I am from Shaghai, China. I would say that many people don’t really know about China. Some of my even said that “this can’t be China.” when I showed them the pictures of Shanghai. I want to talk about how technology has helped China to achieve such a great change.
The first example I want to talk about is the Maglev train(magnetically levitated train). The world’s first commercial application of a high-speed maglev line is the IOS (initial operating segment) demonstration line in Shanghai that transports people 30 km (18.6 miles) to the airport in just 7 minutes 20 seconds (top speed of 431 km/h or 268 mph, average speed 250 km/h or 150 mph). Other maglev applications worldwide are being investigated for feasibility. althogh there is only one in shanghai right now, but we can expect the high efficiency in the near future by buiding more.
moreover, in Hunan Province, a 30-floor building was built within only 15 days. it can resist a 9-magnitude eartquake. technology brings safty and efficiency.
