    wait what's the meta on gadgetbahns these days? I don't really see what's wrong with this because even if it's impractical or limited in other ways it's still an engineering achievement that advances China's technical capabilities in ways that might be hard to see right now.

    EDIT: No creativity allowed if you're an engineer. Only do things already proven to work. No innovation, only work. Like, what? Maybe I'm being dense. Help me out here, please.

      It’s a product that looks very high tech and fancy without offering any actual benefit over proven existing technology, usually for the purpose of convincing some small branch of the government to find some silly project.
