China's transport sector posts stable growth from Jan-Sept 2025
China recorded 50.6 billion cross-regional trips in the first three quarters of this year, up 3.1 percent year-on-year, according to the Ministry of Transport on Wednesday, underscoring steady growth in the country's transport sector.
Freight operators moved 43.25 billion metric tons of goods during this period, an increase of 3.89 percent from a year earlier. Meanwhile, ports across the nation handled 13.57 billion tons of cargo, up 4.6 percent year-on-year.
Investment in transport infrastructure reached 2.6 trillion yuan ($357 billion), as China continued to improve its roads, railways, ports and airports to support stable economic growth.
The ministry said the sector has maintained overall stability with continued progress, adding that new growth engines — such as smart logistics, green transport and digital infrastructure — are developing rapidly and enhancing resilience across the industry.
