China unveils new high-speed Beijing-Shanghai rail. China's 300 kmph Trains fly on Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway
China's luxury fast train debuts
China's 300km-an-hour train makes its public debut amid questions about whether the $34-billion locomotive will ever make a profit.
The multibillion-dollar plan has provoked complaints that it is too expensive for a country where millions of people still live in poverty. The government announced in April the top speed of the fastest lines would be reduced from 350 kph (220 mph) to 300 kph (190 mph) and ticket prices would be cut.
