As China’s economy continues to grow rapidly, living standards across the nation improve steadily. This progress results in a rise in travel demands, alongside an escalating expectation for high-quality travel experiences. Consequently, high-speed railways—notable for their safety, speed, and comfort—are fast becoming the trans-portation mode of choice for an increasing number of individuals. To this end, a high priority has been given to the development of high-speed railways under the national policy. The initiation of China’s high-speed railway journey can be traced back to 2004 with the introduction of the first Medium-and Long-Term Railway Network Plan. This development has seen China’s high-speed railway network grow exponentially. The updated Medium-and Long-Term Railway Network Plan of 2016 set new targets. By 2020, 30,000 km of high-speed railway infrastructure connecting more than 80% of China’s major cities will be constructed. By 2025, the plan forecasted the construction of 38,000 km of high-speed railway, expanding the coverage, enhancing the structure, and taking a dominant position as the primary mode of travel, thereby facilitating the support of railways to economic and social growth. By 2030, China will establish complete railway connectivity and county-level coverage. This network, built around the backbone of the “Eight Vertical and Eight Horizontal Lines”, aims to accelerate the establishment of a robust passenger transport network, developing swift, convenient, and high-capacity railway passenger transportation channels, with a gradual shift toward the separation of freight and passenger transportation. This illustrates that the high-speed railway is entering a new stage of accelerated development.
