The strategic core is to extend the scale of railway network, and raise the standard of railway technology, and adapt the national economy. In January 2004, the State Department approved “Mid-to-long Term Railway Network Plan”, which believes that railway has the advantages such as large transport capacity, low cost and plays a key role in the comprehensive system of transport. It is significant to set up a plan to speed up the development of railway and promote the national economy.

Slide 17: 

17 With a large population, huge area, imbalance between resources and industries, the economic gap between different areas, the rising of living standard and economy, and the requirement of better service quality in transportation, China needs railways, a mass transit with large transport capacity, low cost, high safety and all-weather transport, to match the development features of our economy and society, which are large transport capacity, long haul passenger and freight transport, and the continuos growth of the transport ’ s needs. 我国人口众多，地域辽阔，资源分布和工业布局不平衡，区域经济发展差异较大，随着人民生活水平提高和经济结构优化升级，旅客货主对运输快捷、经济便利、安全正点等方面的质量要求越来越高，铁路作为大众化、大能力、低成本、全天候、安全性好的交通工具，是符合我国经济和社会发展特点的大运量、长距离客货运输主力，运输需求必将持续大幅度增长。 1 、 加快铁路发展的意义 The meaning of speeding up the railway development

Slide 18: 

18 The electrified railway system is a system suitable for China, a nation without much petroleum. Railway has strong adaptability and high utilize ratio of energy resources. Electrified railway system contributes a lot to the energy-saving public transit system . 我国煤多油少，石油资源十分短缺，铁路具有能源利用率高、适应性强的优势，加快铁路建设，尤其是电气化铁路建设，对构筑资源节约型的现代化交通体系有重要作用 。 1 、 加快铁路发展的意义 The Meaning of Speeding up the Railway Development

Slide 19: 

19 For having a less polluted environment and saving agricultural space, China needs railway, a transport system that does not need much space, won’t pollute the environment, and has fewer accidents, to support sustainable development in the society. In a word, railway system should be the prior transport system in China. 我国人均耕地面积少，土地资源有限，自然环境破坏和污染相当严重，铁路具有土地占地少、环境污染小、事故率低等优势，经济社会的可持续发展，要求建立以铁路为骨干的环境友好型的现代化交通体系 。 1 、 加快铁路发展的意义 The Meaning of Speeding up The Development of Railway
