Promoting Railway Construction for the benefit of the people

Recently, in the "2019 Yangtze River Delta rail transit Integration Development Summit Forum", Zhao Changjiang, director of the strategic planning department of the Ministry of development and reform of China National Railway Group Co., Ltd., revealed in a speech entitled "transportation powerful railway first provides service guarantee for the Yangtze River Delta integration development". According to China's railway construction and development plan, by 2020, China's railway network planning will reach To 150000 kilometers, including 30000 kilometers of high-speed rail, 75% of the cities with a population of more than 500000 and 80% of the cities with a population of more than 1 million. A 6031 a 6031 throughout the development of China's railway, it can be said to be an extraordinary development road. From the birth of the first railway to the end of 2018, the national railway business mileage reached 131000 kilometers, ranking the second in the world, of which the high-speed railway mileage exceeded 29000 kilometers, accounting for two-thirds of the world's high-speed railway. In addition, there are independent intellectual property rights "Fuxing" series of high-speed rail EMUs. These are inseparable from the hard work of several generations of railway people and the dedicated exploration of many scientific and technological workers. They have made China Railway achieve remarkable achievements and achieved a magnificent transformation from the following to the leading. It is reported in

that by 2025, China's railway network will reach about 17.5km, including 38000km of high-speed rail; by 2030, China's railway network will reach about 200000 km, including 45000km of high-speed rail. After achieving the above goals, China's railway network will be fully connected with cities with a population of more than 200000, high-speed railway network will basically connect provincial capitals and other large and medium-sized cities with a population of more than 500000, realize 1-4-hour traffic circle between adjacent large and medium-sized cities, and 0.5-2-hour traffic circle within the city cluster, which will not only bring people convenient travel, but also change the regional economic structure and shorten the development gap between regions 。 The

railway is safe and convenient, with little impact on the environment and climate, and all-weather transportation characteristics, which is very consistent with the characteristics of China's vast region and great differences in climate and environment. Promoting the construction of China's railway plays a very positive role in protecting green mountains and rivers, sustainable economic development, and improving people's wellbeing. Of course, the railway construction is not achieved overnight, which requires the railway builders to be down-to-earth, spare no effort to roll up their sleeves and work hard to make the grand blueprint of railway construction come true, make people's life more and more beautiful in the convenient transportation, let the railway construction benefit the people, and make people's happiness and sense of gain more substantial.
