Considering the poor situation of railway investment, Chinese government has gradually enhanced support over it. Ministry of Railways successfully issued the first phase railway construction bond of total value of RMB 20 billion in 2011.

However, it still takes time to get recovery. According to the completed railway investment amount in Jan.-Sept. 2011, the target of RMB600 billion is hard to finish in 2011.
