With the deepening of social development and industrial interconnection, the role of railways as the most important transportation channel has become increasingly prominent. In recent years, after years of reform and innovation, China's railways have finally ushered in a historic moment - to reverse losses and achieve economic benefits.
In 2023, China Railway Group will achieve an operating income of 1.24 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.5%, and a net profit of 3.3 billion yuan, which not only changes the long-term loss situation faced by China's railways, but also marks that the railway industry has entered a new stage of sustainable development.
This is undoubtedly a commendable achievement. You must know that as an important infrastructure, China's railways have assumed great social responsibility for many years, and the transportation capacity of passengers and freight is huge. Due to the large investment in construction, the technical level and operation management are relatively backward, and the long-term operation loss. In the end, getting rid of the loss dilemma and realizing economic benefits is inseparable from the efforts of China Railway Group for many years.
By optimizing the operation organization and reducing costs, China Railway Group has changed its previous management model. At the same time, by expanding the freight market and opening up new business services, the revenue channels are wider and the diversified operation has been realized. This has made a leap forward in the institutional system and operation management of the China Railway Group, and has achieved a long-term balance between revenue and expenditure.
However, from a higher level, the reform of China's railways reflects the profound changes in the mainland's transportation industry and economic management. With the continuous deepening of the construction of high-speed railways in mainland China and the expansion of foreign exchanges along the "Belt and Road", railways are in a more important position in the national economy. The state vigorously supports the reform and development of railways and provides them with policy guarantees.
This allows railway authorities to look for market rules and business models in a larger environment. At the same time, the mainland's economic management system is also deepening reforms, and the government's functions are playing a more rational role. This has contributed to the business innovation and economic benefits of China Railway Group.
Of course, the success of China's railways has also caused some controversy. Some points of view suggest that with the support of government subsidies and preferential tax treatment, it is difficult to say that China Railway Group has truly achieved a balance of benefits. There is some truth to this view. However, in the longer term, the reason why China Railway Group has been able to receive policy support is precisely because of its increasingly important role in transportation and the economy. In the short term, the policy effect may be more prominent, but from the analysis of the root causes, the reason why China Railway Group has been able to gradually reform and succeed is inseparable from its own efforts to promote the results of market-oriented operation.
Turning losses into profits marks that China's railways have officially entered a new stage of development. Looking forward to the future, China Railway still needs to continue to work hard in the following aspects: first, to promote the deep integration with other modes of transportation to form a convenient multi-mode intermodal transport network; second, to continue to strengthen technology research and development and equipment investment, to improve operational efficiency; third, to explore new value-added services, expand business channels; fourth, to continuously strengthen management and services, and improve user satisfaction.
Only by tapping the endogenous power and deeply integrating with all walks of life can China's railways maintain the momentum of sustainable development. This will require the China Railway Group to comprehensively promote reform and opening up, and also need the support and supervision of the masses. It is believed that with continuous efforts, China's railways will surely move towards a higher degree of development and become an indispensable and important part of the transportation power.
In short, the turnaround of China's railways represents its great progress in technology and management. This not only ended a historical stage, but also provided important experience for China Railway. Only by continuously promoting reform and innovation can we maintain the momentum of development and achieve medium- and long-term sustainable development. As a huge system project, China's railways still need the joint efforts of all participants in order to become the main force in the development of the times.
