Major scientific and technological achievements in 2017

4. Fuxing bullet trains launched

Fuxing (rejuvenation), the latest Chinese bullet train, was developed by China independently. It was first officially launched for the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway June 26.

Among the 254 key standards used in the train, 84 percent are Chinese. Its core technologies, including its power supply, operation management and security monitoring, are all homegrown.

The introduction of the Fuxing has also smoothed the road for China to export its high-speed rail technologies and greatly enhanced Chinese soft power.
