N2 - This paper examines the evolution of the core technologies of Chinese high-speed railway in the context of the three major players worldwide: Japan, France and Germany. Four stages of evolution have been identified: exploration of available technologies, transfer of the best technologies, and assimilation of the acquired technologies and creation of optimum technologies for China's high-speed railway. The paper focuses and reports on the latest development trends on traction drive and its control, traction power supply and overhead traction current collection systems, mobile communication system and signalling system.
