BEIJING, March 9 (Xinhua) — China will promote digital smartness and greening of its transportation sector during the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030), Transport Minister Liu Wei said Monday.

In the next five years, China will focus on promoting the application of artificial intelligence in the transportation industry and will work to accelerate the development of smart highways, smart ports and smart shipping, Liu Wei said on the sidelines of the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) in Beijing.

According to the minister, the country plans to promote the development of zero-carbon transport corridors and stations as part of efforts to stimulate low-carbon development in the country's transportation sector. During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, China will expand the use of environmentally friendly transportation equipment, including vehicles and vessels powered by new energy sources, he noted.

Currently, 98.8 percent of China's expressway service areas are equipped with charging stations, Liu Wei said, adding that the country will focus on introducing high-power charging stations this year to ease the difficulty of finding charging stations and reduce waiting times.

Liu Wei announced that during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, China will implement projects to improve the efficiency of intercity travel in urban agglomerations, which will significantly increase the proportion of the population within them who will be able to get to work in an hour or less and then back home in the same amount of time.

The transportation sector plays a vital role in serving the population, Liu Wei pointed out, noting that on average, about 550 million parcels are processed daily across the country, meaning that each Chinese person receives an average of about three parcels per week. -0-

BEIJING, March 9 (Xinhua) — China remains highly vigilant and firmly opposes Japan's attempts to achieve a breakthrough on the Taiwan issue, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Monday.
