learn to read, or at least do some google, my friend. Nothing french runs on this line. The technologies come from JAPAN, and GERMANY. So don't think too highly of your "west". After all, high speed train is invented in Japan, not in the "west".
start paying their people proper minimum wage, that would be more of a modernisation than a train that could be done without and probly not very eco friendly.
At least I know how to spell Afghanistan! ROFLMAO!!!! I wonder which cuntry you live in. Retardania? Moronica? The U.S. is the best country in the world, and you know that! Ha!
US: murderers of iraqis and afghans, invaded iraq based on lies, "free" countries by dropping bombs on women and children, fake ass "world police", worse foreign policy ever, bullying countries, bunch of hypocrites and double standards, culture of gangs and ciolence, love for guns, school shooting is natural, largest prisoner population on earth, country of stupid ppl, country of obesity.
LMAO yea i agree US is best country in the world......in terms of mcdonalds and gangs
You still are afraid to mention what shithole third world country you live in I noticed. You can say all the above lies and bs you want, but even if it was true it would be far, far better than anything you could call a nation. We have people risking their lives to sneak in illegally, how bout you? ROFLMAO!!!!!!
yep, ill accept that if ya can back it up with an intelligent reason. My piont is valid China spend on ridiculous projects and ignore the detrimental effects their industries have on the enviroment, and an average monthly wadge for a chineese person is around €568 per month.
I might be a dumbass but im a dumbass with a point here. This train is not needed. Its pretention, showing off.
oh thats funny. u talk about environment when the rich countries today have gotten their wealth through destroying their environment. now when china is trying to achieve that wealth for their ppl too, they get all the blame and made as scapegoats. so what if china wants to build a new train. it obviously improves travel for chinese ppl. while other countries are wasting money by going war.
I get the feeling i offended you but i just wanted to express my opinion on this train here, and if China are really thinking about what they are doing for their country when spending their tax payers money.
gisty84, do you know how long it takes to travel from Wuhan to Guangzhou with a train that rides on normal speed? 10.5 hours. Now with this train, it only takes 3.5 hours to go from Wuhan to Guangzhou and you say this isn't needed? China needs more trains like this and almost every railway system in China will have highspeed railway service in 2012, transportation is necessary for economic development.
yea I get that, and i probly dont know enough about economics or how long it takes to get from one part of china to the next to be judgemental here but when i see this train and how much they spend on it it just makes me wonder could that money not have been used in another way to improve their country, and life for their people. Do u know what i mean?
So you are saying that improving transportation is bad? Well get used to it because 42 more Chinese railways will have this kind of high speed railway system in 2012 and besides, this railway was builded by a State-owned company which costed 116.6 billion Yuan and they've got way more cash which they are spending right now. And FYI, the government is improving the country, you can check the 11th five year plan then you know what I mean.
Did you think about how many job oppertunities it produced? For the same amount of money, you can either give them out to the poor for free so they don't need to do anything, or ask them to work on transportation projects like this and pay them for their work. Which one do you think is better? One concern of this kind project is portion of the investment goes aboard, however, in the global enconomy like today, I don't think that's really a problem.
Which Iraq and Afghanistan people, the peaceful, law-abiding citizens, or the terrorists in each country that the US are fighting and dying to prevent their hostile takeover? Thanks to the US there is a democracy in Iraq now, unlike China, which is still governed by a dictatorship.
ROFL! thanks to the US retards, there is suicide bombings every week in afganastan and iraq. the irony is that the US are the true terrorists who are doing the hostile takeovers lmao.
WTF is wrong with you fucked up people? I'm just saying they obviously got the design from shinkansen. All those who think i'm saying this is a shinkansen, are are 100% retards. I meant they got the damn design from shinkansen.
The US is a hypocrite in what way? Seems to me whenever there is a major disaster in the world (earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis, etc.) nobody is calling the US a hypocrite when we send ton after ton of supplies and rescue personnel with no strings attached. When the US military is called upon to root out the truly dangerous of the world in order to make it a safer place the US is the only people to salute them for it. You remember that.
Australia needs a system like this. I know it's gonna be exspasive but imagaine a east coast like from Cairns in North Queensland to Melbourne in Victoria or even a link from Brisbane to Perth that's over 4000kms. It would be so good
Nice to have a fast train. But for me its more important to live in a free country with no censorship, no dictatorship, a social system, clean air... I don't live in 1984.
US fit you well. US has clean air, has your so-called free. After a hurricane, you can EVEN enjoy one month of wild life time with no power. I experienced that, very COOL!

