China's high speed railways have witnessed significant development in recent years.
China now has the world's greatest high-speed rail network -- 22,000 kilometers as of the end of 2016, or about 60 percent of the world's total.
With leading technology innovation and application, high-speed rail has become a symbol of Made-in-China and going-global products.
Let's have a look at those major achievements in Chinese high speed railway development.
