I found the following on the Jane's website. Unfortunately, I can't afford the full subscription, so I couldn't see the whole story.



--------------- CHINA'S TGV MUST HURRY The world's high-speed rail projects are often a shambolic on-off affair. China is no exception. An enormous amount of money is being expended upgrading its far-reaching rail network to deal with the rapidly expanding demand for transportation. Some are speaking of up to 8,000km of high-speed track being required. The jewel in the crown of these developments is a proposed 1,400km high-speed link between China's capital Beijing, and its business centre, Shanghai.

What's strange about this is Beijing is set to be swallowed by approaching sand from the Gobi desert in the coming decades. Why make a big rail investment when it'll just be under dunes?

I expect they'll have a sign in all 300+ languages saying "Would the last one to leave please turn the lights out"
