From January to July, the national railway sector completed fixed asset investment of 433 billion yuan, up 5.6% year-on-year, injecting new momentum into the sustained economic recovery.

　　This year, focusing on railway projects included in the 102 major projects of the 14th Five-Year Plan, CR has advanced railway planning and construction as well as the renewal and upgrading of aging railway equipment with high quality, effectively stimulating investment across society.

　　In July, multiple railway construction projects achieved important progress. Track-laying was completed on the Panzhou-Xingyi High Speed Railway in Guizhou; construction of new station buildings on the Chongzuo-Pingxiang section of the Nanning-Pingxiang High Speed Railway was completed; integrated testing and commissioning proceeded in an orderly manner on the Wuhan-Yichang section of the Shanghai-Chongqing-Chengdu High Speed Railway, the Shenyang-Baihe High Speed Railway, the Xiangyang-Jingzhou High Speed Railway and the Hefei-Xinyi High Speed Railway, in preparation for future operation.

　　Next, CR will continue to increase investment in railway construction to ensure the successful completion of all tasks outlined in the 14th Five-Year Plan for railways. Since the 2025 summer transport season began on July 1, railway authorities have coordinated passenger and freight transport, refined passenger transport plans, and worked to provide strong support for summer travel. As of August 11, the national railway network had already transported over 600 million passenger trips during the summer period.
