  The strength of independent innovation: "A successful example of independent innovation in my country is the high-speed rail"

  Behind the great development of railways, especially high-speed railways, is the steady support of technology and industrial hard power.

  In 2019, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway opened to traffic.

From the zero breakthrough in the construction of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway 110 years ago to the world's most advanced level today, from 35 kilometers per hour to 350 kilometers per hour, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway has witnessed the development history of China's railways and the great leap in China's comprehensive national strength.

  On January 19, 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping took the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway to the Zhangjiakou competition area to inspect the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics and the Winter Paralympics. He pointed out: "A successful example of my country's independent innovation is the high-speed rail. , Digestion, absorption and then innovation to independent innovation, and now it has taken the lead in the world. We must sum up experience and continue to work hard to strive for greater development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period."

  Fuxing is running at a speed of 420 kilometers per hour for rendezvous and reconnection. The intelligent EMU realizes automatic driving at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour. The high-speed maglev transportation system with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour has successfully rolled off the assembly line. ...The story of China's high-speed rail from catching up to surpassing and independent innovation is constantly being written.

  "Whoever holds the nose of technological innovation, and whoever takes the first step of technological innovation well, will be able to take the lead and win the advantage." China's high-speed rail, which insists on independent innovation, is a vivid footnote of this important thesis.

  Focusing on the overall goal of comprehensively building a socialist modernized and powerful country, General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly stated in the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China: "Promote new industrialization, accelerate the construction of a manufacturing power, a quality power, a space power, a transportation power, a network power, and a digital China."

  For a country with strong transportation, the railway goes first.

The "Outline of Advanced Planning for the Railways of a Powerful Transportation Country in the New Era" draws a blueprint for a modern railway power: by 2035, it will take the lead in building a modern railway power with safe and high-quality services, strong guarantees, and world-leading strength.

The national railway network has reached about 200,000 kilometers, including about 70,000 kilometers of high-speed rail.

  The charm of connecting the world: "High-speed rail is a bright business card for my country's equipment manufacturing"

  "From Zheng He's voyages to the joint construction of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail, China is our old friend..." Along with the advancement of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail project, a rap song became popular on the Internet in Indonesia.

The concise lyrics and cheerful rhythm express the eager expectation of the Indonesian people for the completion and opening of the high-speed rail.

  The Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway is the first high-speed railway in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, and it is also the first time that China's high-speed railway manufacturing system, all elements, and the entire industry chain have been implemented overseas.

After opening to traffic, the travel time between Jakarta and Bandung will be shortened from more than 3 hours to 40 minutes.

  "The high-speed rail is a bright business card of my country's equipment manufacturing, and it has become a 'hot item' for my country's foreign economic and technological cooperation. We must seize the opportunity and take advantage of the momentum." In July 2015, General Secretary Xi Jinping was in CRRC Changchun Rail Bus It was pointed out during the inspection of the joint stock company.

  Not long before that, China's standard EMU train with completely independent intellectual property rights and a speed of 350 kilometers per hour had just rolled off the assembly line.

Two years later, it was named "Fuxing", galloped across the land of China, and gradually became China's new "diplomatic business card" and "image representative".

  The China-Laos Railway has built a convenient logistics channel between China and ASEAN, bringing development opportunities to the entire region; the Hungary-Serbia Railway, the first order for China's high-speed railway to "go out" and enter Europe, is regarded by the local people as "leaving it to future generations". The gift of "; the Maimai high-speed railway connecting Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia has built the highest speed double-track electrified high-speed railway in the desert area, injecting vitality into the development of the region...

  China-made high-speed railways have opened up avenues of interconnected development, benefiting the people and the world.
