| Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 國際事務與戰略研究所碩士在職專班 === 103 === In 2010, the Chinese national defense white paper has been issued. It has mentioned that the defense traffic mobilization must be in order and the railway transportation is one of the important elements in military operation. And let the traffic combat readiness to incorporate in the national traffic construction system, even to improving the supportability of national strategy passage, strategy transportation capability and traffic repairing capability.
During A.D. 1948," the army transported provisional regulations of the railway" has pointed out that military operation is the first-class task of railway transportation. In the army transportation plan, Ministry of Railways carries out the order of the military committee unconditionally and must guarantee the security, fast and facilitating. So since the PRC In power, it has taken railway building as a part in there national defense construction all the time.
The military strategy of the PLA emphasizes on “active defense”, and the army’s strategy is changing from area defense to omni maneuvering.
Except the R&D about military delivering platform, the PLA choose the high-speed railway as the option of troops delivering.
In peace time, the railway and the high-speed railway can be used in passenger’s communications and transportation, and bring about an advance in domestic economy to reach the national strategic goal, in wartime, it can be transferred to military transportation for the military strategy purpose.
So through the construction of the high-speed railway, not merely can establish the capital construction of communications and transportation within the territory of Mainland China. But also the remedy for the capability lacking of long-range projection of the PLA to accord with the PRC’s national defense construction idea which are “building up military strength within civilian society” and “integrity of peace time and wartime”.
Since they had taken over the sovereignty, The PRC was basing on the old railway system to increase the train’s speed constantly by drafting the experiences from Japan and Europe. In addition, they have determined to build up “the special line of passenger” in order to develop the high speed railway. Now, they have the largest scale, longest mileage and the fastest railway system all over the world.
It is the purpose of this context that through the PLA “active defense” military strategy theory to understand whether PRC will achieve the“omni maneuvering” military objective or not by high-speed railway system building up.
