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.
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.
