[National Development and Reform Commission: 400 kilometers per hour high-speed railway will steadily advance commercial operation] November 4th, the National Development and Reform Commission stated on November 4 that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, China will build approximately 15,000 kilometers of railways, including approximately 10,000 kilometers of high-speed railways, to basically achieve the goal of railway modernization. In terms of key tasks, the main channel of the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railways will be basically completed and the coverage of regional connecting lines will be reasonably expanded. Accelerate the construction of a complete set of technology and standard systems for the construction and operation of high-speed rail with a speed of 400 kilometers per hour, and steadily promote commercial operation. We will steadily promote the operation of freight trains on railways with a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, and strive to increase the freight volume by 220 million tons during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. In terms of major projects, we will fully build high-standard high-speed railways along the Yangtze River, accelerate the construction of coastal high-speed railways, steadily advance the construction of border railways, accelerate the construction of Xinjiang's coal export system, and advance the preliminary work of projects such as the Qinhuangdao-Shenyang Second Corridor.
