It starts in Jakarta, Indonesia, and ends in Bandung, a famous tourist city, with a total length of142km. The whole line adopts China technology, China scheme and China standard, which is the first high-speed train of Indonesian-Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway.
As a major infrastructure project implemented by friendly and pragmatic cooperation between China and Indonesia, the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway not only connects two major cities in Indonesia, but also bears witness to the profound friendship between China and Indonesia.
The trial operation of Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway was a complete success.
Indonesia local time 16, the high-speed railway comprehensive inspection train developed and manufactured by China Railway comprehensively inspected the line between Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway Dekarur Station and No.4 Changliang, and the obtained indicators and parameters performed well, marking the successful trial operation of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway jointly built by China and Indonesia.
The Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway, with a maximum operating speed of 350 kilometers per hour, is a landmark project of "One Belt, One Road" construction and pragmatic cooperation between China and Indonesia. It is also the first overseas construction project of high-speed rail in China with full system, full elements and full industrial chain. The whole line adopts China technology and China standard. After the project is completed, the travel time from Jakarta to Bandung will be shortened from more than three hours to 40 minutes.
At present, with the personal promotion of the heads of state of China and Indonesia and the joint efforts of Chinese and Indonesian railway builders, the construction of high-speed rail from Jakarta to Bandung is progressing smoothly. 13 tunnel has been fully penetrated, box girder erection project has been completed, and main track laying is progressing in an orderly manner; Developed Jakarta-Bandung high-speed emu and comprehensive inspection train; The line between Dekarur Station and No.4 Beam Yard 14 km was completed, and the thermal sliding test of OCS live EMU trains was successfully carried out.
This trial operation mainly arranges comprehensive inspection trains for high-speed railways, and comprehensively inspects subgrade, track, communication, signal and traction power supply systems.
The trial operation results show that the indexes and parameters of the bid section project run well and fully meet the design requirements, which lays a solid foundation for the subsequent construction and opening operation of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway project.
After the completion of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway, it will greatly improve local traffic conditions and promote economic and social development along the route, which is of great significance for deepening pragmatic cooperation between China and Indonesia and promoting the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road Initiative" and Indonesia's "global ocean fulcrum" strategy.
Witness the "friendship train" of friendly relations
Long before the construction of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway, there was an old railway from Jakarta to Bandung, which was built more than 0/00 years ago. However, the existing railway has poor linear conditions, backward technical standards and aging equipment, with a speed of only over 50 kilometers per hour, which leads to long travel time and poor comfort.
Seven years ago, the heads of state of China and Indonesia witnessed the signing of the cooperation document on the high-speed railway project between the two countries in Jakarta. Since then, with the joint efforts of the two countries, the construction of Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway has made progress one after another.
"The Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway is the result of close cooperation and joint struggle between the two countries. It is no exaggeration to use the word' struggle'. " Xu Ningning, executive director of the China-ASEAN Business Council, told China that the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway encountered many challenges during its construction, such as epidemic situation, difficulty in land acquisition, insufficient funds and complicated geological structure. Despite this, the two countries have overcome various obstacles and overcome difficulties together.
At present, the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway tunnel has been fully penetrated, and the civil works of subgrade, bridge and station have been completed over 92%, and the whole line has been transferred to the ballastless track slab laying process.

Xu Ningning said that the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail is an important project for China to help and support ASEAN interconnection, which not only connects Jakarta and Bandung, but also connects the friendship between China and Indonesia.
Zhang, deputy director of the Institute of Southeast Asia and Oceania of China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, said that the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail reflects China's determination and strength to benefit neighboring countries. China is a good neighbor, a safe neighbor and a wealthy neighbor. I believe that more neighboring countries will want to cooperate with China in technology and projects in the future.
"Getting Rich Train" on the Road to Getting Rich
Many experts said that the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway has narrowed the distance between Indonesia's two major cities and brought new impetus to economic development along the route.
In Zhang's view, the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway is a good project that really benefits the local people. "This road is a road to get rich. Relying on infrastructure, on the one hand, it will accelerate the circulation of factor resources, on the other hand, it will promote the upgrading of related industries, thus promoting the economic development and prosperity of the entire area along the route. "
"As the first high-speed rail in Indonesia and even Southeast Asia, Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail will bring great convenience to people's travel and contribute to the further development and construction of areas along the route, such as economic corridor construction, tourism development and industrial park construction." Xu Ningning said.
Zhang Xiaotao, dean of the School of International Economics and Trade of the Central University of Finance and Economics, said that the driving effect of the opening of high-speed rail on economic and social development has been confirmed by the practice in the world and China. Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail will undoubtedly promote Indonesia's rapid economic and social development and promote its industrialization and modernization. Considering Indonesia's important position in the industrial chain of Southeast Asia, it will also boost the economic growth of Southeast Asia in the future.
From the China-Laos Railway to the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway, China-made and China-made buildings are going abroad with "acceleration" and becoming China's business cards to the world.
Zhang Xiaotao bluntly said, "The successful" going out "of a group of China manufacturing represented by high-speed rail is a powerful proof that China's experience, China's wisdom and China model serve the development of the world economy."
