According to data recently released by the Ministry of Transport, China's fixed-asset investment in transport infrastructure reached 345.8 billion yuan in July, a year-on-year increase of 26.7%, achieving positive growth for four consecutive months and accelerating month by month. From January to July, a total of 1,795.7 billion yuan was invested in transport infrastructure, an increase of 9.4% over the same period last year. Among them, investment in roads and waterways reached 1,353.7 billion yuan, 75.2% of the annual target of 1.8 trillion yuan, an increase of 12.1% year-on-year. Railway investment reached 386.815 billion yuan, a significant increase over the same period last year. It is worth noting that the construction of major projects is also better than expected. By the end of July, 232 major projects worth more than 10 billion yuan had all resumed and reached production. In the second half of the year, 24 projects will also be opened, including the Yinxi High-speed Railway, the Hebei section of The Beijing-Xionginter-City Railway, the He’an High-speed railway, the Lianzhen Huaizhen High-speed Railway, the Geku Railway in Xinjiang and the Quning Railway.

About 4,400 kilometers of new railway lines are expected to be opened, including 2,300 kilometers of high-speed railway. The “l(fā)ocomotive” role of railway construction in the "six stability", "six guarantees" is emerging, bringing vitality to a number of industrial chains.
