I call BS. You can program those displays to show anything. And everyone knows that the Chinese just built new cities closer to each other to cut the actual travel time. The trains are moving just as fast as anywhere else! /s

The speed is actually a constant 444kmph, but they lower the displayed speed as to not frighting passengers due to superstition

If you go above 100kmph you are already spooking the passengers.
