Topic Reading-Vol.1628-9/25/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
China's high speed railway exceeds 20,000 km
Just amazing. Look at this map.

It took China only less than 10 years to build this 20,000km high speed railway network, which is already longer than the rest of the world's high-speed rail tracks combined. And it is still expanding. Their plan is to build 40,000km network by 2025!

China already has built highways to cover most of the major cities. Its annual car sales exceed over 25million, easily surpassing the U.S. (#2) and Japan (#3) combined.
It is also expanding the air transportation capacity, ordering thousands of passenger airplanes for the next several years.
Why not taking advantage of this soon-to-be the world most accommodating country for travelers, at least for public transport?
Enjoy seeing the maps and thinking of what the country will be like a few years from now.
