I am talking about Shinkansen or their French or Chinese analogs. What technological advancement in the recent years allows them to travel so fast? Where I come from most trains don’t go nearly at that fast speed.

It’s not just recent years, first Shinkansen line was opened in 1964. What enables bullet trains in general is wider rails, more straight lines and gentler curves.
The bullet train itself has motors on every car, instead of the more standard front and rear car motor arrangement.
