China's Ministry of Transport and seven other ministries issued an Implementation Action Plan for Multimodal Transport and Bottleneck Removal (2026–2030) to accelerate a modern intermodal network. The plan seeks, by 2030 and over roughly five years of implementation, to upgrade about 1,000 major freight nodes to enhance intermodal functions and to raise the one-hour transshipment rate above 90%. It targets coastal ports achieving an 80% rail inbound rate and major Yangtze River trunk ports achie

The plan seeks, by 2030 and over roughly five years of implementation, to upgrade about 1,000 major freight nodes to enhance intermodal functions and to raise the one-hour transshipment rate above 90%. It targets coastal ports achieving an 80% rail inbound rate and major Yangtze River trunk ports achieving 100% rail inbound. The plan also calls for breakthroughs in container rail‑sea security inspection optimization and standardized rules, including a unified single-document system referred to as one bill.
