CCTV reporter: What is the core idea of "the outline for building a transportation power"? In addition, this year is the 70th anniversary of the founding of new China. What achievements have we made in the field of transportation in the past 70 years? Thank you.

Answer: Since the founding of new China, under the leadership of the party and with the support of all walks of life and the masses, the transportation industry has made remarkable achievements in history, and has undergone historic changes. Our comprehensive transportation should be said to be improving day by day, our infrastructure scale is increasing, our equipment level is constantly improving, our scientific and technological innovation ability is constantly improving, foreign cooperation is expanding, and transport service capacity is also significantly improved. As we all know, China's high-speed rail, China's road, China's bridges, China's ports and China's airports have become our bright card in New China.

Some figures can be briefly reported to increase your impression. Let's start with infrastructure and railway. By the end of 2018, the total mileage of our railway business was 132 thousand km, which is 5 times higher than that in 1949. The high-speed rail has been out of nothing, and now its mileage has reached 29 thousand km, which is already the number one in the world. On the road, the total mileage of traffic is 4.847 million kilometers, 60 times that of 1949. Highway is also from scratch, now 143,000 kilometers, ranking first in the world. In terms of water transport, the total mileage of the navigable waterways throughout the country is 127,000 kilometers, which is 1.7 times that of 1949. Among them, there are 66 thousand kilometers above the sea level, and the country has 23919 production berths, which is 148.6 times that of 1949. There are 2379 wharves above 10000 tons. At the end of last year, the world's ports ranked according to throughput. The first ten ports accounted for 7. The number one was Hong Kong port. Second of them were port ports. (2.540, 0, 0%), Port Hong Kong (3.890, 0, 0%) is fifth, Port Hong Kong (7.800, 0, 0%) is sixth, and Hong Kong is ranked the second largest port. In civil aviation, there are 235 certified airports in China, 37 airports with annual passenger throughput of 10 million, and the total number of scheduled flights reaches 4945, which is 412.1 times that of 1950. In the postal sector, by the end of 2018, the total length of the postal road will be 9.85 million kilometers. There will be 275,000 business outlets in the postal industry, 14 times and 10.4 times as many as in 1949, respectively. That is to say, infrastructure. If we look at the transport situation, the total number of passenger transport completed in 2018 is 17.9 billion, which is 13.1 times that of 1949, and the total volume of goods completed is 50.6 billion tons, which is 271 times that of 1949. From these figures, we can see that the development of transportation, the people's sense of access, happiness, security is also constantly improving. Of course, we are well aware that there are still some problems and shortcomings in the development of our transportation. For example, our infrastructure is not complete enough, and there are still many shortcomings in the infrastructure in remote and poor areas. For example, although the equipment is modernized, the research and development capacity is not very strong and needs to be improved. For example, the logistics industry is not developed enough, the cost of logistics needs to be reduced, and the efficiency of logistics needs to be further improved. For example, management ability and service level need to be further improved. This is exactly the problem that needs to be solved in the construction of a powerful transportation country. The Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China made an important decision to build a strong transportation country. As I said just now, this is an important decision made by the Party Central Committee. In my opinion, there are four aspects of great significance:

First, building a strong transportation country is the need of serving the people. We have entered a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics. People's living standards are constantly improving. People's demands for a happier and happier life are higher. Therefore, the transportation industry has put forward higher requirements. So building a powerful transportation country is to meet the needs of the people and serve the people. < p > < p > secondly, it is the need of serving the country. Transportation industry is a basic, strategic, leading and service industry. Its development will inevitably play a role in safeguarding and promoting the national economy. Therefore, building a strong transportation country will provide a strong guarantee for speeding up the construction of a strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power. The third is the need of the times. Nowadays, with the rapid development of science and technology and the emergence of new industries, new technologies and industries put forward higher requirements for the development of transportation. Speeding up the construction of a powerful transportation country will help seize the opportunities of the world scientific and technological revolution and promote better and faster development of the transportation industry.

Fourth, it is the need to adhere to problem-oriented and promote the development of high-quality transportation. As I said just now, our transportation industry has made great progress and made great achievements in the past 70 years, but there are still a series of problems, shortcomings, shortcomings and shortcomings. Through the construction of a powerful transportation country, we can overcome difficulties, solve problems, improve shortcomings and move forward better and faster.
