Engineering to boost rail infrastructure

Chinese railway operators are paying vital attention to eliminate any rail safety hazard during winter. To strengthen the foundation of railway operations and enhance the quality of railway equipment during the winter, Taiyuan High-speed Railway Engineering Section has organized a special construction project for precision tamping by large machinery on high-speed railway lines within its jurisdiction. By formulating a special construction plan and following standardized procedures, its staff members have joined the cross-departmental operations. Technical backbones were assigned to provide guidance during shifts. Up to now, it has completed 150 kilometers of precision tamping by large machinery, effectively preventing equipment defects.

Mobile phone shipments up

China's mobile phone shipments surged 8.7 percent year-on-year to nearly 32.27 million units in October, data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology showed. Approximately 90.9 percent of the October shipments were 5G mobile phones, nearing 29.33 million units and an increase of 9.7 percent year-on-year, according to the CAICT, a research institute under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
