"but most part of our high speed rail still relied to our brilliant engineers." - like what? Please elaborate, I'd love to hear more about the 'brilliant' contribution of Chinese engineers.
You mean the Galaxy interconnect that couple massively parallel GPUs with multi-core CPUs. The Galaxy interconnect CPU the Galaxy FT-1000 is based on the opensource Sun Microsystems UltraSPARC T2 design.
Next argument or racial insult please, either is fine with me
Homegrown interconnect pushes China super to No. 1 on Top 500 list - Seeking Alpha
The galaxy interconnect doesn't seem to be based on Sun Microsystems. I searched google galaxy interconnect "sun microsystems" - Google ËÑË÷
for this terms and it showed nothing other than a PakDef link. Indeed even US websites have admitted that this interconnect has nothing to do with the US.
As for the high speed trains, they run 90 km/hr faster than trains from Japan, 350 vs. 260, a 35% increase. Now, increasing speed by a huge 35% is incredibly difficult as aerodynamic drag inceases by the CUBE of the speed (roughly of course, treating velocity vectors as scalars http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_(physics)) and thus the power needed also increases to the CUBE of the speed since it is directly proportional to the FORCE needed. Now, if we COPIED the japanese trains, tell me how you get this additional force with identical equipment?