the chinese are claiming the world's fastest regular commercial passenger train service, supported by both competing Kawasaki and Siemens technologies, and that's the plain truth. but the world's really fastest commercial train service is the Shanghai Pudong maglev, also Chinese using Siemens design, unfortunately suffered bad set back in Germany because of 2006 Lathen maglev tragedy. it's great how the Kawasaki CRH2C and Siemens CRH3C are competing for the faster and better title for China rail
If they are competing, why don't they use their fastest trains instead of second best in China? Why did Kawasaki asked a written memorandum of understanding that China won't ask a responsibility of the accident on this train service? It's China that is hungry for the title and risking the safety. period
The Kawasaki highspeed bullet trains in Japan interestingly had never suffered any serious accidents, and no fatalities; neither did the Siemens highspeed trains. The Siemens maglev in Germany suffered 1 major accident that claimed 23 lives. So far the Chinese has maintained a good safety record, but will soon easily surpass Japan and EU nations on daily mileage and passenger numbers, and that's a cause for safety concerns in itself.
These trains were built in China based on German ICE, but built by the China-German joint-venture company IN CHINA.
That Japanese maglev train was just test train. They are modified just for testing purpose. There's no comparison between them not even mentioning that maglev and wheeled trains are not in the same category.
I'm pretty sure you based that off of that jackie Chan movie... what's it called? Its also got Owen Wilson in it... Well, in any event, you tried, and you failed. Be consumed by it.
China seems to be a country of two extremes.This shows how modern and hi-tech they can be, then on the other hand some chinese areas are primitive and almost backward in belief and practice
you're right, kilometers per hour makes much more sense, however we've been using miles per hour since we were born, and switching would just cause too much confusion. Just to give you an idea, try to imagine switching to miles per hour. You'd probably have a lot more difficulty estimating speed. I agree with you, kilometers per hour make a lot more sense, but now miles per hour are just for ease of use over here.
Why don't u guys say we China just copy technology from other countries?? Yes, we China is a copy kingdom, we can copy a fastest train in world, why don't u think the Chinese news also fake news??? In short, China is a fake country, am I right??fucking foreigners!!!
Only this time China couldn't even copy the choo choo train without help from Kawasaki Heavy Industries. None of countries giving their top tech to China, the trains you find in China are second best of fucking foreigners. Though they started world's fastest train "SERVICE" by risking the life. Somehow ignorant people, especially people in China think China invented the fastest train in the world. I see chinese nationalism in that. China may invent a great thing in the future but it takes time.
Copy cats or not China has bullet train the USA no, just the crappy azela.
You are assuming that in China everyone is a factory worker that makes 60 bucks a months.....wrong, there are 300 million people who are middle class with salaries big enough to afford those tickets. So what would it be the hippe?
You're totally clueless. This train is based off of the Japanese Shinkansen E2 and its produced with license. This is not for show China has a population of 1.3 billion, unlike the USA China knows that it needs mass transport to east traffic and carry millions of people across the country each year. The ticket price is quite cheap thats the whole point so most people can afford it. China isn't stupid.
@davidmonse31 5 years later, when new gen train comes out, how do people react? And people only know the result by listen to the news report who may impose its own ideas but ignore the long journey to this feat. When 2014 California High Speed Rail comes out, the same thing would happen again.
I don't get what exactly you want to say... Maglev would be our next gen train but existing conventional but high-end trains in German, France and Japan would be Chinese next gen like in 5 years I suppose. When the high speed rail is installed in California, I don't think people react the same here in US. Like I mentioned, the nationalism and culture is different. Well, you can blame on your media but hey, isn't it obvious?
sorry but ill never trust country runned by socialism or anti-american mind even they use high-tech infrastructure even they create a 1000 mph train i dont care
the prinicipal goals whit communism countries is purely destroy our way of life whit the help from greenpeace, micheal moore, anti-globalization protester,hugo chavez,noam chomski,grunge and alternative musik who bleed my ears since 1991
hope obamma destroy al this and keep america to americans
This is exactly why the Chinese don't trust Americans or the west. The lack of understanding of whats going on. Do you even know what is communism go look it up and you'll know China is no longer a communist state. China's main goal isnt to destroy western civ. way of life. PLZ why would they do that to their customers? LOL! China at the moment is concentrating on improving its infrastructure and its citizens way of life plain and simple.
@junkun1234 I've heard two types are in use, first German ICE 3 capable of 400 km/h, another is Shinkansen E2, for lower speed class of 350 km/h. The train has been modified, the tractor system and bogie use the CR- Alstom co-designed one to replace the Mitsubishi and Hitachi parts. French tech may have made it better

