Ask a QuestionIn July 2016, China's national development and reform commission, ministry of transport, China railway corporation jointly issued the "mid-long-term railway network planning" (hereinafter referred to as planning), outlined the grand blueprint of the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed rail network in the new period.
The term of this planning is from 2016 to 2025, and the long-term outlook is to 2030.
By 2020, China high-speed railway network has reached 150,000 kilometers, with 30,000 kilometers of high-speed railways covering more than 80 percent of the major cities.
By 2025, the railway network scale will be up to 17,5000 kilometers, about 38,000 kilometers of which are high speed railway. The network coverage will further expand, and the network structure will optimize better to play a role of safeguard to social and economic development.
Looking forward to 2030, China high-speed rail network will basically implement the connectivity between internal and external, the multi-channel flow in inter-region, the link between provincial capitals through high-speed rail, the rapid transit between cities and the basic coverage of counties.
