(Introduction: There are two major uncertainties surrounding the Beijing-Taipei high-speed railway: technology and politics. As for technology, is it feasible?) Wang Mengshu, a deputy to the National People's Congress, Deputy Chief Engineer of China Railway Group, and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, stated that from both a technical and financial perspective, the construction of the Beijing-Taipei high-speed railway project is entirely feasible. )

“ 13th Five-Year Plan ” The draft outline proposes building a high-speed railway line from Beijing to Taipei. This route plan has not only drawn intense attention from people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait but has also become a major focus of media coverage at this year’s Two Sessions.

　　 “ Ten years ago, we already began studying the feasibility plan for the Beijing-Taipei high-speed railway. Engineering and technical personnel have now gained a thorough understanding of the seabed conditions and geological landforms. ” Wang Mengshu, a deputy to the National People's Congress who is attending the Fifth Session of the 12th National People's Congress in Beijing, stated that from both a technical and financial perspective, the construction of the Beijing-Taipei high-speed railway project is entirely feasible.

　　Wang Mengshu, who serves as both the Deputy Chief Engineer of China Railway and an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, introduced from a technical perspective that the optimal plan for the Beijing-Taipei High-Speed Railway is: “ East Line Plan ” That is, the route plan via Pingtan to Taipei. “ With lead wires added at both ends, the length of the undersea tunnel is approximately... 200 Kilometers. From a safety perspective, the depth needs to reach... 30 Over one meter. ”

　　Wang Mengshu also stated that, according to the plan, the operating speed of the Beijing-Taipei high-speed railway’s undersea tunnel section will be approximately... 200 A thousand kilometers—travel from Pingtan to Taipei will take just one hour. With today’s technology, the Beijing-Taipei high-speed railway could be fully operational within ten years. Regarding the overall project budget for the Beijing-Taipei high-speed railway, Wang Mengshu said: “ Approximately 2600 hundred million ~3000 100 million yuan ( Renminbi )。”

　　 - The Bengbu section, the Hefei-Bengbu passenger railway line, and the Hefei-Fuzhou passenger railway line—these three sections collectively form the Beijing-Fuzhou High-Speed Railway. The Chinese mainland and Taiwan will be connected via the construction of a tunnel through the Taiwan Strait.

　　Among these, the Beijing-Fuzhou High-Speed Railway within mainland China shares a common track with the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway from Beijing to Bengbu. After that, it branches off from the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway at Bengbu in Anhui Province and continues through Hefei and Huangshan in Anhui Province, then on to Shangrao in Jiangxi Province, and finally reaches Wuyishan, Nanping, and Fuzhou in Fujian Province. The designed operating speed is... 300 Kilometers and above, already has 2010 Year of construction started, as of 2015 It’s basically completed by the end of the year.

　　It is reported that the section from Fuzhou to Taiwan will be routed via a corridor reserved for the Fuzhou segment. The plan is to connect directly from Pingtan Island in Fujian to the coastal area of Taoyuan, Taiwan, via an undersea tunnel, and then proceed to Taipei.
