History and Strategy of High-speed Rail Development
Comparison and Thinking of Sino-US High-speed Rail Industry
Introduction
- “Promoting the sound development of Sino-US relations” is the common aspiration of all Chinese and Americans. No matter how the world is changing, we will do our utmost to promote scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States.
- From the subway to the high-speed rail, the development history of the global high-speed rail is a fantastic story of “scientific and technological innovation serving humanity”. For example, in the past two decades, China has established a 20,000-mile railway network. The total length of China’s high-speed rail network is greater than the total length of railways in other parts of the world. The United States has a global leading position in science and technology. Why the development of high-speed rail in the United States is in stark contrast to China?
- Our lecturer Mr. Lee has worked in China for 12 years and worked in the United States for nearly 20 years. He served as the head of the railway business of GE, Siemens and Thales. Mr. Lee will share the history, strategy and technology of high-speed railway development. As well as Policies and impact on global markets.
