Every day, he travels between the two cities. How does he manage to do so? By taking the high-speed railway (HSR). With a speed of 350 kilometres per hour, he can get to Beijing in half an hour. 24 China’s high-speed railways have gone a long way in breaking records for distance and speed. China has achieved an impressive “China speed” in its development of the HSR, after years of effort. Today, high-speed railways, along with subways and light rail transit, offer great convenience to travellers in many cities. 25 What’s more, in recent years, with reliable advanced technology, cost-effective performance and abundant operational experience, China’s high-speed railways are going global step by step. The “Belt and Road Initiative” has brought great opportunities for the HSR. Chinese-built high-speed railways are now found in many other countries, for example, the China-Laos railway in Laos and the China-Thailand railway in Thailand. The HSR has become an important visiting card not only for China’s high technology, but also for the construction of the “Belt and Road Initiative”. 26 $$
