First overseas high-speed railway project ready to roll

As the senior engineer who led the design team on the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway in Indonesia, China's first overseas high-speed railway project to fully adopt Chinese technologies and standards, Xia Jian was confident that China could build the railway well from the beginning.

"I am very confident with China's high-speed railway network, as we have the world's largest, fastest and modern high-speed railway system, and have rich management experiences. We also have abundant experience in building and operating high-speed railways in different climates and geological conditions," said Xia from China Railway Design Corp, adding that China has strength in building high-speed railways and can build them fast.

He also noted that China's high-speed railway standards meet the technical standards of the International Organization for Standardization, the International Electro-technical Commission and the International Union of Railways.
