Life in China is moving at a very fast pace.
The long distances in the vast country are now bridged by the world's fastest train, the Fu Xing, "Renaissance" which travels at 400 kilometers per hour, and is made exclusively in China.
The Renaissance made its maiden voyage last June as the speed limit on Chinese railways was raised again following a deadly crash in 2011.1250. XNUMX kilometers separate Beijing from Shanghai and the train manages to cover this distance in about four hours
China is investing in railways and has so far developed the largest rail system in the world. Emphasis is also placed on technological innovation, which is supported in high-tech areas.
Alpha was found in the Hanzhou High-Tech Zone, which aspires to become China's Silicon Valley. Colossal companies have their R&D centers there, such as Nokia, Huawei and CISCO, and is also the headquarters of the online trading company Ali Baba.
The trip to China was made at the invitation of the International Radio of China and the embassy of the People's Republic of China in Cyprus.
