to Nagoya is not even completed and
is delayed until 2027.

Japan's maglev is about 600 kph on paper only. This is because they have
not even ready the Maglev track and not even tested the real run of the
train.

The initial test run at 600 kph was carried out and done in a test track
in 2004 and actual approval or commencement of building the track
through mountain has been impacted by environment concerns.

Additionally, the cost of building the train and Maglev track to run 300
km between Nagoya and Tokyo is about 80 billion US dollars.

Now they blamed their delays were due to spreading of covid problem in
Japan.

Japan commenced their maglev in 2004 and, now 2021, 17 years, still not
completed. Whereas China commenced their maglev in 2011 and, now 2021,
10 years, already completed and formally launched it.

Japan's planned maglev is 300 km distance between Nagoya and Tokyo, and
China's commissioned maglev last week is 1000 km distance between
Beijing and Shanghai.

Maglevs ought to be REAL fun to watch as they sail over the edge of a

I wouldn't trust Chinese infrastructure too far.
Like the USSR, they tend to build to IMPRESS.
If it all falls apart in a few years, well, there
won't be any reports.

I watch some of those shows about abandoned projects.
Have you SEEN the fate of USSR constructions ? Even
in 20 years the concrete is disintegrating - it's
even worse than US seaside condos. The structures
only had to look great long enough for foreign news
agencies to print a picture. After that ...

Oh, and TRY to sue Putin when your apartment building
implodes. Most likely you'll accidently come into contact
with some nerve-gas agent ....

Oh, and did China warn the subway riders/workers
in Hunan the other day ? Shit NO. They drowned in
the floods. Plenty more where they came from ...

That's what is called farting through the mouth. China's infrastructure accomplishments are making the US look like Third World.

Mainspring thinks China should have warned train commuters of the worst flood in a thousand years. To the credit of the Chinese, when I last watched the news, death toll was 25. The death toll from that recent US condo collapse was well over a hundred. How come so many Americans like to fart through their mouth?
