China‘s High-Speed Rail (English Edition): How the World’s Largest Rail Network Was Built, and Why It Matters

From Technology Transfer and Self-Development to 40,000+ Kilometres of Track, Shrinking Travel Times and Going Global — A Readable Introduction to China‘s Rail Revolution
This book explains how China went from having almost no high-speed rail in the early 2000s to operating the largest high-speed network in the world—more than 40,000 kilometres of track—in less than two decades. It covers the technology deals that started it, the decision to develop trains and tracks domestically, the engineering challenges of building lines through mountains and permafrost, and the way high-speed rail changed how people live, work, and travel across China. It also looks at how Chinese companies and standards are now moving into other countries. If you want to understand how this happened and why it matters—rather than read an engineering manual or a policy document—this is it.
