——China has the longest HSR network in operation. By the end of September 2022, China has over 41,000 kilometers of HSRs in operation, accounting for 70% of the total in the world. Among them, those serving at a speed of 300-350 km/h span 16,000 kilometers, accounting for 39% of the total; and those at a speed of 200-250 km/h span 25,000 kilometers, accounting for 61%.
——China enjoys the fastest speed in commercial HSR operation. The 350 km/h high-standard operation of the China standard EMU trains “Fuxing” on Beijing-Shanghai HSR was launched on September 21, 2017, setting a new benchmark for commercial operation of HSRs in the world, and making China the only country achieving commercial operation of HSRs at 350 km/h in the world.
——China boasts the highest HSR accessibility worldwide. Stretching from the snowy forest in northeast China to the riverside towns in southeast China, and spanning from the harsh gobi and desert regions to the coast of the East China Sea, China’s high speed railways jump cross rivers and wander through mountains and valleys, reaching far and wide. The high speed network of four north-south and four east-west corridors were completed ahead of schedule, and a denser and more expansive HSR network composed of eight north-south and eight east-west corridors is now taking shape, with HSRs in China’s east, central, west, and northeast regions all interwoven into a fabric, and these fabrics interconnected with each other. 95% of China’s cities with a population of 500,000 or above now have access to HSR service, Hong Kong has been involved in the national HSR network, and Fuxing EMU train service is now extended to Tibet.
