🚄 Shanghai to Beijing in Just 2.5 Hours?

China’s newest maglev marvel is turning science fiction into your next commute.

Unveiled at Modern Railways 2025 in Beijing, the new superconducting maglev train can reach 600 km/h, slashing travel time between Shanghai and Beijing to as little as 2.5 hours.

Sleek, silent, and sustainable, this next-gen train glides on magnetic levitation—no wheels at top speed—and blends AI, 5G, and carbon fiber design for maximum comfort and efficiency.

Think faster than a plane, smoother than a bullet train, and greener than both.

The future of travel? It might already be on track.

Starting June 28, only power banks with the official 3C logo will be allowed on domestic flights in China.

✅ What’s allowed:
✔ Devices with a clear China Compulsory Certification (CCC/3C) mark
❌ What’s not allowed:
✖ No 3C logo
✖ Damaged or unclear labels
✖ Products flagged in safety recalls

This move comes after several fire incidents on flights involving uncertified batteries. Airport security teams are tightening checks—your power bank will be scrutinized at screening.

💡 What to do before you fly:
🔍 Check your power bank for the 3C logo
📲 Verify product model info online
🚫 Leave uncertified ones at home

Don’t let a power bank ruin your summer trip! Stay informed, stay safe.

Look out for that CCC logo!
