Hold onto your train tickets, folks! China’s transport network is breaking records faster than a Marvel movie franchise. Under the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), the country now boasts the world’s largest high-speed rail, highway, and postal networks – and the numbers are wilder than a TikTok trend. 🚀
Transport Minister Liu Wei dropped the stats this week: 162,000 kilometers of operational railways (that’s like circling Earth four times!), with 10,000 km added just for high-speed rail. Imagine zipping from Beijing to Shanghai in under 4 hours – coffee barely gets cold! ☕
But wait, there’s more:
🚶 180 million people traveling daily – that’s moving Australia’s entire population every 24 hours!
📦 478 million express parcels delivered daily – your late-night online shopping spree is in good hands.
🚚 160 million tonnes of goods transported daily – enough to build 16 Burj Khalifas. Every. Single. Day.
Minister Liu called this a "historic growth" phase, and honestly? We’re just here for the infrastructure glow-up. 🌟 With these upgrades, China’s not just moving people – it’s turbocharging global supply chains and redefining what modern connectivity looks like.
