“The book by Xiaoyan Lin and Xiuying Liu presents numerous figures on the development of China’s transportation industry, celebrating four decades of the reform and opening policy. Those readers seeking interesting facts and figures will certainly be content. … The Development of China’s Transport Industry is certainly a book worth owning ... . Readers interested in a more substantial technical survey of the transportation industry’s development, including the period since the Cultural Revolution, could consider the work of Xiaobao Zhou.” (Dirk Forschner, The Journal of Transport History, October 15, 2025)
