Shi Jiangtao

Shi Jiangtao is a journalist whose work has been featured in the South China Morning Post. He reported on significant railway developments in China. In 2006, he covered the inaugural operation of the Qinghai-Tibet railway, the world's highest, detailing the first train journey from Beijing to Lhasa. Later, in 2011, Shi Jiangtao co-authored an article comparing the new Shanghai-Beijing high-speed rail with air travel, highlighting the train's comfort and convenience despite the plane's speed advantage. His reporting provides historical context for the expansion and modernization of China's railway infrastructure, particularly in the years leading up to and during the early stages of its high-speed rail network development.
