Paper-making, printing techniques, gunpowder and the compass are known as ancient China's Four Great Inventions. Now China is developing very fast and some young foreigners are amazed at some new technologies. They call them Four New Great Achievements in a recent street interview. Here are some of what they said.
| High-speed rail(HSL) in China is the most heavily used in the world. China's trains are very clean, comfortable, a trip which takes 14 hours by car only takes 5 hour by train. —Peter from Romania | Alipay is really helpful when paying. In Hangzhou, you only need to take a phone with you when going shopping. Even in Nepal, Alipay is also widely used now. —Nabina from Nepal |
| The shared bike is convenient. I use it from subway or bus stations. I love it. It saves me a lot of time and I only pay i yuan($0.15)for every 30-minute ride. —Agra from India | I was told that China had amazing online shopping choices and impossibly quick services. Now I'm totally in love with Taobao. You can almost find anything you want on it. —Ben from Thailand |
