World records:

>The world record for a conventional wheeled passenger train is held by France's TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse), set in 2007 when it reached 574.8 km/h (357.2 mph) on a 140 km section of track.[1]

>Japan's experimental maglev train L0 Series achieved 603 km/h (375 mph) on a 42.8 km magnetic levitation track in 2015

I daresay it might be a record for China.

Not even a record for China. Seems to be a record just for that train, or that train on that track, or something. Hard to say...
