China's high-speed rail system has just passed a major landmark.

It now has a network spanning more than 50,000 kilometres.

It actually claims to have more high-speed track than every other country put together.

The milestone was reached with a new line between Xi'an, home to the terracotta warriors, and Yan'an, where Chairman Mao had his revolutionary base.

Our reporter, Mickey Bristow, told me the country's entire high-speed rail track

has been laid in less than 20 years.

It's taken 20 years to build nothing, hasn't it?

Yeah, you say the best.

You've travelled on some of these trains.
