For all those who are shouting from every rooftop about the coming india-china parity, this should have some sinking feeling. the fastest rail service in india i.e. delhi-bhopal link runs on sustained speed of 100kmph (around 70 mph), around one third of what china is planning to execute. hmm.. that should sober them down.. but hey! look at the bright side, the americans too don't fare that well.
