A very offhand question, just putting it out there. During that whole cold war era, how did the Latin American countries articulate their anti-totalitarianism? Did they have a deep, spiritual opposition to the whole concept of totalitarianism, or were they merely American client states, dominated by the US economically. The US deep state and a fairly large portion of the population do not seem to be moved or impressed by such expressions. What they( that type) care about is "Hey, do they buy weapons from us, and do our companies have a huge presence in their economies, including controlling most of their mineral wealth. And do they keep the Russians out" If you think about it, having a spiritual, philosophical opposition to communism and totalitarianism, would almost invariably have as a corollary, a deep opposition to imperialism and domination/hegemony by certain countries.

Lol. What a dufus, this thread is about Chinese economy and the 100 ways it’s going sideways
This thread is not about worshipping Chinese economy and consuming all Chinese propaganda encouraging other Indians to do so as well

Electro-magneticism -- another new propulsion form that China is taking a lead in:
Same tech is being perfected on the EM catapults of Chinese warships!

Eh?! If the top speed is 600 kph why does a distance of ~ 1025 kms take 3 hrs 17 min to complete the journey ?!
It should be less than 2 hrs. Even assuming it's 550 kph , the distance should be covered in 2 hrs. Quite obviously your MAGLEVS are running at 450 kph to cover 1025 kms in 3 hrs 17 min .

AI automated cars are not happening. If you read any news you will realize that it is an unbounded problem that requires artificial general intelligence.Neither US nor China have AGI capabilities so a lot of full self driving programs in US are being shut down with a fall back to driver assistance. Driver assistance has been around for 30-40 years.
Cruise recalls all of its self driving cars to fix their programming | CNN Business
Cruise, General Motors’ self-driving vehicle subsidiary, has recalled all 950 of its autonomous vehicles for a software update. Late last month, Cruise paused all its public testing operations while it investigated the incident that led to the recall.
China is not ahead of Us in this domain and does not have self driving cars. Auto parking is not AI. It uses preprogrammed maps and fixed routes to navigate the car. That is not AI, just a convenience feature. In Indian Chinese conditions, it won’t work everywhere except 1-2 malls maybe in big cities.
dont make an ass of yourself talking about topics like this. A driver will be able to take me everywhere in any situation and deal with complexities the automated car features simply cannot handle.

Where did I say auto parking==AI
I am specifically speaking regarding AI enabled cars and I didn't bring India into discussion
But comparing AI enabled cars or technological advanced to drivers doesn't make sense at all
Afterall everybody understands who is making ass of itself here
Coming to automated cars yes things need get refined and capabilities need to be expanded
One day we will definitely have successful automated automobiles but for that we need to work on that direction and few companies are very much into it
I remember many getting hyper with one of the most baseless concept of hyperloop and terming superior to maglev trains
But we know whats practical today
Time will definitely speak but in favour of those who work in a particular direction

New high-speed railway paves way for seamless tourism in east China
(Xinhua) 15:04, December 27, 2023
NANCHANG, Dec. 27 (Xinhua) -- A new high-speed railway connecting a series of popular tourist attractions in east China commenced full operation on Wednesday, which is poised to boost the development of tourism and other industries.
The entire 560-km-long Hangzhou-Nanchang high-speed railway is now operational after the section connecting Huangshan City in Anhui Province and Nanchang City in Jiangxi Province was officially put into use following over five years of construction.
The Hangzhou-Huangshan section, which kicked off operation in late 2018, has a designed speed of 250 km per hour, while the Huangshan-Nanchang section boasts a designed speed of 350 km per hour.
The railway route passes through a region rich in tourist attractions featuring scenic lakes, mountains, ancient villages and cultural treasures like porcelain and tea.
In addition to nine top-level national sightseeing spots, such as UNESCO World Heritage sites like the West Lake and Huangshan Mountain, as well as the world-famous "porcelain capital" Jingdezhen, over 70 scenic spots with a 4A-level rating, the second-highest in the country's tourism evaluation system, are located along the railway.
High-speed railway has become a preferred transportation choice among Chinese travelers. As of the end of November, the total operation mileage of China's high-speed railway network totaled 43,700 km.

