"The Coming Collapse of China" written by Gordon Chang in 2001.
- In which he predicted the collapse and eventual break up of the People's Republic of China by 2011.
- When approaching 2011, he postponed China's collapse to 2012 or 2013.
- When 2013 was nearly over, he postponed China's collapse to 2015, then 2020
- As of today, Gordon is still predicting (together with Indians) the coming collapse of China

Skytrains are better than subways in that you can admire the view all around, and now all below as well. Wonderful job Wuhan ❤

This sky train is not far from my house and my work place. Let me add some more information related:
1. the financial cost and construction time cost is much lower than a subway. this sky train line just been built in couple of months.
2. this sky train line is built for tourists not for daily passengers. ticket prices 20RMB (maybe cheaper)
3. there is subway line #11 built for Guangu center city. the line #19 is under construction and will be open in Oct ~ Dec this year. The subway ticket price starts at 2RMB.

BTW, there are some roads planned for driverless car testing in Wuhan. L2/L3 driverless systems developing is hot business in China, not subways. Actually the government is controlling the subway development in every city since the construction and operation cost is too high.

Stunning. China is a hotbed for all new infrastructure and I am here for it.

My First impression traveling to china was "amazing" such a huge and modern country with all latest technologies they made, no wonder that china become world number 1

[phrous]

No matter What media say about China, their economy and innovations are extraordinary

[xinyiquan]

it is not first driverless sky train in china, but it is first Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) driverless sky train that does not need electricity in entire world, no other country has this

[containedhurricane]

Incredible. Huge countries like the US will benefit a lot from sky trains

[girijabhavani]

Another milestone in Chinese Infrastructure.. Truly Amazing!

[tnt_pkk]

a great way to protect the environment with these type of sky train

[james_l]

These are usually only for attraction tourism sightseeing
As the train capacity & speed is limited also the number of available train (at most ~4x carriage)

[yasserhussaini]

Hats off to China for always breaking the boundaries of what's possible. 👍💪💓

[CHATTARPATISHIVAJIMAHARAJKIJAI]

Absolutely incredible, both japan and china are so developed in public transport and many other aspects too

[AlexGZ]

The future is here, and it's in China... It's amazing what sheer dedication can do

[melonlord]

When I was in middle school I often see this kind of train in futuristic theme anime like K project. To actually see this finally happened is really nice.

As a member of the ASEAN family of nations from Malaysia 🇲🇾, we are so lucky to be geographically flanked by China 🇨🇳 and India 🇮🇳 on both sides. China is a role model for our development while India is always there to scare the life out of us if we don't develop

US be like this is new threat to our national security
