@beeble2003 Good question.

@dycarbon1 China is adopting new technology it's maglev system is the same as the Japanese' system and that american system is just stupid.

go to bed early, set your alarm clock,,and take that rediculously slow train to work, lol

Maglev tech is pretty old and original. I remember when I was a kid watching a train video in 1995 featuring maglevs. Surprised it's now that America wants it. Japan had them, and lost many in the terrible earthquakes.

"being used commercially in Japan and communist China." republicans fund explosive growth in communist China with jobs outsourced from America. America should be the one with all these firsts, but instead republican businessmen chose to fund explosive growth in communist China instead of in their own country.

The aspect ratio is slightly wrong. I wonder, why don't people care about correctly visualized, non-stretched picture. Well, I guess, they are just visually dull...

@dycarbon1 to be honest mister china is the rival of U.S.A when it comes to industry and technological advantages even japan has joined in
-
@michael918273645 very true -whether private industry or large goverments
Why does it always have to be a fucking competition? What is wrong with China adopting new technology? It's not like its doing the world any harm!

I'm confused. The point of maglev is that it gives you an insanely fast train but it's insanely expensive. If you built a maglev that will only do 100mph then you lose the insanely fast part but keep the insane cost. It's easy to build conventional trains that will do 100mph for *much* less than $40 million per mile so what on earth is the point of a slow maglev?
