China's Beijing-Shanghai Bullet Train

SnapShot Summary
-------------------------
. US$30 B Bullet Train.
. To celebrate the 90th Anniversary of Communist rule in China
. Its about 1,400 km from Shanghai to Beijing
. At 300km/hr it will take about 5 hours to arrive
. So now the Political-Commercial center of China is nearer & more assessable.
. The economy might be the biggest but the ego born out of a need to prove is also big.
