Wang Qiming, press spokesman and deputy director of the State Railway Administration, said at the press conference on the “Start of the 15th Five-Year Plan” series held by the State Information Office on the 21st that since this year, China's railways have focused on “networking, reconnecting, and strengthening the chain” to promote the construction of major engineering projects with high quality. Projects such as the Xi'an to Shiyan high-speed railway have been opened one after another, and substantial progress has been made in the construction of key projects such as the Harbin to Yichun high-speed railway and the Xiongan-Shangqiu high-speed railway. In the first half of this year, railway fixed asset investment remained high, with a total investment of 363.2 billion yuan, an increase of 2.1% over the previous year, which played an important role in expanding domestic demand and steady growth. In the next step, China's railway network construction will focus on three areas: strengthening the construction of strategic backbone channels, improving the structural functions of the railway network, and improving the railway hub system.
