"Progress" and "China" are pretty much synonyms, but what they did with the railway system during recent years is almost a miracle. Only in 2018 alone, the country built over 4 100 km (2 548 mi) of high-speed railways and raised the total length to 29 000
km (18 000
mi). By
February 2020, the country plans to have over 36 000 km (22 350 mi) of high-speed railway in operation.
