Forget SimCity to plan this baby, dust off your copies of Transportation Tycoon!
They already have Maglev in Shanghai.

What's funny is that the Chinese got all these foreign companies to bid for contracts but forced them to work with local factories to actually produce the trains. After a few years, they "digested" the knowledge and ended the contracts LOL.

Now they aquired all the technology and can build all the trains without paying a cent haha. Good ol' China. The best at copying.

The networks are huge already.
