The post triggered discussion among netizens on China’s high-speed rail system.
“Have to say bullet train is the best surprise I found when I went home. It shorten my trip from the airport to home. I wish U.S. or California rather can have make it available,” a netizen said.
Another netizen said: “When I travelled through China it was in cars with frilly curtains and trains/plains with curtains… 1989. A lot has changed.”
This is not the first time the Ambassador has expressed his appreciation for China’s high-speed rail.
On June 12th, 2022, Burns posted a photograph on Twitter in which he sits by the window of a Fuxing bullet train as it arrived in central China’s Henan, saying “Just crossed the Yellow River in Henan at the rapid clip of 308 km/h on this impressive 复兴号 train. Destination #Wuhan.”
China’s Fuxing trains operate at a speed of 350 km/h on 1,910-kilometer lines, including the Beijing-Shanghai, Beijing-Tianjin, Beijing-Zhangjiakou, and Chengdu-Chongqing routes.
China is the only country in the world with commercially operated high-speed rail trains that travel at 350 km/h. The network stretches from northeast forests and snowy plains to the Yangtze River Delta in the south, from the northwest Gobi Desert to the eastern coast of the East China Sea, traversing rivers and mountains to reach every corner of the country.

NOTE: The US Biden Administration, not content with its out-of-control gun crime, its homegrown far-right terrorist threat, its unbridled support for Neo-Nazism in the Ukraine (and throughout Eastern Europe), its destruction of the world capitalist system (through its mindless sanction inflicted on Russia for opposing said Neo-Nazism) and its seeming inability to medically-control the Covid-19 and Monkeypox infections spreading through its own poverty-stricken populations – now has to contend with a feral ‘Ambassador’ who apparently has ‘gone native’ (as the British say) – misusing his Twitter Account to spread unwarranted ‘Pro-China Propaganda’! A Spokesman from Viz magazine is reported as saying ‘This is exactly what happens when reality contradicts perception – we all end-up rushing to purchase copies of Sartre’s ‘Being and Nothingness’ – a process which only enriches the very American system causing all the trouble!’
