China’s experimental T-Flight maglev train, developed by CASIC, is pushing the boundaries of high-speed transport, targeting 965 kmh — slashing Beijing-Shanghai trips to just 1.5 hours. Early tests in 2024 hit 623 kph on a 2 km track, surpassing Japan’s maglev record, and achieved low-vacuum tube operation, critical for minimizing air resistance.

One quirky benefit of being a Communist Dictatorship is that you don't have a few dozen wealthy corporate moguls telling the gov't not to compete "against them" (hindering progress.)
