On May 24, 2025, China has been accelerating the construction of numerous major projects this year, spanning from transportation infrastructure to industrial upgrades. The emphasis has shifted from energy resource development to productivity improvement, signifying a robust drive to enhance economic growth.
In the realm of transportation infrastructure, the Hebei Province has made significant strides, with the completion of the Grand Bridge over the Yellow River and the expansion of the Guangxi road network, enhancing connectivity across the region. Major projects like the Geng County High-speed Rail Station and others have been prioritized as key indicators of the rapid advancement in China’s high-speed rail construction.
As of May, transportation construction has continued to gain momentum. The national highway No. 338 has seen preliminary work on the Grand Bridge over the Yellow River, with plans for the main span to be completed soon. The project aims to significantly improve transportation efficiency, facilitating faster travel times and enhancing economic connections in the region.
Industrial projects have also seen substantial investments. The Shandong Province has initiated the construction of 80,000 tons of annual output for a key industrial project, which is set to boost the local economy by generating an annual output value of approximately 67 billion yuan (equivalent to $10 billion). This initiative is aimed at strengthening high-end manufacturing and promoting green development.
In the new energy sector, the establishment of a power station in the Jiangsu Province is expected to generate an estimated 4.5 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, contributing to regional energy resources and supporting sustainable development.
Beginning this year, China has accelerated the construction of major projects under the “Two Reserves” initiative (national strategic reserves and construction of key projects). This initiative emphasizes high-quality development and promotes effective resource utilization.
According to the latest data from the National Development and Reform Commission, from January to April, the fixed asset investment in key projects has grown by 4.0%. In the context of the “Two Reserves” initiative, the growth rate of fixed asset investment in infrastructure projects has soared to 5.8%, showing a significant increase compared to previous periods.
Overall, the focus on enhancing productivity and resource efficiency will remain a priority as China continues to implement its developmental goals. The ongoing construction of major projects signifies a commitment to economic growth and improved infrastructure, laying a robust foundation for the future.
