150 km from Shanghai to HangZhou in 15 minutes. By rail...
Overcoming this way in specified a short time will be possible if there is simply a railway line in the hyperloop system. It's a concept of a train moving on a magnetic cushion inside a vacuum pipe. The deficiency of friction, guaranteed by magnetic cushions, as well as the deficiency of air resistance, is intended to make the train decision at a velocity of wet 1000 km/h.
Engineers and scientists from the Chinese investigation and improvement Institute of Railways informed that they are working on a feasibility survey of hyperlop connections of the following urban couples:
- Beijing (BeiJing, 北京) – ShiJiaZhuang (石家庄), a 250 km long line,
- Canton (GuangZhou, 广州) – ShenZhen (深圳), line 160 km,
- ChengDu (成都) – ChongQing (重庆), line 170 km
- Shanghai (Shanghai, 上海) – HangZhou (杭州), line 150 km.
There is already a 15-kilometre test section built in DaTong village (chin. 大同) in the northern state of ShanXi (chin. 山西).
By the end of this year, the experimental way will scope 60 km long, allowing full investigating of trains.

Developing satellite networks
China without haste, but step by step, systematically, builds its network of communication satellites. It will yet consist of 13,000 satellites placed in low Earth orbit (500 -1200 km).
This task is crucial from the point of view of space exploration, economics and navigation on land and seas. The United States has been developing its network for years, although it touring in orbit 500 km.
Satellite networks are an essential part of the planning and implementation of space missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond.
In 2030 China plans to carry out a manned mission to the Moon, and in 2040 launch a permanent manned base.

Opinions on China
Peter Wennink, president of the Dutch ASML, the world's largest maker of the most advanced lithographic machines for the production of integrated circuits/chips:
"It was predicted that China would search to make its own semiconductor production machines erstwhile they could not buy these devices from abroad manufacturers".
Winnink expects the sale of ASML to China to increase, as Chinese chip manufacturers are in a hurry to buy those machines that are not yet subject to restrictions imposed by the United States.
He is not worried that rivals, besides in China, are close to building, competing for ASML the most modern lithographic machines to produce the most advanced chips. He said it could happen soon. It is no little essential that ASML proceed to have access to the Chinese marketplace as it is the world's largest computer chip market.