It is amazing that the central planning of communist Obama administration is not able to perform such advances in technolgy and economy. The Chinese certainly apply the fruitful principles of capitalism to get over the backward murders of Mao the Dung.
There's difference between population base and birth rate. The fertility rate in China is about 1.72 per woman of 2009, and it is 1.93 per woman in Australia in 2009. In the mean time India has fertility rate of 2.68 per woman in 2009. The large population in China was a problem caused by Mao in 1950s, but since 1980s, strict one child policy-birth control policy has even made birth rate at low level of 14/1000 ppl the same as that in USA, ranked 136 in the world.
there was no such thing back then, no country had that. back then they needed lots of sons/daughters to help in the farm. wouldnt say scum race, i mean me an american arent to be proud of what we done, and either are you, descents of prisoners.
China operated trains for ages, and this isn't their first highspeed rail, they have years of experience. China's infrastructure is top notch and rail accident rarely happens. Don't be hating at progress.

4. Money is the point here not where technology from
5. by 2012(we alreay in 2010!!!) they will have 13,000km HSR (>350km/h). longer than all countries with HSR in the world combined
6. May 2010 they will have the first 380km/h link between beijing and shanghai.

you're right, kilometers per hour makes much more sense, however we've been using miles per hour since we were born, and switching would just cause too much confusion. Just to give you an idea, try to imagine switching to miles per hour. You'd probably have a lot more difficulty estimating speed. I agree with you, kilometers per hour make a lot more sense, but now miles per hour are just for ease of use over here.

Only this time China couldn't even copy the choo choo train without help from Kawasaki Heavy Industries. None of countries giving their top tech to China, the trains you find in China are second best of fucking foreigners. Though they started world's fastest train "SERVICE" by risking the life. Somehow ignorant people, especially people in China think China invented the fastest train in the world. I see chinese nationalism in that. China may invent a great thing in the future but it takes time.

Copy cats or not China has bullet train the USA no, just the crappy azela.
You are assuming that in China everyone is a factory worker that makes 60 bucks a months.....wrong, there are 300 million people who are middle class with salaries big enough to afford those tickets. So what would it be the hippe?
One advice, please buy a ticket and visit China.
metrotrujillo 2 years ago
You're totally clueless. This train is based off of the Japanese Shinkansen E2 and its produced with license. This is not for show China has a population of 1.3 billion, unlike the USA China knows that it needs mass transport to east traffic and carry millions of people across the country each year. The ticket price is quite cheap thats the whole point so most people can afford it. China isn't stupid.

I don't get what exactly you want to say... Maglev would be our next gen train but existing conventional but high-end trains in German, France and Japan would be Chinese next gen like in 5 years I suppose. When the high speed rail is installed in California, I don't think people react the same here in US. Like I mentioned, the nationalism and culture is different.

Their max speed is 400-440km/h
(in service, 320-360km/h)
E2 is already out of date...
its max speed about 350-370km
in service, 300-320km is proper speed, i think
350k is too dangerous

@junkun1234 I've heard two types are in use, first German ICE 3 capable of 400 km/h, another is Shinkansen E2, for lower speed class of 350 km/h. The train has been modified, the tractor system and bogie use the CR- Alstom co-designed one to replace the Mitsubishi and Hitachi parts. French tech may have made it better

There's difference between population base and birth rate. The fertility rate in China is about 1.72 per woman of 2009, and it is 1.93 per woman in Australia in 2009. In the mean time India has fertility rate of 2.68 per woman in 2009. The large population in China was a problem caused by Mao in 1950s, but since 1980s, strict one child policy-birth control policy has even made birth rate at low level of 14/1000 ppl the same as that in USA, ranked 136 in the world.
