This opens the question: Is this part of a possibly growing quality control issue in China’s great and rapid infrastructure expansion?
It’s already been seen that these lines are unaffordable to the average Chinese, are frequently run at less than “high speed” - to save costs (related to the energy expenses for them), and now some volatile questions of quality.
Of, course this does not make the U.S. nightly news, lest the state-media harm the Obama hand-outs to the planners of such transportation scams in the U.S.
I am thinking that these trains are going to be used to move ammunition and troops quickly.
Civilian passengers are an afterthought.
