The whole line adopts Chinese technology and Chinese standards "Made in China" to help Indonesia develop
Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway: Interpreting the "Belt and Road" Win-Win Story
Reporter Guan Xiaopu Xue Peng
Starting from the capital Jakarta in the north and linking to the famous city of Bandung in West Java in the south, the 142-kilometer Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway is the first high-speed railway in Indonesia and even the entire Southeast Asia region. It is the first time that the high-speed rail system, all elements, and the entire industry chain have been implemented overseas, and Chinese technology and Chinese standards have been adopted across the board.
From November 15th to 16th, the 17th summit of the leaders of the Group of Twenty (G20) was officially held in Bali, Indonesia.
The Indonesian government revealed that the high-profile Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway will be tested during the G20 summit, and the trial operation of the railway's high-speed comprehensive test train (CIT) will be launched on the 16th.
In recent years, from the China-Laos Railway to the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway, to the Algiers International Conference Center, the main venue of the Arab League Summit, more and more "Made in China" have attracted the attention of the world.
The pace of "Made in China" and "Going Global" is accelerating, bringing more tangible benefits to all countries.
From 3 hours to 40 minutes, China's high-speed rail helps Indonesia "narrow" the distance between cities, and the whole system, all elements, and the whole industrial chain go abroad
The car body is equipped with an abstract red polygonal pattern with the texture of the Indonesian national treasure animal "Komodo Dragon", which embodies the concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature; Stupa, the national flag and the ocean; the seat is embedded with Indonesian "Badik" style auspicious cloud patterns... On November 9, at the Dekarur Station in Bandung, Indonesia, as the train slowly started, the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway test section Catenary hot sliding test in full swing.
According to the high-speed rail operation test procedure, after the catenary hot sliding test is successful, it can enter the joint debugging and joint test stage.
The Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway is a flagship project for the docking of China-Indonesia development strategies and the joint construction of the "Belt and Road".
How to understand the whole system, all elements, and the whole industry chain going abroad?
The relevant person in charge of the project introduced to the reporter that the whole system refers to the sub-systems of Yavango Railway’s base, track, bridge, tunnel, catenary, communication signal, train control, EMU, customer service, etc., which all adopt Chinese standards; The whole process of high-speed railway construction and operation, such as survey and design, engineering construction, equipment manufacturing, operation management, and operation and development of the Wanhua high-speed railway, fully adopts Chinese solutions; the whole industrial chain refers to the construction machinery, catenary, rail, EMU, communication Signaling, train control and other equipment are all manufactured by Chinese companies, covering the upper, middle and lower reaches of the high-speed railway industry chain.
It is not easy to go abroad with the whole system, all elements and the whole industry chain.
From the perspective of geological conditions alone, the Java Island area where the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway is located has many earthquakes and volcanoes, while Bandung is located in the regional subsidence section.
The relevant person in charge of China Railway Group told reporters that the length of bridges on the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway line accounted for 61.5%, the length of tunnels accounted for 11.7%, and the length of roadbeds accounted for 26.8%.
Under complex conditions, Chinese builders used smart beam field construction technology to build 58 bridges, and successfully penetrated 13 tunnels using Chinese technology and equipment.
The Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway will run at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour under the special climate and terrain conditions in Indonesia, which also puts forward new requirements for the trains.
As China's first high-speed train exported abroad, the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train relies on the advanced and mature technology of the Chinese standard EMU of Fuxing, adapts to the local operating environment and line conditions in Indonesia, integrates Indonesian local culture, and carries out adaptive improvements. It is technologically advanced, safe and intelligent. Strong environmental adaptability and distinctive local characteristics fully meet the operational needs of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail.
The 11 sets of high-speed EMUs used by the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail have all been manufactured in China.
Not long ago, after 11 days of sea transportation, the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed trains exported by my country arrived at the port of Jakarta, Indonesia. This is the first batch of high-speed trains for the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway project to arrive in Indonesia.
The development of high-speed rail will drive local economic development.
Java Island, where the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway is located, is the fifth largest island in Indonesia, and also the island with the largest population and highest population density in Indonesia.
After the opening of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway, Indonesia will have the first high-speed railway, and it will also be the first country in Southeast Asia to have a high-speed railway.
"This will be a new history. It will reshape Indonesia's commuting habits and bring about a major leap in Indonesia's progress." The third "Hello , China!" The work "N Ways from Jakarta to Bandung", which won the first prize in the short video contest, introduced to netizens three traditional modes of transportation between the two places: one is by train, which takes 3 hours; The second is to take a van, if there is no traffic jam, it will also take 3 hours; the third is to take a motorcycle, including the time for eating, resting and refueling on the way, it will take about 5 hours.
The Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail, which is about to be completed, will shorten the above-mentioned travel time to 40 minutes.
