With the official announcement of the "National Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transportation Network Planning Outline", on March 1, 2021, a clear version of the "Schematic Diagram of the Main Skeleton Layout of the National Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transportation Network" was released immediately, and I saw the "big cock" on the map. Stretching out "a small hand" from the southeastern coastal area to Taipei City, this scene made many netizens call "cute".

Recently, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council have issued the "National Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transportation Network Planning Outline" (hereinafter referred to as the "Outline"), which is full of dry goods! Some keen netizens immediately discovered a bright spot, and Taipei City, Taiwan Province, on the other side of the Strait, also appeared in this plan.

For a time, the "Outline" triggered a lively discussion on the whole network. "This is not a transportation plan, but a unified timetable." "We are just developing transportation on our own land." Everyone is looking forward to this day as soon as possible.

In the "Outline" that has attracted attention recently, there are bright spots in the layout of the main transportation axis of "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei-Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao", and Taipei City, Taiwan Province, on the other side of the Strait, also appears in the planning. The branch route where Taipei City is located is: Fuyang via Huangshan and Fuzhou to Taipei.

Since the planning period of this "Outline" is from 2021 to 2035, and the long-term outlook is to the middle of this century, mainland netizens pinpointed that "it is coming soon, and there is not much time left for us."

In fact, according to incomplete statistics, the relevant planning of "repairing roads to Taiwan" has been going on for more than ten years.

In 2004, the State Council deliberated and approved the National Highway Network Plan, which was the first "ultimate" highway skeleton layout in Chinese history, and it was also the highest-level highway channel in China's highway network.

Among the 7 radiation lines in the capital, one is planned to go to Taipei. The seven lines are: Beijing-Shanghai, Beijing-Taipei, Beijing-Hong Kong and Macau, Beijing-Kunming, Beijing-Lhasa, Beijing-Urumqi, Beijing-Harbin.

For many years since then, Taiwan, as a part of the motherland, has been included in various transportation system plans. The most recent plan appeared in the "National Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transportation Network Planning Outline" issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on the 24th of last month. Taipei is located in the main axis of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei-Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.

On the afternoon of March 1, the State Council Information Office held a press conference to introduce that the recently announced "National Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transportation Network Planning Outline" proposed that by 2035, China will achieve international and domestic interconnection, three-dimensional access to major cities across the country, and effective county-level nodes. Coverage and support the "123 travel traffic circle nationwide", that is, one hour commute in metropolitan areas, two hours access to urban agglomerations, and three hours coverage in major cities across the country. Support the "Global 123 Fast Cargo Flow Circle", that is, domestic delivery within one day, neighboring countries within two days, and global major cities within three days.

In the construction of the Beijing-Taiwan Passage, Fuzhou is an important node, especially Pingtan County under its jurisdiction, which is the backbone of the Taiwan Strait. It is only 68 nautical miles away from Taiwan. It is the island county closest to Taiwan in the mainland of the motherland. The opening of high-speed rail here must be the nearest high-speed rail to Taiwan.

On December 26 last year, the Fuping Railway was officially opened for operation. China’s first road-rail dual-use bridge, the Pingtan Strait Road-Rail Bridge, was put into use simultaneously, and the fastest route between Fuzhou and Pingtan was 35 minutes.

Looking at the strait on both sides of the strait, I am eager to expect that in the near future, the mainland railway network will be able to cross the strait all the way east to connect the two sides to Baodao. Pingtan will become the nearest "transit station" to Baodao. In this regard, a netizen who has witnessed the completion of the Fuping Railway left a message and wrote: "There is still the last strait section, which will be completed in 2035, and the construction period will be pushed back by 10 years. In fact, it is only a few years ago." Editor/Xu Shengpeng
