Since the beginning of this year, in line with the goals of high standards, sustainability and people’s livelihood, a large number of “One Belt, One Road” infrastructure projects built with Chinese standards have been accelerated overseas. The projects involve transportation facilities, digital TV, and household appliances. and many other areas of livelihood.

Statistics show that a large number of key construction projects are becoming new symbols of the "Belt and Road" initiative, improving the quality of life of local residents and injecting new impetus into the economic development of the host country.

  This week, the first super bridge from Bangkok to Nakhon Ratchasima, the first phase of the China-Thailand Railway Cooperation Project, which was designed using Chinese railway technical standards, completed the beams and entered the full-scale construction stage.

The China-Thailand Railway is an important part of the Trans-Asian Railway Middle Corridor. China and Thailand jointly build the "Belt and Road" and carry out the flagship project of production capacity cooperation. After completion, it will effectively improve the infrastructure construction and connectivity of Thailand and the region.

  The China-Laos Railway connects Kunming, Yunnan, China and Vientiane, Laos. It is designed in accordance with the China Railway Class I standard, mainly invested and constructed by the Chinese side, jointly operated by the two countries, and directly connected to the Chinese railway network.

The 7-month-old China-Laos Railway Vientiane South Station refit yard was also completed and put into use this month. The standard gauge of the China-Laos Railway and the meter gauge of the Thailand Railway are interconnected. The transportation time from Kunming, China to Laem Chabang Port, Thailand It is about 1 day shorter than the reverse transportation of automobiles, the transportation cost is reduced by more than 20%, and the international logistics channel of land-sea combined transportation will be more convenient and smooth.

Saisana, Vice Chairman of Laos-China Cooperation Committee:

This is a solid achievement of the "Belt and Road" construction, which enables Laos' advantageous industries such as service industry, processing industry, and agriculture to enjoy a convenient and efficient land transportation system.

  Earlier this month, the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway, the first high-speed railway in Southeast Asia and a landmark project of the “Belt and Road” initiative jointly built by China and Indonesia, began to lay tracks. All the rails of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway are custom-made to Chinese standards.

  Statistics show that among the hundreds of key projects constructed in the countries along the “Belt and Road”, more than one third of the projects that implement Chinese standards account for more than one third of the projects in the fields of highway, airport, port transportation engineering, civil construction, petrochemical, etc. One-fourth of Chinese standards are implemented in engineering projects.

Wang Yangkun, Director of the Transportation Technology Development Center of the Comprehensive Transportation Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission:

At present, China has certain advantages in the implementation of high-speed rail standards. Implement Chinese standards.

  The Mombasa-Nairobi Railway completed in 2017 fully adopts Chinese standards, which comprehensively improves the running speed and ride comfort of trains.

In the field of digital TV, the Chinese standard has now become the general standard of the International Telecommunication Union, adopted by 14 countries around the world, covering nearly 2 billion people, and the clear and stable TV signal continues to provide local high-quality services.

Wang Yangkun, Director of the Transportation Technology Development Center of the Comprehensive Transportation Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission:

China has accumulated rich experience in the field of engineering, and can provide high-quality services in engineering design, construction and maintenance for countries along the “Belt and Road”, and provide high-quality public transportation services. Build the "Belt and Road" to create more iconic projects.