"It's not only fast, it's also environmentally friendly because it's powered by electricity. We hope the cooperation between the two countries doesn't stop there, and hopefully it can continue to expand to other cities so that everyone can commute faster and more efficiently." At the end of the video, the voice-over expresses the expectations of the Indonesian people.
The advantages of the Chinese program in terms of capital, technology transfer, talent training, construction cycle, and technical capabilities make the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway "fall in China"
It is hard for us to imagine that shipping goods from the Papua region in eastern Indonesia to the capital Jakarta is more expensive and takes longer than shipping goods from Shanghai, China to Jakarta.
Indonesia, the largest economy in Southeast Asia, is the largest archipelagic country in the world. The terrain is scattered, the progress of railway construction is slow, and infrastructure lagging seriously restricts Indonesia's economic development.
In 2014, after Widodo became the President of Indonesia, he arranged his first visit to China.
In November of that year, Widodo took the Beijing-Tianjin intercity high-speed rail between attending the APEC summit. He was deeply impressed by the high-speed, safe and comfortable Chinese high-speed rail.
He immediately decided that Indonesia would also build its own high-speed rail.
Li Wannan, director of the Indonesian Research Center of Jinan University, has been paying attention to the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway construction project for a long time.
She told reporters that the competition for the project was extremely fierce back then, and China finally won the bid mainly because of the following reasons: From the perspective of the relationship between the two countries, the leaders of China and Indonesia have frequent interactions, high political mutual trust, and many economic and trade cooperation, providing a basis for cooperation under a large framework .
From the perspective of project plans, the Chinese plan is superior to other plans in terms of capital, technology transfer, talent training, construction period, and technical capabilities.
In addition, China proposed to transfer technology to help Indonesia train high-speed rail skilled workers.
According to statistics, during the construction period of the project, China continued to increase the training of Indonesian employees, and supported Indonesia to build its own high-speed rail technical force and workforce, and trained a total of 45,000 Indonesian employees.
As the "first order" of China's high-speed rail going abroad, the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail is of great significance to both Indonesia and China.
For China, the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway has important demonstration significance for China's high-speed railway to go to the world.
"It has far-reaching significance for expanding the international influence of China's high-speed rail and stabilizing cooperation in the industrial chain and supply chain." Li Wannan said.
For Indonesia, the most direct effect of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail is to greatly improve the traffic congestion in Jakarta and optimize intercity traffic.
Li Wannan believes, "Jakarta is the political center and economic center of Indonesia, while Bandung is the commercial center and cultural center. The Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail will compress the commuting time between the two places to 40 minutes, which will form a strong city effect and bring strong economic radiation capacity."
Liang Haiming, dean of the "Belt and Road" Research Institute of Hainan University, believes that "the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail will bring a huge boost to Indonesia's economic development and social progress, and at the same time show the world the strong vitality of 'Made in China' and highlight the 'Belt and Road' initiative." The enormous global appeal of the initiative."
China has gradually grown into a leader in the development of high-speed railways in the world and a master of technology
From the Lanzhou-Xinjiang high-speed railway across the northern part of the country to the Shanghai-Kunming high-speed railway through the Lingnan mountains and rivers, from the Harbin-Dalian high-speed railway to the northeast snowfields to the Nanjing-Hangzhou high-speed railway to the south of the Yangtze River, the beads are lined and the lines are connected into a network. After more than ten years of development, China's high-speed railway territory has repeatedly For expansion, the "four vertical and four horizontal" has been basically completed, and the construction of "eight vertical and eight horizontal" is being accelerated.
By the end of 2021, China's high-speed rail operating mileage will exceed 40,000 kilometers, more than two-thirds of the world's total high-speed rail mileage.
From upstream technology research, design and development, and design consultation, to midstream construction and equipment manufacturing, to downstream operation and maintenance, value-added services, etc., in this long industrial chain, China has gradually grown into the world's high-speed rail development. The leader and master of technology.
The British BBC once regarded China's high-speed rail construction as a symbol of China's new industrial revolution in an article, calling it the "high-speed rail revolution."
During the first "Belt and Road" International Cooperation Summit Forum in 2017, the Silk Road Research Institute of Beijing Foreign Studies University launched a survey "What do you most want to bring back from China to the motherland" from 20 countries in the "Belt and Road" region Youth put "high-speed rail" at the top of the list.
In recent years, China's high-speed rail has been exported overseas by virtue of its advantages such as advanced technology, safety and reliability, high cost performance, good compatibility, rich operating experience, and strong adaptability to construction and operation.
China led the construction of the Mecca-Medina high-speed railway, the first high-speed railway in the world to cross the desert in Saudi Arabia; the Hungarian-Serbian railway connecting Budapest, the capital of Hungary, and Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, is the first Chinese high-speed railway to enter Europe , was called "a gift for future generations" by Serbian President Vucic; undertook the construction of the China-Thailand Railway. After the completion of the high-speed railway, it will connect Vientiane, the end of the China-Laos Railway, and drive to Kunming, the spring city...
