China Railways Sector Report 2018/2022

The railway sector has been playing a vital role in China’s social and economic development. The country relies on railway freight, including that of natural resources such as coal, or metal ores. Dynamic urbanisation and socioeconomic changes, on the other hand, increase rail passenger traffic. The country is the second largest railway freight transporter in net tonne-km (tkm) globally and the largest passenger carrier in terms of passenger-km (pkm). It also operates the world’s largest highspeed railway (HSR) network. China’s dynamic railway expansion began after it adopted the Medium to Long Term Plan for Railway Network Development in 2004.
