BEIJING: China has made steady progress in building an advanced and multidimensional traffic network in terms of both scale and quality, leading the world in multiple transport technologies, according to a white paper released by the State Council Information Office on Tuesday.
Titled “Sustainable Development of Transport in China,” the white paper provides a full picture of the country’s achievements in the transport sector and its goals. The country now has the longest high-speed railway, highway and domestic waterway, as well as the largest number of berths in its harbors, China’s Vice Minister of Transport Liu Xiaoming said at the press briefing on the white paper.
The following are some of the country’s world-leading mega-projects and technologies listed in the white paper: China leads the world in technology for railways at high altitudes and in extremely low temperatures, and for high-speed and heavy-haul railways.
China has solved some of the most challenging technical problems confronting highway construction in difficult geological conditions such as plateau permafrost, expansive soil, and desert. It also leads in core technologies for building deep-water offshore ports, improving massive estuary and long waterways, and building large airports.
