Railways have covered 81% of the country's counties, and high-speed rail has reached 93% of cities with a population of more than 500,000.
A railway network with reasonable layout, extensive coverage, distinct layers, safety and efficiency has been basically formed

The freight capacity has been continuously improved. In 2021, the freight volume will reach 4.774 billion tons, an increase of 22.3% compared with 2012. The long-standing bottlenecks in railway transportation have been effectively solved, and the "return to railway" has achieved remarkable results, focusing on food, fertilizer, electricity and coal. Material transportation has been strongly guaranteed.
Over the past decade, the level of equipment technology has continued to rise.
The railway equipment has been upgraded. The Fuxing series products cover different speed levels and adapt to various operating environments.
The intelligent EMU has achieved automatic driving at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour for the first time in the world
.
The overall technical level of China's railways has entered the advanced ranks in the world, and the high-speed, plateau, alpine, and heavy-haul railway technologies are in the leading position in the world, and a high-speed railway construction and equipment manufacturing technology system with independent intellectual property rights has been formed.
In the past decade, railway reform has taken new steps.
The railway management system has realized the separation of government and enterprises, the industry supervision system has been continuously improved, and the transformation of government functions and the streamlining of administration and decentralization have achieved remarkable results.

To serve the “Belt and Road” construction, the China-Laos Railway, the Asia-Djibouti Railway, and the Mombasa-Nairobi Railway have all been put into operation one after another, and the landmark project of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway is progressing in an orderly manner.
Railway technical equipment has been exported to more than 100 countries and regions around the world, realizing the "going out" of the entire industry chain.
More than 150 foreign language versions of China's railway technical standards have been released.
The China Railway Express has reached 185 cities in 23 European countries
