I was not surprised to learn today that China now has the fastest train in the world. It appears that they have been working hard to expand their train system and have taken advantage of new technologies to do so. Their newest train can reach a peak speed of 217 miles per hour and links the cities of Guangzhou and Wuhan. This means that travelers can make the journey in about three hours.
I am glad to hear that China is becoming a more modern nation. While they may not be perfect in every way we would like, they are fast becoming a modernized nation. I am glad to welcome them to the modern world and wish them continued success in their endeavors.
