In 2008, the Ministry of Railways announced plans to build 25,000 km (16,000 mi) of high-speed railways with trains reaching normal speeds of 350 km/h. [7] [8] China invested $50 billion on its high-speed rail system in 2009 and the total construction cost of the high-speed rail system is $300 billion. [7]
Trackside signalling is not mandatory and can be replaced with cab signalling using DMI. It is considered to be a "quasi-moving-block" system. [3] [4] This is currently in use for all of the 200–250 km/h (120–160 mph) lines on China's high-speed railway system, with a backup system of CTCS-2.
By the end of 2020, China Railway High-speed provided service to all provinces in China, and operated just under 38,000 km (24,000 mi) passenger tracks in length, accounting for about two-thirds of the world's high-speed rail tracks in commercial service. [2] [3] [4] China has revealed plans to extend the HSR to 70,000 km by year 2035. [4]
