Since the beginning of this year, China has been actively promoting railway construction with a focus on qualitative efficiency.
According to China State Railway Group, the total fixed asset investment in the national railway sector from January to May 2025 reached 242.1 billion yuan (approximately 4.48 trillion won), representing a 5.9% increase compared to the same period last year. This demonstrates that the expansion of railway investment is serving as a new growth engine for economic and social development.
A representative from China State Railway Group stated, "Since the beginning of the year, the railway sector has systematically allocated resources to accelerate railway construction and strengthen on-site management, while also intensifying scientific and technological research. By improving overall management standards in areas such as safety, quality, investment, and the environment, we have laid the groundwork for the successful completion of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021?2025)."
He further emphasized, "Going forward, China State Railway Group will faithfully implement the strategic policies of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and will continue to promote high-quality railway construction that aligns with key national strategies and regional economic and social development. By accelerating the establishment of a modernized railway infrastructure system, we aim to contribute to the sustainable recovery and stable growth of the Chinese economy."
