China is
attempting to seek bigger markets and become more open to the world via
high-speed rail. 'Going Global' with high-speed rail is of huge
significance to China.High-speed rail symbolizes the restructuring of
China’s manufacturing as well as its ability to seize new market shares.
High-speed rail construction brings huge benefits to China. Large
numbers of skilled workers are trained during high-speed rail
construction, while more than 900 of China’s technical patents can be
further updated. Overall, high-speed rail construction equips China with
safer and faster transportation.
China's rapid
transformation from a country that introduces technology to a country
that exports technology is well worthy of note. China Railway
Corporation holds independent intellectual property rights to building
high-speed rail, with more than 900 international patents.
China
is now seeking win-win opportunities in any place where high-speed rail
is being built: the results are a growing economy, faster
transportation, and more standardized logistics. China, as the biggest
manufacturer and biggest trader in goods, opens up to the outside world
through building high-speed rail. However, a high-speed rail network is
not in itself enough for a modern country. An efficient and sound system
as well as an open mind are of equal importance.
Only when its
mind and its economy are open can a country integrate into the world via
logistics technology. Otherwise, railway construction would never lead
to any major reform. ‘Going Global’ with high-speed rail should bring a
win-win situation. Indeed, high-speed rail construction has strategic
significance. The construction of a high-speed rail network should be
market-oriented, otherwise its strategic targets are unlikely to be
achieved.
High-speed rail construction needs sound management and
flexible financing because of its huge costs. China should follow a
market-oriented policy in the process of building high-speed rail. This
will help China to increase its market share. In practice, sophisticated
negotiation skills and a practical marketing concept are needed for the
program of high-speed rail construction.
High-speed rail is one of China's most effective visiting cards and shows its economic viability at its best.
