President Xi Jinping’s Speech at the Opening Ceremony of the 2nd UN Global Sustainable Transport Conference (Excerpt)

新中国成立以来，几代人逢山开路、遇水架桥，建成了交通大国，正在加快建设交通强国。我们坚持交通先行，建成了全球最大的高速铁路网、高速公路网、世界级港口群，航空航海通达全球，综合交通网突破600万公里。

Since the founding of New China, generation after generation of the Chinese people have worked in the spirit of opening roads through mountains and putting bridges over rivers, and turned China into a country with vast transport infrastructure. Today, we are redoubling our efforts to build a country with great transport strength. Convinced that transport should come first, we have built the world’s largest high-speed railway network, expressway network and world-class port clusters. We have opened air and sea routes that reach all parts of the world. We have set up an integrated transport network exceeding six million kilometers.

我们坚持创新引领，高铁、大飞机等装备制造实现重大突破，新能源汽车占全球总量一半以上，港珠澳大桥、北京大兴国际机场等超大型交通工程建成投运，交通成为中国现代化的开路先锋。

Convinced of the need for innovation, we have achieved major breakthroughs in equipment manufacturing like high-speed trains and large aircraft. We have more than half of the world’s new energy vehicles. Mega transport projects like the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and Beijing Daxing International Airport have been completed and put into operation. Transport has become a frontier in China’s modernization drive.

我们坚持交通天下，已经成为全球海运连接度最高、货物贸易额最大的经济体。新冠肺炎疫情期间，中欧班列、远洋货轮昼夜穿梭，全力保障全球产业链供应链稳定，体现了中国担当。

Convinced of the importance of global connectivity, we have become the economy best connected to the global shipping network and with the highest volume of trade in goods. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the China-Europe Railway Express and ocean-going cargo vessels have been running day and night to keep global industrial and supply chains stable, showcasing China’s sense of responsibility in the global community.
