So you're just a full-blown hyper paranoid conspiracy theorist who thinks that everyone in China is just trying to dupe you into thinking they've built trains?
I'm sure they tried making a maglev. But I'm also sure they used a larger budget than reported, reached lower speeds than reported, and quietly swept under the rug any complaints from locals whoms living spaces were torn down to make room to build this. This is how it always goes.
You can literally watch videos of the Shanghai Maglev, on YouTube, right now. It connects the city to the airport, and Shanghai is a major business hub, westerners go there all the time.

Always funny to me how you guys burned in your mind that China is ontologically bad so hard that you just throw accusation of lying without any evidence. You just suppose shit and don't see any problem because to you China is a bad evil country is self evident and so anything that potentialy corroborate this "truth" has to be true.

Do NOT Google Robert Moses. Biggest mistake of my life
Can I get any sources for your ravings?
Here's a source from the World Bank
Over the past decade, China has built 25,000 km of dedicated high-speed railway—more than the rest of the world combined.
Even the high priests of capital cannot ignore what are basic facts of infrastructure.
"This is how it always goes (when we in the west do it, and there's no way those orientals could be better at anything than we superior Aryans)."

You can just google shanghai maglev, it makes the journey in about 8 minutes, sometimes less.
I've done this before with other "china experts" who believed such silly things as that Winny The Pooh was banned in China, but they never let reality get in the way of their pre-conceived notions, or examined how they got those erroneous views.
