HOHHOT, May 8 (Xinhua) -- The first high-speed railway in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region started test runs on Sunday to prepare for the beginning of regular use by the end of July.

The high-speed train ran at a speed of 250 to 275 km per hour on a section from Ulanqab to Hohhot, capital of the region, during Sunday's trial, according to Hohhot Railway Bureau.

The section in Inner Mongolia is part of the high-speed railway that links Hohhot to Zhangjiakou in Hebei Province, the co-host city of the 2022 Olympic Winter Games. When it is operational by the end of July, the travel time between Ulanqab and Hohhot will be shortened to 35 minutes from the current one hour.

The 286.8 km-long Zhangjiakou-Hohhot high-speed rail, with a designed speed of 250 km per hour, will be a major high-speed rail in north China upon completion.

It is expected to be completed and put into service in 2018. At that time, the Zhangjiakou-Hohhot high-speed rail will be connected to the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed rail, which is under construction. The travel time from Hohhot to Beijing will be reduced from the average nine hours to within three hours.

You really summed it up.

Some of this people's mentality is "unpresidented (DT)." They give you the impression that they are simply waiting for that moment of being great in an instant without wasting too much time and effort in a long historical cycle of development.

It is like poor guy standing idle and commenting on the deficiencies of the rich guy who works hard everyday.

Doing nothing is the surest way of making no mistake, in that sense, those people/countries do never err.

Isn't it wonderful that they simply stay idle and throw random criticism at us as if what has been accomplished so far has been accidental and we have had no input in them.

@Sinopakfriend , hard to understand this mentality. I do not want to paint an entire group of people with the same brush, but some people do really excel at unconstructiveness.


Ah, my friend,

The reasons are anthropological. A rational analysis would bear naked the underlying reasons of such attitude, behaviour.

However, what I find most fascinating is the current dynamics of the Cow Dialectics.

The Sons of the Cow are devout and dedicated in their pursuit of honour and dignity for their Holly Mother Cow. Her well being is of spureme importance to them.

I have taken upon myself to understand with open mind what are the reasons and motivation of the Sons of the Cow. Why do they believe what they believe... without judgement I shall educate myself in their belief system.


Regarding your question I can only say that the underlying mechanisms of all attitudes and behaviour are Dialectic orientations.

Take a look at the Chinese Section here on PDF.

Most of the threads are systematic and inputs are rational, very well organised.

A keen observer can discern that the Dialectic thrust of the Chiense society is indeed Science and Technology driven development. It is not mere words/slogans.

Apart from some overzealous posters most of the inputs/post of my Chinese friends are clean, rational.

Now if you visit the indian section you will see a dedication towards vedic revival, Cow Dialectics and the passionate committment of the Sons of the Cow. And of course, what such Dialectic Acceleration brings forth... the evolving situation.

Therein, perhaps, lies your answers.

After ten years when you might be publishing your books/papers you might find the current accelerations of thought processes and their corresponding policies as the foundation of where would China be and where would india find itself in say 2030.

Regards,

SPF


PS. We must avoid comparing the two countries. These are two different civilisations.

Is this railway the first major HSR project to be inaugurated in 2017?

Chinese train maker to develop 400kph track-changing locomotives
By Zhang Huan (People's Daily Online) 13:41, May 09, 2017

China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation Limited (CRRC), China’s rail car manufacturer, is devoted to researching and developing locomotives that can travel at speeds of up to 400 kilometers per hour and also change tracks to better facilitate rail transportation between regions that utilize different track types, the company revealed on May 8.

CRRC's chairman of the board, Liu Hualong, revealed the plan at a press conference on the Belt and Road Initiative, held by the Information Office of the State Council. The press conference was hosted ahead of the two-day Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, set to kick off in Beijing on May 14.

Liu disclosed that CRRC has received orders totaling 10 billion RMB ($1.45 billion) from Malaysia in past three years. He added that, as a next step, CRRC will produce new technologies and products to better adapt itself to international transport and interconnection.

For instance, when designing motor train units for Malaysia, the corporation created specially designed carriages for female passengers as well as prayer rooms, bringing enormous convenience to both operators and passengers, according to CRRC.

In addition, Liu said that CRRC’s products are in 83 percent of countries that contain railways across the world. In recent years, CRRC has received orders from many major cities including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and London.

CRRC’s assets abroad have surged from 3 billion RMB up to 20.6 billion in just three years, from 2013 to 2016, with its total number of employees climbing from 509 to 4,808 in that same period. As of April, CRRC possessed 75 branches in 26 countries and regions, among which 50 were established after the Belt and Road Initiative was put forward in 2013.
