The 2024 World Mobile Communications Conference (MWC2024) ended on February 29 in Barcelona, Spain. Xiaomi Group President Lu Weibing held a press conference during the conference to release new products such as Xiaomi 14Ultra for overseas markets, and Xiaomi SU7 also made its overseas debut at MWC.
Recently, Lu Weibing posted on Weibo:“It was my first time to experience the Spanish high-speed train, from Barcelona to Madrid, which is about 600 kilometers and takes nearly 3 hours.Spain's high-speed rail was built in the 1990s and was still very advanced at the time. "
Lu Weibing sighed,“In recent years, China’s high-speed rail has developed too fast and has gone from catching up to surpassing.”
How fast is China's high-speed rail? Taking Zhengzhou East Railway Station to Beijing West Railway Station as an example, the distance between the two places is about 690 kilometers, and the fastest train G96 can reach it in just 2 hours and 11 minutes.
However, G96 is a direct high-speed train, and we don’t know how many stops Lu Weibing’s train takes, so we can’t make a direct comparison. This is for reference only.
It is understood that by the end of 2023,my country's high-speed rail operating mileage reaches 45,000 kilometers, accounting for more than 70% of the world's total high-speed rail mileage.It is the country with the longest high-speed railway operating mileage, the largest scale under construction, the highest commercial operation speed, the most comprehensive high-speed rail technology, and the richest operating scenarios in the world.
