    Chinese high speed train is so stable, you can balance a coin on its side, and it won’t fall over. It’s like sitting in a quiet room, while you are shooting across the surface of the earth at 350 km/h. No need to take the plane for medium trips too, since train stations can be in the city it’s much more convenient. To get on the train you only need your ID and can arrive and get on the train in a dozen minutes.

      American trains are so silent, you can run them off the tracks and then cause a giant chemical explosion whose ecological fallout is yet to be quantified, and you won’t hear anything about it for a whole month

        They gave that video “mixed” rating, in clear try to not admit it. While they even say it themselves, that reality is worse than in that video, since it was sped up and the trains really move 7 times slower 😂

          Yeah I don’t get that:

          The creator of the video noted in the YouTube video description that the first 52 seconds showed sped-up video. In reality, the train carefully advanced on the tracks about seven times slower than what appeared in the video.

          The video admits the video was sped-up, and then snopes notes that “however” it was sped up?
