Xinhua, August 13, 2015 Adjust font size:

An exhibition on China's high- speed railway was held here on Thursday to promote the country's bullet train technology.

Eentitled"China High Speed Railway on Fast Track Exhibition," the week-long event was opened Thursday by Chinese Ambassador to Indonesia Xie Feng. "China now has the world's longest high-speed train railway network and has rich experience in transportation," Xie addressed the opening ceremony.

The exhibition highlights operation of bullet train and infrastructure in China to support its operation.

According to Xie, China has been successfully operating 17,000 kilometers of high-speed rail, or 55 percent of the world's total.

Nearly 1.7 billion passengers have been transported by high- speed rail around the world last year, of which 0.91 billion have taken China's high-speed trains, he said.

China is also the only country in the world capable of operating high-speed train in both hot and cold environment, Xie noted, adding that its bullet train is compatible with international standard as it has similar technology with those operated in Western countries.

The event was also attended by Indonesian State-run Enterprises Minister He Huawu and Chief Engineer of China Railway Corporation He Huawu. Endi
