China launched a super-rapid test train over the weekend which is capable of travelling 500 kilometers per hour, state media said on Monday, as the country moves ahead with its railway ambitions despite serious problems on its high-speed network. The train, made by a subsidiary of CSR Corp Ltd, China's largest train maker, is designed to resemble an ancient Chinese sword, the official Xinhua news agency reported.
It "will provide useful reference for current high-speed railway operations," it quoted train expert Shen Zhiyun as saying.

You beat me to it.
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 do we need to use it??
Big deal if they stole rail technology.. We won’t be using it at all..
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...
The problem isn't getting a train to go 300 MPH. The real engineering is getting them to stop.
That is my thinking.. They stole from Amtrak??
My point was “free trade” has made China a technologically capable growing and rather dictatorial adversary capable of quickly exploiting technology and manufacturing.
That is what America was once capable of.
You know. The Manhattan Project.
Apollo. The moon landing. The things which illustrated to us, and the world, America is a great country.
We gave those things away - to a huge communist nation.
What could possibly go wrong.
If they stole anyone’s technology (and it’s likely they did) that country is probably Japan.
With the Chicom commitment to QA, this should be fun.
In their govt’s view, they have plenty to spare and won’t worry about the losses.
Get with the program. Treason has been redefined to include wanting small government, low taxes, secure borders, believing the second amendment refers to an individual right, and putting America first.

NAh.. stop the power and soon you’ll stop..
It is just for my entertainment purposes anyways.
