Chinese Trains Aim To Beat the TGV in 2011

China’s rail network is already the longest operational railway in the world with over 7,500 kilometers of track, but that's not enough. Next year trains hope to beat the 574.8 km/h speed record set by the French in 2007. Last Friday the CRH-380A reached the impressive speed of 486.1 km/h, but will 12 months be enough for engineers to squeeze another 100 km/h out of it?
