- Abstract
- For quite a long time, China has not paid enough attention to balanced transportation development, and it has turned into a bottleneck of the national economy. From the early 1980s, however, new approaches to this industry’s improvement have been adopted: special stress was made on improving the quality of the transportation network and high-speed passenger rail-roads and highways have been built; new technologies have been introduced to increase trans-portation and freight capacity, save fuel, and upgrade transportation logistics. Paradoxical as it might seem, the world financial crisis, though, turned the industry into an “anti-crisis tool” stimulating development of the national economy.
