As though the high-speed train

As though the high-speed train between Hangzhou and Shanghai isn't fast enough - it is about to go a whole lot faster.  

While most people know the mega cities of China such as Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou, not so many know of the second tier cities that are just as important to the future prospects of China as these Nike Shox Clearance,metropolis's are. The likes of Hangzhou, Tsingtao, Tianjing and Suzhou are well known within the country but not so well known outside the country. One of the keys to China's future is the infrastructure the Chinese government is putting in place in these cities and in particular the links they are creating between these cities and some of the larger ones.

A case in point is Suzhou. This city now has a Siemens built high-speed train that runs at just over two hundred kilometres an hour Nike Shox Cheap,and makes the travel time between Suzhou and Shanghai no more than 30 minutes. This doesn't sound like a big deal until you realise that the number one recipient of foreign direct investment (FDI) in China is Shanghai - and the number two is Suzhou. Further north there are the twin cities of Beijing and Tianjing. Neither is part of a province (like much of China) but are in fact cities/municipalities administered directly by the Central government. Where Beijing is the seat of government and the capital of the country, Tianjing is the port that sits alongside Beijing and houses much of the Nike Shox Deliver,industry that complements Beijing's economy. Being over one hundred and fifty kilometres apart is merely a stone's throw when the train is travelling at 300km/s per hour and you are arriving in Tianjing, from Beijing, in less than thirty minutes.
