It looks cool. Don't know how nice it'd look after derailing at 300+ mph. Does look cooler than the trains we've got here (and with gasoline around $8.25 per gallon, I'll take the train, thanks).At least they’re using the technology.
China Tests 500 km/h Super High-Speed Train
I can’t wait for the body count.
To continue that headline:
... manufactured with factories, “free traders” sent to that communist nation so they could rip off Americans and make fast, easy money.
That was once, called “treason”.
China stole TECHNOLOGY from Amtrak???
Why? In China the gubbermint can make the people ride the train, while in the U.S. the people aren't ready to give up their freedom of using their vehicles at their destination.

It’s........A........Train..... correct me if I am wrong, but haven’t these things been around since the 1800’s???? so they made one go fast... big deal, it still rides around on tracks....this is only newsworthy to the convert america to europe liberal hippies...
With the Chicom commitment to QA, this should be fun.
Let them. Its a complete freaking waste.
They have trouble getting anyone to ride the trains they have now. So a faster train will bring more people? Only in a socialist corrupt system ...
Stolen tech: does China have anyother kind?
Thank a Free Trader Communist every time the Communist Chinese make an advancement from stolen American ingenuity
Of course, the Commie Chinese version of this high speed train will crack up once it hits 350 K/h, but I am sure a Free Trade Commie will have some spin about that
I rather like the Japanese hight speed trains but I haven’t the same trust for Chinese engineering and construction. Corruption and cutting corners is ingrained in the Chinese crony system.
They need this in India. move loads fast and quick too..
Can’t wait for pics of 100 Indians hanging onto a car.. oops.. 99.. as it picks up speed.
It looks cool. Don't know how nice it'd look after derailing at 300+ mph. Does look cooler than the trains we've got here (and with gasoline around $8.25 per gallon, I'll take the train, thanks).a train or anything else traveling at this speed along the ground is just plain stupid. Too many things can go wrong as far as things getting in the way.
Considering we have one of the worst train systems in the world, why would they try to steal our technology?
The lesson is, that, until America can achieve the labor costs of China, we will never be able to afford a high tech society.
Who in hell cares whether the technology was “stolen?” China is using it, while we’re not. The future belongs to those who take risks. Let the meek inherit the Earth - it’s all they deserve.
Willie Green would be proud.
What happens when a water buffalo stand on the tracks in front of one of those? Will the nose crumple or is it an armored ram?