China's high-speed rail journey on faster track in 2023
(Xinhua) 08:15, December 27, 2023
TIANJIN, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- Every workday, Wang Manman takes the high-speed train from the Chinese city of Tianjin to Beijing, with a journey that takes just around 20 minutes. During the morning rush hour, she has the flexibility to choose from over 10 trains.
Passengers read magazines, bury themselves in their phones, or simply doze off while waiting to arrive.
"It is fast and very convenient, just like taking a subway ride," Wang said.

In 2008, the year China hosted the Summer Olympic Games, the Beijing-Tianjin Intercity Railway, with a design speed of 350 km per hour, entered operation, unveiling a fast-expanding modern high-speed railway network in the world's second-largest economy.
China, originally a latecomer to modern transport, now has the world's largest high-speed railway network. As of the end of November, the total operation mileage of China's railway network exceeded 155,500 km, including 43,700 km of high-speed railways.
China's rail development continues to speed ahead in 2023, with the launch of more lines aimed at fostering economic and social development within the country and beyond.
One of the most notable additions to China's vast high-speed rail network this year is the Fuzhou-Xiamen-Zhangzhou railway, the country's fastest cross-sea high-speed rail, where trains reach a maximum speed of 350 km per hour along the west coast of the Taiwan Strait.
Starting operation on Sept. 28, the 277-km railway slashes travel time between the cities of Fuzhou and Xiamen, both in east China's Fujian Province, to just under an hour.

The railway features a breathtaking sea view with 19.9 km of tracks built over the sea. It will connect multiple city clusters and transform the areas of Fuzhou and Xiamen into a 1-hour living circle, officials said.
China has mastered advanced technologies for building tracks, long-span bridges, and complex tunnels in challenging geological and climatic conditions, expanding high-speed rail to remote and ethnic minority areas to foster economic and social development.
In late November, a 238-km section of the Sichuan-Qinghai railway in western China became operational after 12 years of construction, providing high-speed train travel options for Maoxian, the largest county inhabited by the Qiang ethnic group.
In the same month, the railway connecting the captivating city of Lijiang and Shangri-la in southwest China's Yunnan Province opened to traffic. The new line will boost tourism and industrial development, particularly benefiting Shangri-la in the Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.
In August, the Guiyang-Nanning High-speed Railway started full operation, linking the capital cities of Guizhou Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The railway, designed for a top speed of 350 km per hour, is the first of its kind in both Guizhou and Guangxi, known for their karst landscapes.

High-speed rail is symbolic of the new structure of the Chinese economy, influencing all aspects of society.
From January to November, a total of 3.56 billion railway passenger trips were made nationwide, more than double from the same period last year, the China State Railway Group Co., Ltd. (China Railway) said.
To meet booming travel demand, China Railway has improved its railway operating plan and increased transport capacity. The average daily number of passenger trains reached 9,638 in China, a year-on-year increase of 52 percent.
China's high-speed railway has also gone global.
The latest example is the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway in Indonesia, officially launched in October. It is the first overseas high-speed railway project fully utilizing Chinese railway systems, technology, and industrial components.

With a design speed of 350 km per hour, the 142.3-km high-speed railway shortens the journey between Indonesia's capital, Jakarta, and Bandung, a famous tourist city. It has handled more than 1 million passenger trips.
The train service can bring lots of convenience to locals and help boost the economy along the route, said Juni Stefanus Santoso, a 23-year-old Indonesian student who is studying at Tianjin-based Tiangong University.
"China's high-speed rail provides more countries and regions with the opportunity to join the fast track of shared development," said Cong Yi, vice president of Tianjin Administrative Institute. "In the future, it will continue to contribute to China's modernization and opening up, and promote global balanced, coordinated and inclusive development."

You're acting as if you invented High Speed Rail Chang . How many such High Speed lines did you have in 2000 ?
Besides it still doesn't answer why does your MAGLEV running at 600 kph take 3 hrs 17 min to cover a distance of 1025 kms in spite of 5 scheduled halts.
