On June 30, the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway, covering the 1,318 kilometers between China’s two most important cities at approximately 300 kilometers per hour, began operating, timed to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. The rolling stock for China’s CRH380A bullet train is based on technology from Kawasaki Heavy Industries, whereas the German company Siemens provided the technology for the CRH380B.
如今新干线的最大舞台则是经济飞速发展的中国大地。在6月30日，京沪高速铁路正式通车，将北京上海这两个中国最重要的城市直接联系起来，路线长度1318公里，行车时速约每小时300公里，同时也作为对中国共产党建党90周年的献礼。而这款CRH380A型机车的技术正是源自于日本川崎重工，而德国西门子则为另外一款CRH380B型机车提供技术。