"The Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway is a vivid example of China's help and support to ASEAN in improving infrastructure construction, strengthening interconnection and promoting economic development. I believe that more Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail will fly in ASEAN countries in the future. " Xu Ningning said.

The trial operation of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway was a complete success, and the Chinese staff: finally saw the satisfactory answer sheet.
On June 6th, 65438, the trial operation of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail project jointly built by China and Indonesia was a complete success. "I am very excited," a China worker in charge of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail told the Global Times reporter. In the past seven years, the builders have paid too much sweat and hard work for the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail. "I finally saw a satisfactory answer sheet today!"
On June 6th, 65438, the high-speed railway comprehensive inspection train developed and produced by China Railway International Co., Ltd. comprehensively inspected the line between Jakarta and Bandung high-speed railway Dekarur Station and No.4 beam yard, including subgrade, track, communication, signal and traction power supply systems. The train was designed and manufactured by China Railway, which applied China's mature comprehensive detection technology of high-speed railway infrastructure, combined with Indonesian local operating environment, and adopted China standard, with a maximum detection speed of 385 kilometers per hour. The test results show that all the indexes and parameters of this section of the project have good performance and fully meet the design requirements, which has laid a solid foundation for the subsequent construction and opening operation of Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway. Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway is expected to open to traffic on June 30, 2023 and put into operation at the same time.
Show the "hard core" China standard
Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway is not only a landmark project to jointly build the Belt and Road and pragmatic cooperation between China and Indonesia, but also the "first order" for China High-speed Railway to go abroad in terms of technical standards, survey and design, engineering construction, equipment manufacturing, material supply, operation management and personnel training, showing a number of "China standards".
In this regard, Xin Xuezhong, commander of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway contractor consortium, is a few treasures. "The Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway adopts all the most advanced and mature technologies in China," he told the Global Times reporter. First of all, the EMU of Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway adopts the standardized car body of Fuxing EMU in China, and then carries out adaptive modification design according to Indonesian local environment and cultural characteristics.
It can be seen in the No.6 tunnel, the longest tunnel of Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway, that ballastless tracks have been laid in the tunnel and nearby sections. This ballastless track is a CRTSⅲ Ⅲ slab ballastless track independently developed by China with independent intellectual property rights. Type Ⅲ track slab has the advantages of simple structure and stable performance. In recent years, it has been applied in the construction of Zhengzhou-Xuzhou, Shen Jing, Jiangxi-Shenzhen and other high-speed railways in China. In addition, the catenary system of Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway directly supplying power to high-speed trains adopts the "simplified" catenary equipment independently produced by China Railway Electrification Bureau, which is a China standard catenary with completely independent intellectual property rights.
The results of the project are hard-won.
The competition around Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway is extremely fierce, and the process is full of twists and turns. 2065438+In March and April of 2005, relevant departments and enterprises of China and Indonesia signed a memorandum of understanding and framework arrangement for Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway cooperation. In early July, during his visit to Indonesia, the Japanese special envoy submitted an optimized new plan, which put forward more favorable conditions in terms of loan interest rate and supporting measures. The Indonesian government then decided to hold a "beauty contest" and entrusted an international third-party organization to participate in the selection. On 20151kloc-0/,Indonesia's minister of state-owned enterprises Rini held a press conference, announcing that China was the only bidder for the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway project, and said that China's proposal met the Indonesian government's requirements of "using state guarantees without occupying the state budget".
After the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway project started, there were reports of slow progress and rumors of "blocked". According to Indonesian media reports, land acquisition is the main problem in the construction of Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway. The land acquisition of Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway project involves many owners and the nature of the land is complex. Every owner, every piece of land has to talk about it one by one, and the workload involved is extremely huge. Indonesia's Jakarta Post once quoted Indonesian Maritime Coordination Minister Luhut as saying that China has always kept its promise and the slow progress of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail project is "our own problem".
"Not closed for a day because of the epidemic"
At the beginning of 2020, a sudden COVID-19 epidemic swept the world, which brought great challenges to the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail project. Not only the health of construction workers is facing challenges, but also the upstream and downstream suppliers and subcontractors of the project are facing great supply and logistics problems.
"We transport a large number of medicines from China and treat Chinese and foreign employees equally. All medicines are distributed free of charge and relatively closed-loop management is adopted." Kun Wang, general manager of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail project management department of China Railway Indonesia, told the Global Times reporter that in addition to medicines, they also donated 2 million yuan to hospitals and communities where the project is located, expecting Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail to truly practice the concept of "community of life" and fight the epidemic together with the Indonesian people. "It can be said that during the construction of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway, our epidemic prevention work finished the first half and the second half, and after the second half, we worked overtime, which finally ensured the normal construction of the whole line and ensured the health and safety of tens of thousands of China employees and local employees." He told reporters that by optimizing the allocation of resources and ensuring the steady progress of controlled projects and major difficult projects, "Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway has not been shut down for a day because of the COVID-19 epidemic".
"I am very excited to see the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway unveiled during the G20 Bali Summit!" Kun Wang couldn't help sighing to the Global Times that in the past seven years, the builders have put too much effort and sweat into this project, and "I finally saw a satisfactory answer sheet today".
