With leading technology innovation and application, high-speed rail has become a symbol of Made-in-China and going-global products, said a white paper released by the State Council Information Office on Dec. 29, 2016.

China's technologies for high-speed, alpine, plateau and heavy-haul railways have reached the world's advanced level. Railway and highway construction technologies have overcome world-level geological challenges such as plateau permafrost, and expansive soil and sand. High-performance railway equipment technologies with proprietary intellectual property rights, represented by high-speed railways and high-power locomotives, have reached the advanced world level, with some of them leading the world.
