64-year-old Li Xiaopeng (李小鹏) has been in office since fall 2016. Under him, the Ministry of Transport expanded the high-speed train network in particular. According to the 14th five-year plan, which Li helped draw up and runs until 2025, every Chinese citizen will be able to reach a highway within 15 minutes and a railroad within an hour. Li aims to create a world-class transport architecture with a transport network of around 700,000 km by 2035: 200,000 km of railways, 460,000 km of roads, and 25,000 km of waterways. And all of this will be cost-efficient and environmentally friendly, as Li repeatedly emphasizes.
