Sichuan's railway construction expanding at faster pace
四川省委书记彭清华：四川铁路建设迎来高峰期 东南西北四个方向同时发力
Railway construction in Southwest China's Sichuan province is picking up in intensity as the province steps up efforts to build itself into an inland transportation hub within China as well as a bridge that connects the country with rest of the world, the province's Party secretary said on Monday.
四川省委书记周一表示，随着四川着力建设联通世界的内陆交通枢纽，四川铁路建设正迎来一个高峰期。
Peng Qinghua, secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, said at a media conference in Beijing that Sichuan is currently building multiple railways in all directions.

"Before 1949, the infrastructure of Sichuan province was quite outdated. There was no railway, and the total length of highways was merely 2,000 kilometers," Peng said.
彭清华表示，解放前，四川基础设施非常落后，没有一条运营铁路，公路总里程只有2000多公里并且等级都很低。
Construction of the Chengdu-Nanchong-Dazhou-Wanzhou High-speed Railway heading east will start soon, while the westward bound Sichuan-Tibet Railway is under construction, and the part from Chengdu to Ya'an, Sichuan province, is now open to traffic.
东向，正在建设成南达万高速铁路，按350公里时速设计，前期工作进展比较顺利，很快就要开工。西向，川藏铁路很快就要开工建设，现在成都到雅安这段已经通车。
Toward the south, the Sichuan section of the Guiyang-Guangzhou High-speed Railway was put into operation a few days ago, and the Chengdu-Zigong-Yibin High-speed Railway is being built. Northward, the railway to connect Chengdu with Xining, Qinghai province, and with Lanzhou, Gansu province, is under construction. Once completed, the railway will connect the Silk Road Economic Belt more easily.
南向，成贵铁路四川段前天（小编注：6月15日）已经通车，正在同步建设成自宜高速铁路。北向，正在建设从成都到西宁和兰州的铁路，这条铁路建成以后，将更加便捷地连接丝绸之路经济带。
"Sichuan's comprehensive transportation system is constantly improving. The operational length of railways reached 4,970 kms, and that of the highway system surpassed 330,000 kms, taking the lead for the country. The China Railway Express that began in Chengdu surpassed 3,500 lines, taking up one fourth of the country's total, and ranking first among all cities in China," Peng said.
“四川现代综合交通运输体系日益完善，铁路运营里程4970公里，从成都开行的中欧班列达到3500多列，排在全国各城市之首；公路总里程超过33万公里，其中高速公路通车里程7238公里，均居全国前列。”彭清华说道。
In terms of air transportation, Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport now has 117 international routes, and the airport's passenger throughput last year totaled 53 million, ranking fourth in the nation. In addition, Chengdu is constructing Tianfu International Airport, which is expected to open in 2021, bolstering connections between Sichuan and the rest of the world.
现在，成都双流国际机场开通了国际航线117条，去年旅客吞吐量近5300万人次。天府国际机场正在建设中，后年成都举办世界大学生运动会之前将投入使用。千百年来“蜀道难”的历史将一去不复返，四川与世界各国各地的联系会越来越紧密。
"Chengdu is further opening up to the outside world. I see great development potential in the city," said Jim Mullinax, the US consul-general in Chengdu, at the Chengdu Opening-up Conference.
“成都正在进一步扩大对外开放，我认为成都的发展潜力巨大，”美国驻成都总领事林杰伟曾在成都对外开放大会上说。
The improvement of Sichuan's infrastructure construction resulted from robust financial support. Data from the State Council Information Office showed that in 2018, the total social investment in fixed assets in Sichuan reached 2.8 trillion yuan ($404 billion), and the amount of investment per hour is much higher now than that was expended in the whole of 1952.
四川基础设施建设的改善得益于强劲的财政支持。国务院新闻办公室的数据显示，2018年，四川省社会固定资产投资总额达到2.8万亿元人民币，现在每小时的投资额都比1952年全年高出很多。
Together with the scale of investment, the province's economy has sharply improved. The State Council Information Office said the gross domestic product of Sichuan province totaled 4.07 trillion yuan last year, ranking sixth in the country and first in western China.
随着投资规模的扩大，该省的经济得到了大幅改善。国务院新闻办公室数据显示，去年四川省国内生产总值为4.07万亿元，位居全国第六、西部第一。
"We expect Sichuan's GDP to increase by another 1 trillion yuan in the coming three years," Peng said.
彭清华表示，四川全省经济总量预计今后3年还可以再新增1万亿元。
