Maglev China

But for many here, the symbolic end came in May, with the suspension of the maglev project, his greatest, and certainly the Chen era’s most extravagant dream.

For many, the suspension in the face of widespread public opposition signaled the end of an era of top-down, megadevelopment, with attendant opportunities for high-level corruption, and the beginning of an era one in which the voice of China’s growing middle class can no longer be ignored.

“The public is concerned with the electromagnetism of the train, and the government is studying this, and that is one of the reasons the project has been stopped,” a People’s Congress official was quoted as saying in The China Business Journal in one of many news reports that suggested that residents’ complaints had played a major role in the suspension.