At the same time, China's railway construction standards are actively "going to sea".
In July this year, the International Union of Railways (UIC) issued and implemented the "High-speed Railway Design Infrastructure" standard and the "High-speed Railway Design Power Supply" standard formulated by China, both of which are the first international railway standards in related fields.
Huo Shibao, chairman of the UIC High Speed Committee, said that the inclusion of China's superior technologies and key parameters in international standards provides standard support for the promotion of China's railway technology and the realization of the "going global" of China's railway systems, elements and industry chains, creating a Favorable conditions.
"Made in China" will continue to help the development of countries and bring more tangible benefits to the people of all countries
While China's high-speed rail is speeding up to go to sea and the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail is reporting frequent successes, the China-Laos Railway, a landmark project of the "Belt and Road", has also handed over a gratifying report card: as of November 7, the cumulative cargo transported by the China-Laos Railway exceeded 10 million tons, of which The volume of overseas cargo transportation exceeded 1.8 million tons, and the value of goods exceeded 12 billion yuan.
Since its opening more than 11 months ago, the international freight trains on the China-Laos Railway have made logistics transportation between China and Laos fast and cost controllable. The cargo transportation has covered Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Cambodia, Singapore and other countries and regions.
The transportation of goods has expanded from chemical fertilizers and department stores in the initial stage of opening to more than 1,200 types of electronics, photovoltaics, and cold-chain fruits.
"China's foreign investment and project contracting have spread to more than 190 countries and regions, and 'Made in China' has increasingly become a reliable choice for Chinese partners. We believe that 'Made in China' will continue to help the development of countries and bring more benefits to the people of all countries. There are many tangible benefits." Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said on November 9.
In recent years, more and more "Made in China" products have gone abroad.
Since the "Belt and Road" initiative was put forward, in Indonesia alone, China has successively undertaken multiple projects such as the Pangkaran Susu Thermal Power Station, the Jatigede Hydropower Station in Indonesia, the Bengkulu Thermal Power Station, and the Batang Tolu Hydropower Station.
The pace of "Made in China" and "Going Global" is accelerating.
The highways, high-speed railways, ports, bridges, power stations, stadiums and other infrastructure that China has participated in are all over the world.
"Made in China" pursues high standards, benefits people's livelihood, and is sustainable. It has "inserted wings" for economic development and improvement of people's livelihood around the world, and has also won a good reputation among local people.
"By continuously promoting the interconnection of infrastructure, the 'Belt and Road' will make the countries along the route a closer whole. Taking the opening of traffic as an opportunity, the channel will promote logistics, logistics will promote economy and trade, economy and trade will promote industry, industry will promote development, and development will Promote people-to-people bonds, so as to jointly build a community of shared future for mankind." Liang Haiming said that "China Construction" and Chinese technology have brought tangible benefits such as economic development and job growth to countries along the "Belt and Road" and won the "Belt and Road" initiative. Widely praised by countries along the route.
"While strengthening cooperation with countries along the 'Belt and Road', my country's infrastructure construction has also effectively stimulated the development of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and all links." Li Wannan said.
Railways, highways, ports, airports, power stations, communications... Why are more and more countries willing to accept "Made in China"?
Li Wannan believes that a prominent reason is that "Chinese-style modernization is a modernization that follows the path of peaceful development." The path of peaceful development that China adheres to is highly compatible with the development strategies of other countries.
"We seek our own development while resolutely safeguarding world peace and development, and use our own development to better maintain world peace and development." Li Wannan said.
"Made in China", "Wisdom in China", "Scheme in China", "Standards in China", "Made in China"... As China's door opens wider and wider, this series of "China" stories continues to be staged.
The cumulative intentional turnover of the five CIIEs was nearly 350 billion US dollars. From the hinterland of Asia to the Horn of Africa, stories of "come with joy and return with satisfaction" reflect that China shares development achievements with the world; the recently released "New Era China's Beidou" white paper shows that the Beidou system adheres to the development concept of "China's Beidou, the world's Beidou, and first-class Beidou", and contributes China's wisdom and strength to the satellite navigation system to better serve the world and benefit mankind; this year's "Double 11" period , the number of orders for "Reverse Overseas Shopping" has increased significantly compared with previous years, especially the "eight-piece set for winter in China" such as electric blankets, hand warmers, and heaters sold to Europe, making "Made in China" warm the world...
From a commodity to a technology, from a project to a set of plans, the open and developing China has proved with practical actions: China adheres to the basic national policy of opening up, firmly pursues the opening strategy of mutual benefit and win-win, and constantly uses China's new Development provides new opportunities for the world, and China's development and the development of the world are mutually integrated and mutually successful.
