Rapid development of high-speed rail benefits the Midwest
From October 14 to 15, Li Keqiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Premier of the State Council, visited Xi'an and Xianyang, Shaanxi Province. The reporter of the daily economic news noted that Premier Li Keqiang's visit also provided a clear and clear "construction drawing" of where the local "stable investment" should work and how to integrate the benefits of people's livelihood. "The purpose of our economic development is to benefit the people's livelihood. We must take multiple measures together to connect the provinces where the high-speed rail is still blank to the national high-speed rail network as soon as possible, so that these areas can step into the national rapid development track one day earlier," he said.

on August 3, 2017, the first high-speed railway in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Zhangjiakou Hohhot high speed railway (Zhangjiakou Hohhot) Ulanchab Hohhot east section was officially opened for operation, which ended the history of no high-speed railway in Inner Mongolia. On June 7, 2019, the first high-speed test was carried out for the section from Ulanqab to Huai'an of Zhang Hu high-speed railway, with the maximum speed of 275 km / h. by the end of 2019, Zhang Hu high-speed railway will be fully opened, and the operation time from Hohhot to Beijing will be shortened from 6 hours and 30 minutes to 3 hours.
now, there are only two provinces in China that do not have high-speed railway. One is Tibet. Although China has the means to build railway in the alpine region, there are still many technical problems in building high-speed railway in the alpine region. In terms of train operation alone, high-speed railway running on the line with lower sea level is not applicable on the plateau, let alone on the equipment and lines. The management and maintenance of roads and trains are also great challenges. In terms of economic benefits, Tibet is vast in territory, abundant in resources and sparse in population, so it can hardly make profit and cost recovery. Therefore, unless there is a breakthrough in technology and cost, it will be difficult for Tibet to pass high-speed rail in the future. A 6031 a 6031 and another province without high-speed railway is Ningxia, which is across the Loess Plateau and Inner Mongolia Plateau. The terrain is high in the South and low in the north, with an average altitude of more than 1000 meters. The terrain is dominated by mountains and plateaus, accounting for about 3 / 4 of the total area. The plain accounts for 1 / 4 of the total area. The plain is yellow land, dominated by water erosion, belonging to the Loess Plateau. The terrain and geological conditions are abnormal and complex. Miscellaneous. Therefore, in the construction of high-speed railway, the stability and economic rationality of the line operation should be considered as a whole. On October 16, the Ningxia section of Yinxi high speed railway, which was designed and constructed by China Railway Construction Corporation, has been completed successfully. Gansu section and Shaanxi section are advancing as planned. Yinxi high speed railway connects Xi'an, the largest and most glorious city in central and Western China, with a total investment of 80.5 billion yuan. The completion of the project will end the history of no high-speed railway in Ningxia, and shorten the operation time from Yinchuan to Xi'an from 14 hours to 3 hours. The Yinxi high speed railway will fill in the gap of Ningxia high speed railway, ensure that investment and growth are effectively "fed back" to the transformation of economic structure, and play a special role in population flow, exchange and cooperation along the line. It is of great significance to the construction of the belt and road initiative and the great development of the central and western regions, the further optimization and improvement of the national high-speed railway network layout, the enhancement of the endogenous power of economic development, the continuous improvement and upgrading of people's livelihood and the continuous improvement of people's living standards.
