JR Tokai CEO to China: Our Maglev will play iPad to your toy

 ‘‘[Shanghai's] can be compared to a toy for elementary schoolchildren, while our maglev train can be compared to an iPad,’’  the JR Tokai CEO
Reality check Yamada-san!!!

Shanghai's maglev train:
  1. Operational
  2. Has been in service for 8 years
  3. Made by the Germans
JR Tokai's maglev:
  1. Wont be here before 2027
  2. The 10cms you boost about aren't realistic, but maybe they will be by 2027(??)
  3. Will cost more than Shanghai's maglev
The iPad is:
  1. NOT Japanese tech
  2. Assembled in China
