I read somewhere that this is the CRH 380A, with max speed of 380km/hr.

I would like this to be confirmed. Was the train a special one? How high speed did it showcase to the leaders? How much time does a Suzhou-Shanghai route usually take?

Yes it's CRH380A, design speed 380 km/h, operating at 300 km/h (will be increased soon awaiting announcement).

It's standard train, nothing special. The 17 state leaders were taking the "Commercial Class" (equivalent to "First Class" in aviation), fare prices higher than other cabins.

From Suzhou North Station to Shanghai Hongqiao Hub, mileage 81 km, 22 minutes non-stop.
