CCTV News: Investment, as one of the "three pillars" that drives economic growth, is of great significance to expanding domestic demand and stabilizing economic growth. In 2024, the national fixed asset investment was 51437.4 billion yuan, an increase of 3.2% over the previous year. Since last year, my country has launched a new round of issuance of ultra-long-term special government bonds, which are specifically used for the implementation of major national strategies and the construction of security capacity in key areas, namely investment in two projects. The implementation of the policy has achieved significant results and has strongly supported the annual economic growth. At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, a batch of two-fold project projects are being stepped up.

The construction of the high-speed railway along the river is stepping up, and the urban agglomerations of the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Economic Belt will be beaded into chains

This is the construction site of Nanjing North Station, which started construction in September last year. Nanjing North Station is the hub station of the east-west river channel of my country's eight-dimensional and eight-horizontal high-speed railway network. At the site, we can see more than 2,000 construction personnel and nearly 300 equipment working in full swing. At this stage, they are carrying out the construction of cast-in piles, and the construction team works 24 hours a day to ensure the orderly progress of the project.

The Yangtze River High-speed Railway where Nanjing North Station is located starts from Shanghai to Chengdu in the east, with an estimated investment of 550 billion yuan, which is an important support for accelerating the improvement of the Yangtze River Railway Network and building a comprehensive transportation system in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. It is expected that by 2030, all high-speed railways along the river will be completed and put into use, and the urban agglomerations in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Economic Belt will be "beaded into chains".

As a key area of ​​the construction of the "two-fold" project, in 2024, the national railway completed fixed asset investment of 850.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 11.3%.

The "River and Replenishment of Han" project is advancing in both directions, making the vibrant water network denser and denser

While the high-speed rail along the river continues to advance in the east and west directions, another project on the bank of the Yangtze River is advancing in both directions in the north and south directions. This is the first major project to start construction of the follow-up project of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project - the River and Replenishment of Han. It has realized the "hands hand" between the Three Gorges Project and the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, and will further open up the water supply channel of the Yangtze River to the north.

This is a tunnel project of the Yangtze River Buhan Project in Yiling District, Yichang City. The main hole of this project is about 31.58 kilometers long. Now it has entered the construction stage of the hard rock excavator. Behind the reporter is a hard rock excavator named Jianghan Ping'an. It started entering the hole at the beginning of this month and has completed about 40 meters of excavation.

"Jianghan Ping'an" is currently the largest double shield hard rock boring machine in the domestic water diversion tunnel project, which can achieve synchronous excavation operation and pipe segment installation.

In 2024, my country's water conservancy construction completed an investment of 1.35 trillion yuan, setting a record high. Up to now, the "two-level" projects supported by 700 billion yuan of ultra-long-term special treasury bonds in 2024 have basically started construction and completed investment of more than 1.2 trillion yuan. The list of projects about 100 billion yuan in 2025 has also been issued in advance.

Reporter's observation: Today's investment is tomorrow's competitiveness

Looking at other fields, a large number of major projects such as the New Western Land-Sea Corridor and the High Standard Farmland in Northeast China have also made positive progress. Some public-field projects that cannot effectively allocate resources in the market are also continuing to make up for shortcomings, adjust structures, and benefit people's livelihood. In 2024, the central budget investment support projects completed investment of more than 1.3 trillion yuan, and the local government's special bond support projects completed investment of more than 3.6 trillion yuan. The increasing government investment has played a role in "making a big move", and today's investment is tomorrow's competitiveness.
