High speed rail network in China as of 2015 |
Wow, awesome........... I want to move to china. All that hi tech and planning. I'm impressed. Gululu, you must be very proud of your country and countrymen's accomplishments. This is such a positive. Please, keep giving us more positives. |
First thing on my mind on when I read high speed railway and china... |
they depended on German and American engineers etc and still cocked it up... I would say you should give it some time before riding on it, but i'd be afraid that bit of 'wait and see' time will end up giving the system time to wear out and crash when you finally think it's safe ;) |
derailment in 3...2.... |

The trains used to travel at speeds of ~450km/h. After several accidents and adjustments, the trains now travel at a max speed of ~310km/h. Haven't had any accidents since (that I know of). I've rode in those high speed trains a couple of times. The inside is very nice and spacious. |

Us chinese have a good track record when it comes to railways... hate china..but from family members that have been on the train, it is nice and spacious inside |
the day china stops reverse engineering,... stealing trade secrets, research, intellectual property, and repackaging and selling products, undercutting companies/people who actually did the research. that day will be china's doom http://fortune.com/2013/04/15/did-ch...h-speed-train/ http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014...07353221141616 |
I recently tried the highspeed train in China. The hard product is nice, the seats recline fully flat The rear seat entertainment system wasn't working and a lot of the time there was no cell reception. There was no service to speak of either, nobody came to check up to see if I needed water etc. In comparison the Japanese Shinkansen was a much better experience even though the interior (green class) wasn't as nice. I never got a chance to ride the new gran class though http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...psol3rraxd.jpg China high speed rail seats http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...psot8jleyp.jpg Lots of leg room http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...psh7awkx6v.jpg Air conditioned cabin |
pretty impressive, and yes there had been lots of accidents already relating to the high speed rail. GG to all domestic flights and the airline industry |
might be nice to get to visit every different part of china, but the air pollution is still crappy |
Have they released the HK bookstore owner yet? |
Lots of room for kids to pee.......... wait........... wrong thread. |

didn't that Chinese millionaire buy a stake in the NY times too? or was that just more of his crazy marketing :D |

I might be wrong, but Chinese buy German, Japanese and Canadian bullet trains. I know China bought Bombardier Zefiro from Canada, Kawasaki Shinkansen from Japan, and Transrapid Maglev from Germany. |
how many of those trains have shit stains? :badpokerface: |

Nor the slave labour - a work force that is well, forced. On the other hand............... five supervisors watching one guy work........ |
On the other hand, California is in talks of building a High-speed rail network. Hopefully they can make it work and extend it along the coastline up to Vancouver. This idea has been proposed for years. And guess what? They are outsourcing from China for their "expertise" and "innovation". |
this is how China's high speed rail is built. |
