@9x0rg I'd don't see why WEF, a western liberal organization, would be doing propaganda for China. The west and China aren't exactly on best of terms at the moment.
And doing new things that have never been done before is always going to be difficult. Calling this a disaster is a really weird framing to me.
Any new technology needs time to be figured out and for teething problems to get smoothed out. China is willing to think long term here and that's a good thing.
@yogthos Maybe the WEF is just a bunch of guys looking at the real world from 30,000ft high in their private jets and betting on the next profit to make?
They're nothing new in the Maglev; it's been running in SHA since 2001. And yes, it's a disaster. Ask the German consortium that built it how much it cost them, and for what benefit?
Wikipedia is quite explicit on this.
Cheers.
