I saw this being played all over the Chinese news yesterday, pretty crazy. The "suites" inside looked pretty darn nice, WAY better than the seats currently found on the G trains Beijing-Tianjin or Shanghai-Hangzhou/Nanjing. I don't know much about the other G trains going up in China and how it compares to this newest one.

Here's the China Daily article:
