China set to build new 'supersonic' train

Julie has partnered with the Chinese Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation to develop a network of ultra-fast trains. These trains will utilize magnetic levitation to float above tracks, reducing friction and increasing speed. Similar to the Hyperloop, they will travel through vacuum tubes to minimize air resistance. Although not supersonic, these trains will initially reach speeds of up to 1000 km/h, with plans to achieve 4000 km/h in the future.

What is the initial speed the trains are expected to travel at?

What is the future speed goal for the ultra fast trains?
