   China is developing the world's first fleet of automated high-speed
   trains that can travel at a maximum speed of 350 kilometres per hour
   (217 miles per hour), state media reported.

   running at maximum speeds of 200 kph, according to the report.

   Tests of an automated high-speed system were carried out successfully
   between July and September on railways linking Beijing and Shenyang,
   Liaoning province, with total trial mileage of more than 186,000

   'The use of ATO on bullet trains is an important step to achieve
   "smart" high-speed railways,' according to Lu Dongfu, general manager
   of CRC.

   'This is essential to maintain China's global position as the era
   of automated high-speed trains approaches,' he added.

   Entirely designed and manufactured in China, the Fuxing, or
   Rejuvenation, debuted on the Beijing-Shanghai line in June 2017.

   It takes the high-speed train four hours and 28 minutes to whizz
   between the country's two largest cities. In the 1990s, the same
   journey between Beijing and Shanghai took at least a day and a night.

   At least 3,200 kilometres (1,988 miles) of this target will be
   high-speed rail, the national railway operator said, adding that it
   invested in 4,683 kilometres (2,909 miles) worth of new rail lines last
   year, of which 4,100 were high-speed rail.

China has more than two-thirds of the world's high-speed railways

   China has the world's largest high-speed railway network,
   which measures a staggering 35,000 kilometres (21,747 miles) as of
   2019, according to China Central Television Station.

   Nearly 30,000 kilometres (18,641 miles) of tracks, more than half of
   which are high-speed rail, were complete at a total cost of 3.9
   trillion yuan (£428 billion).

   The country's newest high-speed train model is 'Fuxing', or
   'Rejuvenation', which runs at a speed of 350 kilometres (217 miles) an
   hour.
