BEIJING, July 20 (Reuters) - China unveiled a maglev train capable of a top speed of 600 kph on Tuesday, state media said.
The maximum speed would make the train, self-developed by China and manufactured in the coastal city of Qingdao, the fastest ground vehicle globally.
Using electro-magnetic force, the maglev train "levitates" above the track with no contact between body and rail.

While America is shackled fighting the virus sent by China.
I like to see the scenery…..going by at 600kph.
Would I ride on a train built by the Chicoms that goes 600 mph???
No way!!!!!!!!
I wouldn’t trust my chances on Chinese bullet train.
Meanwhile America is wacist...so says OUR state media.
Really fast…..stop…..really fast…..stop…..really fast…..stop
Would I ride on a train built by ANYONE that goes 600 mph???
No Way!
They’re going to have to get them up higher or they’ll be hosing kids off the front.
Wait.
It’s China.
Never mind.
Neither would I. There is nothing so important which would make me chance a 600 kilometers/hour train. I even avoid flights as much as possible.
Yeah, an accident at 600 KM/hour would surely make the news?
If anything, I would trust the Chinese-built ones more, because if anything goes wrong, those responsable will get a bullet in the brain pan.

Source please. I am too lazy and too busy to try and hunt the incident up on Google.
600 kph = 373 mph. But your point is still valid. “Fatality rates in the railroad industry have traditionally been among China's most closely guarded secrets.”
That is nothing. Here in America we can cut a tranny to have two vaginas.
Also, we have 52 genders for the win. /sarc

Japan’s Transfer of Bullet Train Technology A Mistake. China, Of Course, Has Copied It
Odd, the Chinese never ordered any spare parts?
As a proponent of coast to coast Amtrak, I bet our current occupant of the white house will have an organism as he sends his lionel model train set spinning around the office while thinking of this.
KPH, not MPH.
600 KPH ~ 360 MPH.
Still, 360 MPH or 600 MPH — not much difference when it is scrambling your eggs.
