Get a bottle of hot tea!

Good news for fans of Jiuzhaigou

Want to know how smooth Chinese HSR is at 308km/h?

Impressive! I wish Cheng Long (Jackie Chan) had been younger, he would do amazing moves on and around this truck.

CRRC is also a major player in the electric vehicle market.

If I recall correctly, Taiwan bought some CRRC electric buses a few years back.

This is crazy.....
Stability is Chinese high-speed railway's one prominent feature.
