Minister of Transportation Li Xiaopeng has given an update on the expansion of the country's rail and road networks.
交通部部長李小鵬介紹了我國鐵路公路網(wǎng)擴張的最新情況。

"By the end of 2017, the total mileage of China's operational railway reached 127,000 kilometers, among which the mileage of high-speed railway was 25,000 kilometers, ranking No. 1 in the world. The total mileage of roads in service was 4.77 million kilometers, among which the mileage of expressway was 136,000 kilometers, also ranking No. 1 in the world."

李小鵬表示，交通運輸部正研究制定交通強國建設綱要。實現(xiàn)交通強國大體上要分兩步走：

第一步，2020到2035年，基本建成交通強國（basically building China's strength in transportation），使我國進入世界交通強國的行列（join the ranks of countries with strong transportation network）；

第二步，2036到本世紀中葉，全面建成交通強國（finishing building China into a country with strong transportation network），使我國進入世界交通強國前列（become leading powers in the world in terms of transportation）。
