    So you're just a full-blown hyper paranoid conspiracy theorist who thinks that everyone in China is just trying to dupe you into thinking they've built trains?

      I'm sure they tried making a maglev. But I'm also sure they used a larger budget than reported, reached lower speeds than reported, and quietly swept under the rug any complaints from locals whoms living spaces were torn down to make room to build this. This is how it always goes.

        You can literally watch videos of the Shanghai Maglev, on YouTube, right now. It connects the city to the airport, and Shanghai is a major business hub, westerners go there all the time.

        Always funny to me how you guys burned in your mind that China is ontologically bad so hard that you just throw accusation of lying without any evidence. You just suppose shit and don't see any problem because to you China is a bad evil country is self evident and so anything that potentialy corroborate this "truth" has to be true.

        You can just google shanghai maglev, it makes the journey in about 8 minutes, sometimes less.

        I've done this before with other "china experts" who believed such silly things as that Winny The Pooh was banned in China, but they never let reality get in the way of their pre-conceived notions, or examined how they got those erroneous views.
