Editor’s Note:
China Railway issued a blueprint for the country’s railway development last week, planning to nearly double its rail lines and high-speed network length by 2035. The Global Times sorted through relevant data on China’s railway development, including the number of passengers being transported, planned railway tracks, lengths of railway networks, construction budget, and technology export. These statistics offer readers a chance to grasp the extent of the developments in China’s rail technology, and better understand why it is fast becoming the nation’s new calling card.
