While Kenya struggles to repay a loan for a Dinosaur era train system pale China wako na mashine inaweza speed ya 600KPH
Stupid jealous AmeriCUNTS will now impose sanctions on China because Elon Musk’s Train System is years behind schedule
A new high-speed transportation system is taking shape in China.
On Thursday, state-owned China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) unveiled a prototype for a new high-speed magnetic-levitation — better known as “maglev” — train that could dramatically cut travel times in the nation.
“The prototype has already achieved static levitation and is in ideal condition,” CRCC Qingdao’s deputy chief engineer Ding Sansan said at a news conference, according to a report by China Daily. “We are building an experimental center and a trial production center for high-speed maglev trains and expect to put them into operation in the second half of the year.”
This new design would be able to far exceed the speed of that maglev, reaching a top speed of 600 kilometers per hour (372 miles per hour). Ding used a theoretical journey between Beijing and Shanghai to show how this could dramatically decrease travel times.

So SGR is [SIZE=3][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]chieth[/SIZE] to them? Kweli Africa is a group of ‘shit countries’
Africa is inhabited by wild animals that have slight intelligence to know about nakedness. Those animals are called Africans. Furless apes
If Kenya wanted we would have gotten such bt mwafrika anapewa pesa ya train kama hii bt he opts to go for a cheaper one so that amange pesa.
Kwani umekuwa ukiishi shimo gani buda? Surely this has been in the news since 2006.
China stole this technology from Germany and Japan. They stole it straight up and with a very straight face.
They hacked computers, they stole drawings. Japan abandoned this story after kuona it’s a court battle they will never win.
That Maglev you are tlking about of 2006 had speeds of only 350Kph and was prone to thunder storms, this one is much more improved. China is the NEXT Superpower. Akina Japan na USA will only sit and watch.
Kuna ngombe ingine ilikula pesa ya eastern bypass, i curse him lika saa napita hapo
@patco kuja utete your slave master coz kazi yako ni kuabudu America kama Mungu.
They stole this technology from Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) as well as Germany’s ThyssenKrupp and Siemens.
The Germans and Japanese thought they were working with good friends… they thought they would get tenders to build high speed rails in China… walishangaa sana, tena sana. :D:D
Their computers were hacked at night. Design zote zikaenda.
And these companies had been warned even by American intelligence but tumbo zikawapeleka huko ati wafanye chini ya maji.
After stealing, China suffered a number of very insane accidents with high speed rail. I believe two major accidents with numerous casualties. It was a serious setback sijui kama round this wamefaulu.
China is the world leader in the following fields as of today 10/6/2019

Long live Chairman Xi, lakini sisi hatuna haraka. Where would I be going at 600km/hr?
Unajua hamfuatagi news nyinyi. Hata tumebishana hii story papa hapa some time back. Team China waliumia roho sana.
Hii technology China waliiba and within 22 months they had all the high speed rail know-how they needed.
Imefanywa hadi documentaries. In 2011 China suffered a serious high speed rail accident ndio hii hapa:
Wenzhou train collision - Wikipedia
40 people died. The Chinese rushed the stolen technology. In this particular incident this is the train and rail design they stole from Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries. But waliiba without all the info and rushed the project. Ikakuwa hasara.
The Chinese govt. tried to cover up. They even tried to bury the trains ndio ukweli isijulikane of their mediocre work. The public was angry and this,set back Chinese high speed rail for several years.
And obviously the Japanese and the Germans were reluctant to offer any more advice. Hii sio research ya mchezo bana. Even the mzungus are taking their time.
Going past 300kph and you are carrying hundreds of people sio kitu ya kucheza nayo. Be it maglev or bullet train.
Most talkers ata SGR hawajapanda. I took 1st class to Mombaza and the service and speed were good. Can more peasants first sample train hii yetu before talking sijui about Magarian speed trains
na mnashuka na peasants wa 1k, just a waste of money
Mbona unaficha jina ya hiyo ng’ombe
Let’s hope it is improved. The technology has existed for quite some time but even the West are reluctant because of the SAFETY measures required to operate at some of these speeds.
Ni kama gari. It’s very easy to build a car that can do 500Kph or even 1000Kph, the technology to go that fast exists… it existed even in the 1950s but the brakes, the tyres, shell of the car ndio shida. Materials that can withstand the stress.
Plus who can drive at that speed? Can you even corner a car at 500kph without dying?
The same with trains. Going fast is possible but can you do it daily and safely. Hio ndio kizungu mkuti.
Sasa China walifikiria ati ndio hizo drawings, rail measurements, materials to be used wametuletea… tuko tiyari sisi. Hii kitu ni one touch. Tutafanya zote bullet na maglev we prove to the world…
You are talking about the shinkansen “bullet train”, hiyo nayo waliiba. Those two firms were given big contracts on condition that lazima kuwe na technology transfer, njaa yao made them only see the revenue.
That said, its a very different technology to this.
[SIZE=7]BULLET TRAIN (Japan):[/SIZE]
[SIZE=7]Did China steal Japan’s high-speed train?[/SIZE]
By MICHAEL FITZPATRICK
April 15, 2013
FORTUNE — One China defender recently claimed his countryman’s “bandit innovators” could be good for the world. That was small consolation for the Japanese, who say that China pirated their world-famous bullet train technology.
“Don’t worry too much about Chinese companies imitating you, they are creating value for you down the road,” said Li Daokui, a leading Chinese economist at the Institute for New Economic Thinking’s conference. Such “bandit innovators,” he expanded, would eventually grow the market, leading to benefits for everybody.
Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI), maker of Japan’s legendaryShinkansen bullet trains, bitterly disagrees. After signing technology transfers with CSR Sifang, the builder of China’s impressive, new high-speed rail, KHI says it deeply regrets its now-dissolved partnership. It planned to sue its previously junior partner for patent infringement, but it backed down recently.

