Marvel Review | Jakarta Bandung High Speed Rail: Helping Indonesia's Development from a "Blueprint" to a "Realistic" Jakarta | Indonesia | Blueprint
Comic author: Wang Ting
On September 7, the Jakarta Bandung high-speed railway jointly constructed by China and Indonesia was put into operation, and the fastest travel time between the two places was reduced from 3.5 hours to 40 minutes, marking Indonesia's entry into the era of high-speed railway, and the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" between China and Indonesia has achieved significant landmark results.
Inherit friendship and expand a new stage of cooperation. Over the past decade, under the active drive of China and the joint creation of all parties, the "the Belt and Road" has been built together as a grand avenue for win-win cooperation and common development of the international community. It has already broken through the Silk Road in history and benefited the world. Ya'an Wanzhou High speed Railway is one of the most representative projects. The construction of the Yawan Railway not only further strengthens friendly exchanges between China and Indonesia, but also opens up new breakthroughs in bilateral cooperation. During the construction process, the Chinese unit of the consortium purchased and used a large amount of locally produced raw materials such as steel and cement in Indonesia, as well as commonly used "four electricity" and mechanical equipment, injecting strong momentum into promoting Indonesia's economic development and creating employment opportunities.
Environmentally friendly and efficient, building a green ecosystem. The completion of the Yawan high-speed railway will help improve the ecological environment along the line. After the opening of the high-speed rail, it will provide green transportation options for citizens in Jakarta and Bandung, contributing to reducing carbon dioxide emissions. In addition, the existing capacity of the Yawan Expressway is gradually becoming saturated, and the Yawan High Speed Railway will change the travel mode of some passengers, effectively alleviating highway congestion. This is enough to prove that on the road of economic development, we can ride the fast train of economic development without causing damage or ecological subtraction. At the same time, it also shows that the development of high-speed railways can promote the process of urban civilization and help cities achieve sustainable development.
Innovative models create new prospects for development. Before the construction of the Jakarta Bandung high-speed railway, there was only an old existing railway between Jakarta and Bandung in Indonesia, built over 100 years ago, with a speed of only over 50 kilometers per hour. The travel time for passengers was long and the comfort level was poor. The construction of the Jakarta Bandung high-speed railway will change the development situation. Through the "hard connection" of infrastructure, the people along the line will be "connected", efficiently connecting major industrial, commercial, and tourism cities in Indonesia, such as Jakarta, the second largest city of Surabaya, Bandung, and the third largest port of Semarang. A series of "small and beautiful" and "affordable" tourism, commercial, and industrial projects will emerge one after another. These projects will be committed to solving the practical problems of people's livelihood and well-being along the route, effectively improving and enhancing the production and living conditions of Indonesian people, and bringing tangible sense of gain to the people.
Taking advantage of the east wind of the "the Belt and Road", the Ya'an-Wan'an High speed Railway, which is running on the railway track, will transform the beautiful "blueprint" of Indonesia's development into a "reality", and will inject acceleration and provide new impetus for regional economic and social development.
