Since HSR service started in China in 2008, it has undergone rapid growth.

China’s HSR had another technological leap when a major breakthrough was made in 2015, using independent R&D.
Travellers have become so accustomed to the incredible speed of HSR that many of us have already forgotten the old, slow trains of just a decade ago. Now, China cooperates with dozens of countries around the world in order to share its groundbreaking technology and develop HSR services overseas.