Risk analyst Michal Meidan of Eurasia Group believes KHI is wise to drop the IP suit and stay out of China. “Every firm working in the high-tech space in China should be aware of the risks related to weak IP protection in the country but often has few choices but to go into these agreements if it wants to gain market share there,” she says. “The intense competition prompts companies to make concessions on technology transfers, as the Chinese are very good at playing off the competition.”
What could drive the normally unlitigious Japanese into such a frenzy? Not only did China copy their technology, say the Japanese, after patenting remarkably similar high-speed-rail (HSR) tech, CSR now wants to sell it to the rest of the world — as Chinese made. Both Japanese and European rail firms now find themselves frozen out and competing with their former Chinese collaborators for new contracts, inside and outside China.
With a diminishing domestic market, Japan’s train industry is hoping to pick up orders abroad for its HSR. Before China stepped in, undercutting Japanese offers by about half, Japan looked very attractive to foreign buyers with its record for fast, reliable train systems.
With more than 300 million annual riders, Japan’s Shinkansen — 50 years old next year — trains carry more passengers than those of any other HSR system. It has suffered no fatal accidents. The U.K. was impressed enough to complete a 540 billion yen deal with Hitachi, which also builds Shinkansen, to supply bullet trains by 2016.

The Motherland of train travel is not alone. Everyone is shopping around for high-speed solutions including the U.S., as the $180 billion global rail industry continues to boom.
Outside of Britain, Japan could easily find itself edged out by the Chinese competition. This makes KHI’s Harada Takuma, who worked on the Chinese collaboration, very angry. Under the licensing agreements with KHI, China’s use of the expertise and blueprints to develop high-speed railway cars was to be limited to domestic application, he explains. “We didn’t think it was not risky. But we took on the project because terms and conditions under the tech transfer should have been binding. We had a legal agreement; we felt safe.” :D:D
The Chinese authorities, for their part, see no problem. As Beijing busies itself filing for HSR patents abroad, it claims China developed her own HSR based on Japanese and German technologies which it claims were merely “digested.” When it was suggested that China trains were mere knockoffs at a press conference in China recently, the Ministry of Railways spokesman asserted that China’s HSR was far superior to Japan’s Shinkansen, and that the two “cannot be mentioned in the same breath.”
Others, such as a few Chinese engineers, have admitted no real innovation. That they were “just standing on the shoulders of giants” as one rail technician put it. Wherever the truth lies exactly, KHI’s train technology transfer saga is unlikely to be over soon.

When German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier visited China on Wednesday, he had more on his agenda than the usual diplomatic niceties. Freedom of the press? Human rights? Those are important issues, of course, but Steinmeier isnt traveling alone in China. He’ll be accompanied by a business delegation including representatives from a dozen German companies. They’re interested in a completely different issue, one that could gradually threaten the very existence of many a small to mid-sized German company.

