| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Balanced development of transportation in China had not received enough attention from the government for a long time and remained a bottleneck in the country's economy. New approaches to improve transportation date back to the 1980s only, when accent was placed on a higher quality of the transportation network, construction of high-speed railroads and express highways, introduction of technologies increasing the throughput and carrying capacity, fuel saving, and improvement of transportation logistics. With the world financial crisis under way, the transportation system has, paradoxically, emerged as an "anti-crisis stimulator" that spearheads development of the national economy as a whole. |
