Say what you will about their wholesale lifting of other countries' technology and IP.

 

China is investing in their domestic infrastructure while we dither over cutting taxes for the rich and sending more troops to overseas wastelands.

 

Someone's going to come out ahead in this.

Hey Mudkip, didn't you get the memo, we 'Mericans love our cars and our individualist, frontier spirit just doesn't jibe with riding trains which don't take us door to door, plus those trains are suspiciously collectivist, yeah, shall I say socialist- no wonder they're so popular in China and in Europe, which is socialist, ah... yeah, that's right.  Anyway, we can still make stuff- just kickass bitchen stuff like weapons that take out those people who hate our freedoms, I'll gladly pay taxes for these- yeeeeehaw!!

At this rate, China will hit 500 kph in a year or two.  I am glad for once a country is willing to invest trillion of dollars into something that actual citizens and the environment will benefit from.

Is this thing Chinese or Japanese?  Some of their high-speed rolling stock is similar to the Nagano Shinkansen rolling stock (Kawasaki?).

[to2leo]

I think it is some of this (Germany), some of that (Japan) and many of this (China).

The record breaking train is the CRH380A, which looking at the profile carbody shape (cross section is square) is like the KHI E2 type, with bogies similar to the Siemens ICE types.  The Japanese newspapers are outright declaring it as a variation of the E2.

 

Interesting fact about the Alstom type (CRH5), Alstom wanted to sell to China, but didn't want to give way their latest technology, so they sold a non-tilting version (basically a pendolino without the pendo...)
