Over the past ten years, China’s transportation development has seen both historic accomplishments and changes.

Its significant economic growth and increase in standard of living would not have been possible without the quick growth of the transportation industry.

China has constructed and upgraded over 2.53 million kilometres of rural roads during the previous ten years, linking 105,000 administrative villages to hardened highways. China added 52,000 kilometres to its overall railway mileage during the same period with fixed asset investments in railways totaling 7 trillion yuan (about $1 trillion). Additionally, an additional 82 civil airports have been added or moved, bringing the total to 250. There are 5,581 aviation routes in the nation now.

The Chinese people’s standard of living is rising thanks to the transportation system’s ongoing improvements, and the country’s rapidly expanding infrastructure has a substantial positive impact on transportation capability, quality, and efficiency.

A greater number of Chinese citizens are able to pursue their aspirations thanks to the well-built infrastructure and comprehensive public services.

A total of 493 million Chinese, or 35% of the country’s population, do not reside in their home provinces, according to the seventh national census. In addition, China’s floating population increased by about 70% to 376 million over the previous ten years.
