Simply read the whole thread before replying here.

That shouldn´t be too much expected.

Reading before replying. Saves time and anger, believe me.

@megatwingo

the chinese government bought 100 these trains,which cost over €4bn in all,and siemens got €750mn, so can you say that the train comes from Germany?

CRH-3, a similar row with Japan, 2 & 3 I sheet

[Phead128]

$360 billion on national HS rail grid is similar to America's $365 billion dollar Inter-state Highway system, or China's $380 billion dollar Great Wall, or $380 billion dollar property damage Japan did to China during WW2.

Unmodified passanger trains, not modified experimental trains.

Transrapid is maglev...

@LeThoem

The Chinese CRH 380A is a little further developed copy of the Kawasaki E2-1000 with bogies of the Siemens Velaro.

Basically a Japanese train with German wheels.

You wrote, that there isn't even one train in germany that hits more than 350 km/h.

ICE in the year 1988 : 406,9 km/h

Transrapid in the year 2003 : 501, 5 km/h

@megatwingo

This trains has some japanese technology, not german, but it's also developed a lot by Chinese, or did you see a train in japan or germany that reaches 380 km/h operation speed? Btw, the new CRH 380A is fully independently developed in China and reaches 416 km/h, we don't need your overaged technology anymore! You are proud of your slow train, but there isn't even one train in germany that hits more than 350 km/h, hahahaha