Politely put, these business executives are concerned about what some would call the German-Chinese technology transfer. But to be blunt, they’re really incensed about China’s growing large-scale theft of ideas and patents, trademark and product piracy. And Steinmeier on Wednesday managed to voice his disapproval even within the constraints of diplo-speak. “We have to discuss the Chinese government’s attitude on this question,” the German foreign minister said.
Never before have the Chinese robbed the West of so much and such sensitive merchandise. Fully 70 percent of all illegal copycat products come from Asia, and most of that comes from China, in what has mushroomed into a $300 billion market. And the issue is no longer just a pair of poorly copied Adidas running shoes or a plastic version of a Gucci watch. More recently, the Chinese and others have taken to pirating expensive, high-tech knowledge, allowing them to duplicate entire machines and systems.
Some companies discover copies of their own equipment at trade shows, copies that are sometimes almost identical with the original product, down to the very last solder joint and paint color. Others, on the other hand, suffer because the fakes are of such poor quality that they threaten to ruin the real brand’s reputation.
A major capital of patent theft
“More than half of the companies affected by patent theft have had these experiences in China,” says Heiko Beploat of the German Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing Association. For a country like Germany, which derives much of its economic advantage from innovation and cutting-edge technology, this is a threatening development.
This rising menace facing the West was amplified by two reports that came out shortly before Steinmeier’s trip to China. In the first case, European Aeronautic and Space Company (EADS) subsidiary Airbus announced that it plans to build its own plant in China, news that promptly set off a heated debate over the need to protect European aircraft construction secrets. In the second, China announced that it was beginning trial runs of its own magnetic levitation train – less than two years after the opening of Shanghai’s German-designed Transrapid system. It was an announcement that smelled strongly of industrial espionage. :D:D
While Airbus still has faith in the East as a land of opportunity, the Transrapid consortium of German industrial giants Siemens and ThyssenKruppp is already experiencing the uglier side of China’s economic boom. Both cases ultimately revolve around the same fundamental issue: To what extent should, can or must German, European and Western companies kowtow to the rising economic power in hopes of generating future business? Airbus need only look to Transrapid to see the dangers that may await: the gradual threat of know-how theft.
[SIZE=6]The history of China’s new magnetic levitation rail system is instructive. Whereas Germany’s Transrapid has been tested on a stretch of track in the country’s northern Emsland region since 1983, the Chinese version – led by Chinese engineer Wu Xiangming, nicknamed Commander Wu – only took 22 months to build. The 30-kilometer (18 mile) stretch of magnetic track went up on the perimeter of Shanghai at the behest of the Chinese government. The rapid completion, of course, was made possible because the German companies involved contributed funding, top-notch personnel and expertise. A Sino-German joint-venture company oversaw the project.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=7]But the cooperation turned sour in December 2004, when Chinese engineers broke into the Transrapid maintenance room in the middle of the night and took measurements of the new train. The bizarre incident was even captured on film, and German economic weekly Wirtschaftswoche speculated that it was a case of Transrapid technology theft. :D:D:D[/SIZE]
Still lacking key technologies
The story generated a tremendous uproar, but it went away as quickly as it had appeared. The German end of the consortium did its best to limit the damage, especially in light of the fact that Shanghai is its only showcase for its prestigious train. Both ThyssenKrupp and Siemens hope – at the very least – to land the contract for construction of an extension of the system to Hangzhou, an industrial city 160 kilometers (about 100 miles) from Shanghai. But ever since the nighttime spying incident, the Chinese members of the consortium have proven expert at subterfuge, camouflage and stalling, until Commander Wu announced the Chinese maglev project last week.
Despite its history, the Chinese project shouldn’t really come as a surprise. Engineers at China’s Chengdu Aircraft Industrial Group have been tinkering with magnetic technology since 1986. In 2001, The Changchun Railway Vehicles unveiled a competing project in northeastern China. And the Transrapid project in China has been designed – from the selection of the militarily secured production sites to assembly instructions – in such a way that has allowed Chinese engineers to acquire as much Western knowledge as possible.
Though the evidence of industrial espionage is hard to ignore, executives at Siemens and ThyssenKrupp continue to play down the incident, claiming that the Chinese still lack key technologies, such as the system’s highly complex control software. At least, so goes their thinking, they might be able to earn a bit of money on blueprints and patents – almost all concrete Transrapid plans have gone up in smoke in recent years.
And who should they sue? ThyssenKrupp is hoping for major steel contracts in China. Siemens is spending billions on new plant construction in the country, where it already manufactures everything from semiconductors to microelectronic components. The last thing it needs is to quarrel with the government. The two companies seem unwilling to risk so much for a technology that, while popular, has failed to generate many customers outside of China.
Transrapid, of course, isn’t alone: Many Western companies, from Shell to Volkswagen, are competing for attention from the Chinese government. VW, for example, is helping Chinese engineers at Tongji build a hybrid engine scheduled for completion by the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. The Stuttgart-based Institute of Internal Combustion Engines and Automotive Engineering is helping build China’s first wind tunnel. There are many other similar cooperative ventures, and the most important raw material they’re bringing into the People’s Republic is knowledge.₩
