The Beijing–Fuzhou high-speed railway (simplified Chinese :京福高速铁路; traditional Chinese :京福高速鐵路; pinyin :Jīngfú Gāosù Tiělù) is completed high-speed rail corridor, intended to connect Beijing and Fuzhou.
The line shares tracks with the following railway lines:
Thereafter, it would cross an undersea tunnel which has been proposed by the Chinese government, which would connect Pingtan and Hsinchu. It would share tracks with the Taiwan High Speed Rail from Hsinchu to Taipei. [1]
Project planning is unilateral, undertaken without the participation of Taiwan, which the People's Republic of China claims, but has never controlled.
