1:3 - This is the investment multiplier effect of high speed rail projects. Every 100 million yuan invested in high speed rail can directly drive approximately 300 million yuan in related industries such as metallurgy, construction and manufacturing, creating more than 2,200 jobs.
1:5 - This is the industrial boost ratio for the high speed rail sector. A single Fuxing EMU train has over 40,000 components, involving more than 600 first-tier supporting enterprises and over 1,500 second-tier suppliers, generating a fivefold industrial boost.
In addition to driving investment growth and stimulating the development of industrial chains, the continued expansion of the rail network has effectively reduced the time and space between regions in China, fostering a "same-city" effect, accelerating the flow of production factors, and promoting regional coordinated development. Along the railways, new urban belts, golden tourism corridors, industrial clusters and zones of economic prosperity are flourishing, becoming powerful engines for promoting high quality economic and social development.
Data shows that since 2012, China's railway fixed asset investment has reached 9.65 trillion yuan, with 66,000 kilometers of railways put into operation, including 38,000 kilometers of high speed rail. The growth rate of China's railway and high speed rail mileage far exceeds that of major countries worldwide. These achievements have played a positive role in improving the transportation system and ensuring sustained and healthy economic growth. Currently, China's railway construction and investment remain at a high level.
