China's transportation system blazing new paths


China has made notable achievements to build a strong transportation system in the past decade, with the successful construction of the world's largest high-speed railway network, an extensive expressway system, and a comprehensive postal and express delivery network, Minister of Transport Li Xiaopeng said in Beijing on Friday.
He made the remarks during an interview after a meeting of the second session of the 14th National People's Congress at the Great Hall of the People.
"China boasts world-class port clusters. The construction of key projects such as the Sichuan-Xizang Railway and the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge has been accelerated. The rural road system has been greatly improved," he said, adding that all villages have access to the postal services.
Li said China will continue to improve the transportation infrastructure, deepen the reform of the comprehensive transportation system, and promote cost reduction, quality improvement, and efficiency enhancement in transportation and logistics.
