China unveils 600 kph maglev train - state media - At 600 kph, it would
only take 2.5 hours to travel from Beijing to Shanghai by train - a
journey of more than 1,000 km (620 miles). By comparison, the journey
would take 3 hours by plane and 5.5 hours by high-speed rail.

Maglevs ought to be REAL fun to watch as they sail over the edge of a collapsed bridge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q00nTSAcMhs
I wouldn't trust Chinese infrastructure too far.
Like the USSR, they tend to build to IMPRESS.
If it all falls apart in a few years, well, there
won't be any reports.
I watch some of those shows about abandoned projects.
Have you SEEN the fate of USSR constructions ? Even
in 20 years the concrete is disintegrating - it's
even worse than US seaside condos. The structures
only had to look great long enough for foreign news
agencies to print a picture. After that ...
Oh, and TRY to sue Putin when your apartment building
implodes. Most likely you'll accidently come into contact
with some nerve-gas agent ....
Oh, and did China warn the subway riders/workers
in Hunan the other day ? Shit NO. They drowned in
the floods. Plenty more where they came from ...
