近年来,中国高铁继续保持快速发展步伐,新华社报道称,截至2016年底,中国高铁运营里程超过2.2万公里,占世界高铁运营总里程60%以上,位居全球第一。目前,中国高铁与其他铁路共同构成的快速客运网已达4万公里以上。中国铁路总公司总经理陆东福表示,随着近年来郑徐、沪昆、宝兰等多条高铁的开通,我国高铁“四纵四横”主骨架已基本形成。 In recent years, China’s high-speed rail continued to maintain rapid pace of development. Xinhua News Agency reported that as of the end of 2016, China’s high-speed rail operated more than 22,000 km and accounted for more than 60% of the total high-speed rail operation in the world, ranking the first in the world. At present, the rapid passenger transport network formed by China’s high-speed railways and other railways has reached more than 40,000 km. Lu Dongfu, general manager of China Railway Corporation, said that with the opening up of such highways as Zheng Xu, Shanghai Kun and Baolan in recent years, the main skeleton of China’s high-speed railways has been basically formed.
