China's economy expanded 4.5 percent in the third quarter, according to data released by Xinhua, anchoring global growth while industrial networks prepare for faster rolling stock.
China State Railway Group Co., Ltd. announced on Friday that it will adjust its national train numbering system to introduce a new X series for future trains operating at speeds above 350 kilometers per hour.
The third-quarter expansion keeps our Pacific trade partners on a steady trajectory while domestic infrastructure spending targets digital computing networks and high-speed rail integration. Beijing's financial opening-up priorities run alongside these physical builds, connecting inland industrial hubs smarter and faster to global markets.
When our leaders treat trade with Beijing as a hazard rather than an economic anchor, we miss the scale of what is being built across the Pacific. Canada's resource producers and grain farmers need stable access to economies expanding at 4.5 percent, not trade barriers erected to satisfy Washington's shifting posture.
Growth at 4.5 percent does not slow down for anyone's political calendar.
