| Hey Давид, I have no idea how much China spent on the Maglev. It sounds like a cool concept and it must be a real thrill to travel in. However, ask any chinese on the street and they will tell how much much debt china is putting itself into because of the Maglev and how unsensible that decision is. Germany, USA and Japan all have the technology and money to build the Maglev by why didnt they do it? Because it doesnt make sense economically. Shanghai is JUST trying to use the Maglev to showcase Shanghai and thats it. You shouldn't caompare 1.5 billions USD in monentary value to an economy such as the USA. Thats like Bill Gate telling an average Shanghai white collar that 1000 USD is peanuts! I agree with you Stephen. |
