Why is Chuo Shinkansen [1] never mentioned, either in the article or in either of these two discussions? It's an actual intercity maglev line being built right now, so you'd think it would be the first thing to compare to this Chinese train?

- yorwba 7y agoIt is mentioned in the article: China isn’t the only country experimenting with maglev technology. Japan, a pioneer of high-speed rail, broke its own world record, hitting 603 km/h during a test run of an SC Maglev train in 2015. The country is building a new maglev line between Tokyo and Nagoya, scheduled to open in 2027.
