An important goal of China's high-speed rail is to shorten commuting times between major cities. By the end of November, the total length of China's railway network had reached 140,000 kilometers. Over the next 15 years, China plans to build another 200,000 kilometers of new railways. By 2035, travel time between cities within China's provinces is expected to be no more than one hour, while travel time between neighboring provincial capital agglomerations will be completed within three hours.
The large aircraft C919 is a large passenger aircraft with the vast majority of China's independent intellectual property rights, and is a strong competitor to Airbus A320 and Boeing 737. At present, five C919 aircraft have been put into test flights, demonstrating the development level and innovation ability of China's aviation industry.
The artificial solar project is a key project of China's nuclear fusion research, which aims to simulate the nuclear fusion process inside the sun and provide mankind with almost unlimited clean energy. The Circulator 2M unit under construction in China is the largest tokamak in China and the most important verification project in the artificial solar project. It is expected to be completed by the end of this year, laying the groundwork for the construction of the world's first stable-burning artificial solar project for power generation within the coming decades.
Hualong 1 is a third-generation nuclear reactor with completely independent intellectual property rights in China, which is efficient, safe and economical. At present, about one-third of the world's nuclear power units under construction are located in China, showing China's rapid development and leading position in the field of nuclear energy. China is expected to surpass the United States as the world's largest nuclear energy nation by 2030.
In addition to the above four areas, China also has many national business cards in other fields, demonstrating China's scientific and technological strength and innovation capabilities. For example, thermonuclear fusion technology, naphthenic heavy oil exploitation and utilization technology, Internet of Things technology, magnetic levitation technology, etc., are all technologies in which China is in a leading position in the international arena and have contributed to China's economic and social development and international cooperation.
