[GS Zhou]

National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) of China today (July 20th, 2016) releases the details of the "Mid to Long Term Railway Planning of China" (the plan). According to the plan,
- by end of 2015, China owns 121,000 km rail lines in total, incl. 19,000 km High speed rail lines (HSR)
- by 2020, China expects to have 150,000 km rail lines, incl. 30,000 km HSR lines
- by 2025, China expects to have 175,000 km rail lines, incl. 38,000 km HSR lines
- by 2030, China will have 200,000 km rail lines totally, incl. 45,000 km HSR lines.

To give you a hint about how large China's HSR line is/will be, according to International Union of Railways, by Apr. 1st, 2015, there are in total 29,792 km HSR lines in operation in the world.

Extremely frustrated!
No 350km/h Shanghai-Wuhan-Yichang-Chengdu HSR.
As far as I know, politicians in Hubei Province are extremely angry!
And we in the province are ten times more furious!
They will start lobbying.
Seriously, what a joking plan!
Once again, a discriminatory plan towards Central China as ever!

They forget the demonstrations in Hubei.
Waiting for more rounds!

This is not the one we want.
We call for a bloody real 350km/h DIRECT HSR from Shanghai to Chengdu.
Another useless 250km/h line from Wuhan to Yichang, wtf?!

worst day of the year!
Three 10-million-people mega cities in the Midwest do not deserve a real 350km/h HSR.

Maybe the airline industry paid off local politicians to not have a 350 km hsr

It won't happen at the local government level.
Local governments are in desperate pursuit of HSR.
A county in Hubei Province successfully lobbied a HSR station with support from several retired generals from the county.

what do you think the reason for not having a 350 km HSR?

Discrimination!
They think another lame 250km/h is a gift from the heaven upon the residents of Chu Kingdom.

We will build a circle of walls around Chu Kingdom!
Then the Chinese HSR network will be paralysed.

Let's build a wall!
Qin Kingdom will pay it!

开开玩笑就好了。这种搞分裂的事情没必要拿到国外的论坛说。高铁的事情总归会有皆大欢喜的那天的。
