Beijing expected to reach 50,000km target by end of 2025, as it shifts focus to quality and efficiency
China added 10,000km of operational high-speed rail tracks between 2021 and 2024, putting the nation on track to reach its goal of 50,000km by the end of the year, Minister of Transport Liu Wei said at a press conference in Beijing on Monday.
“The operating mileage of China’s high-speed rail has reached 48,000km, accounting for over 70 per cent of the world’s total high-speed rail mileage and covering 97 per cent of cities nationwide with populations over 500,000,” Liu said.
