This is kind of misleading, China and Japan are kind of competing to see who can launch the new generation of 600km/hr maglev trains. Both have test tracks, both have clocked at 600km/hr, both have the actual lines under construction (Shanghai to Beijing, Tokyo to Nagoya).
Neither will likely run at 600km/hr, that’s mostly just dick waving.
Construction in Japan has slowed to a crawl and probably won’t be done will 2027 at least, and the Chinese CRRC is supposed to start this year but I don’t think they have any official service start dates.

The Chuo Shinkansen is scheduled to open in 2034.
Also the French TGV was already running at 574,8 km/h back in 2007. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TGV_world_speed_record
No, this is misleading. Not in service, and only an engine car.
