Seems to me that the Chinese are building a working prototype of the quantum computer based on light. The Americans are still experimenting with their superconducting materials.
It is like the Chinese here did one experiment to reproduce the results of that Google machine, then the Chinese took their same setup and tweaked it, improving reliability in this next build and adding the programming component. Since the Chinese version of the quantum computer is scalable, and with the recent results, they gonna start thinking big things.

This is a four-part series of conversation and interview on quantum technology, quantum supremacy, US vs China etc. They were published late last year. Interesting to read and see some of the updates and changes in the last six months or so.
Seems like they need it. It currently takes 6-7 hours to travel from Shanghai to the Greater Bay Area by regular 300kph high-speed EMUs (making required stops at junctions like Hangzhou and Changsha), and 8-9 hours from Beijing to the Greater Bay Area respectively. Business travels of more than 5 hours would be a bit too long.
That China now has its own Maglev technology is a great achievement. As for the existing Shanghai Maglev, expanding and building new routes for it then was contingent on transfer of technology.
The Germans refused to sell . It has taken the Chinese a decade or more to create their own Maglev technology which is better than the German's as it can go 600+ km/h compared to the German's maximum speed of 400+ km/h. So the Germans refusal to sell this technology was ultimately futile. Otherwise, Siemens could have pocketed some more money and seen its technology in broader use. As it is now, there is only one operational example of the Siemen's Transrapid Maglev technology in real world use ie the Shanghai to Pudong airport line.
