Maglevs? Sure, they make sense when you have a billion people living in each others pockets. These sorts of developments become viable only with the sorts of huge population densities that are also resulting in huge psychological issues, depression and suicides from people being forced to live their lives in conditions no-one should have to endure.
So to those Chines folk: enjoy your maglev. May it shine a tiny beacon of happiness in your otherwise miserable life of being a slave to the city until you can scratch together enough money to get the hell out of there like the rest of that growing middle class.
