How China s high-speed rail network got built so fast CNN 3 hrs ago Ben Jones, CNN © Wang He/Getty Images AsiaPac/Getty Images With 37,900 kilometers of lines, China has the world s largest network of high-speed railways. At the beginning of the 21st century China had no high-speed railways. Slow and often uncomfortable trains plodded across this vast country, with low average speeds making journeys such as Shanghai-Beijing a test of travel endurance. Today, it s a completely different picture. The world s most populous nation has by some distance the world s largest network of high-speed railways. No fewer than 37,900 kilometers (about 23,500 miles) of lines crisscross the country, linking all of its major mega-city clusters, and all have been completed since 2008.
