Let the railway "go out"

“In the “going out” strategy of China’s railways, our goal is to become a world-class enterprise in the rail transit equipment industry by linking the world to the future.” Yu Weiping, deputy president of the National People’s Congress and China’s CNR Group, stated that in recent years, With the development of China’s railways and the implementation of the “going out” strategy, China CNR’s export value has grown from US$50 million at the time of the establishment of the Group in 2000 to approximately US$1.7 billion in 2013. This significant increase in data shows that the state's strategy of encouraging the export of large-scale railway equipment sets has not only promoted the transformation and upgrading of railway production and manufacturing enterprises, but also accelerated the pace of further “going out” of China’s railways. On February 28 this year, the EMU electric vehicle group produced by CNR Changke Stock Co., Ltd. rushed to Brazil and was about to rush to the "Aorta" of the 5 urban rail transits in Rio de Janeiro, and reached the venue of the World Cup - Maraca. Yu Weiping said that for railway manufacturing enterprises, only by being superior and stronger to achieve globalization and sustainable development can they have a greater say in the international market.

"China's railway major equipment manufacturing industry has progressed rapidly and has strong brand strength in the international market. It has been widely recognized by the market and has met the conditions for 'going out'." As a representative of the National People's Congress in the electrical equipment manufacturing industry, the TBEA Hengyang General Manager Yan Yanmin of Transformer Co., Ltd. is full of confidence that railway and other major equipment manufacturing industries “go abroad”. He said that the country should introduce as soon as possible the leading enterprises of the major equipment manufacturing industry, such as railways, to formulate the “going out” implementation details.

The railways "revitalized" Silk Road two sessions this year, the Chongqing delegation once again let the "new Europe" 3 words become a hot spot. The successful construction of this large channel is expected to drive the development of tourism along the route. Tang Zongwei, deputy secretary of the National People's Congress and deputy party secretary of the Chongqing Liangjiang New Area Party Working Committee, said that Chongqing is considering the development of Fuxin-Shenzhen Passenger Dedicated Line so that ordinary people can watch the scenery along the train and experience the customs of various countries. Chongqing will also build a Russian-style town in the Liangjiang New Area, and introduce hotels and Russian-style catering services, Russian-style performances, and Russian training.

Zhao Qing, deputy to the National People's Congress and party secretary of the Bortala Mongolia Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang, believes that the most important focus of the construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt is “passing through.” The most basic is to connect the railways. The Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture must take the development of the comprehensive transportation of the Silk Road Economic Zone as its development space. By speeding up the construction of railway ports and continuously expanding the cooperation space with the Central Asian countries, it will fully inspire the enormous potential and vitality of the Alashankou and bring it out. The transition from the "corridor corridor" to the "economic belt".

Huang Jun, who arrived in Beijing from the ancient city of Xi'an on a high-speed train to arrive in Beijing, has a unique understanding of Xi'an's construction into a trade and logistics center of the Silk Road Economic Belt. She suggested that the State support the construction of the Xi'an Railway Logistics Grand Passage, use Xi’an as the core node to open westward and connect the Central Asian Railways, provide strong support for the operation of the “Chang'an International Freight Train”, and promote the supply of goods to and from Central Asia. Xi'an realizes the collection and distribution and builds a modern comprehensive transport hub with seamless integration of aviation, railways and highways.

Accelerating the development of the inter-city railway inter-city railway is not only an economical, environmentally friendly, fast-paced means of transportation, but also an important infrastructure for stimulating the coordinated development of the regional economy and society. National People's Congress Jiang Yanhui proposed to increase policy support and accelerate the development of inter-city railways.

To achieve the development goals of the intercity railway, Jiang Shuhui believes that it is necessary to start with four aspects. First, it should further increase coordination and coordination to form an overall coordination mechanism for key projects, focusing on intercity railways and high-speed railways, highways, aviation, and urban public transport, and subways. The layout of the convergence, do a good job of planning and construction of intercity railway supporting projects. The second is to further deepen the reform of the railway investment and financing system and mobilize the enthusiasm of the entire society to invest in inter-city railways. We should effectively and simply decentralize our power and encourage social funds to invest long-term in the construction of intercity railways. The third is to further promote the overall development of "land-based road maintenance" and enhance the self-development capabilities of railway enterprises. The local government departments should take forward planning for the land along the railway, and railway enterprises should actively innovate the profit model of inter-city railway construction and operation. The fourth is to further implement fiscal and taxation and government subsidy policies, and to maintain the continuity of the state's support for railway transport policies. From the characteristics of intercity railway operations, preferential policies for intercity railway companies are given.
