On December 10, the Chongqing–Kunming High-Speed Railway achieved a key breakthrough with the drilling of the 24.8-kilometer Yiliang Tunnel, China’s longest high-speed rail tunnel designed for 350 kilometers per hour travel. Cutting beneath the Wumeng Mountains with up to 920 meters of overburden, the project overcame rock bursts, high temperatures and soft-rock deformation, staying on track for full line completion. | CGTN

China's 14th Five-Year Plan has powered a new era of rail innovation. High-speed trains, smart diagnostics and cutting-edge engineering are transforming how people move across the country. The Fuxing Hao — a sleek, state-of-the-art train that can reach speeds of 350 kilometers per hour, blends Chinese craftsmanship with next-generation technology. CGTN's Xu Xinchen takes us on board to see how innovation is driving China's rail revolution. #2025inReview #VisiontoReality #ChinaFiveYearPlan #2025i

🚄 1300 KM in 6 Hours…& the Coin Didn’t Even Fall 🪙 This is China’s bullet train system not a future plan, it’s already running. Speed? Up to 350 km/h. Stability? So smooth you can literally stand a coin upright while flying down tracks at jet speed. China has built over 48,000 km of high-speed rail, connecting almost every major city and they’re still expanding. How? ✅ Government-owned rail network ✅ Local manufacturing of tech & trains ✅ Long-term planning, not short-term patchwork ✅ Zero lan
