I'm a chinese so I understand the truth in China. I will tell you the confidence and you have to keep secret!

In fact, we do have highways in large city, some of the rich can drive cars on the hightways. (you can refeeence onther question such as “Does chinese have cars?”, you will know that the car in China is very rare, sometimes a city can buy a car with all resident’s help.)

But the more citys which are poor can not have cars, so we have to ride panda or horse to work or study. (I’m sorry that I can’t offer any photo because ride panda is illicit.)

When the moon rises, rideing panda or horse can be dangerous, we can control our sword to fly, peaple will stand on the flying sword, it’s fast but not complete safe, so we usually drive carefully. Hope my answer can help you :)

Remenber: All of then are absolutely confidential so you can’t found what I said on google.

I have to stop because someone is knocking, I will continue after checking…

我是中国人，所以我知道真正的中国是什么样的。接下来我要跟你说个秘密，你绝对不能说出去！

事实上，我们的大城市是有高速公路的，一些富人们可以在高速公路上开车。(你可以看看其他问题，如“中国人有车吗?”，你就会知道车子在中国是非常稀罕的，有时整个城市的所有居民必须合力才能买得起一辆车。)

但是更多的城市很穷，买不起车，所以我们要么骑熊猫，要么骑马去工作学习。(哦，很抱歉，我不能给你们看照片，因为骑熊猫是非法的。)

当夜幕降临，月亮升起的时候，骑熊猫骑马都很危险，我们就御剑飞行，人们站在飞行的剑上，速度很快但也有点不太安全，所以我们要很小心。希望我的回答能帮到你)

记住：我说的这些都是最高机密，所以你在谷歌上是看不到的。

哦，有人在敲门，我得去看看，等下再继续…

First of all, I have to say that it is a good question. As a Chinese, I am very glad to know that you are interested in this part of our country. The question reflects that you really have a very deep understanding of China and your impression about this country is 1000% correct. So, I am pretty sure that you know that China has always been one of the most uncivilised countries in the world, and what used to happen during the 19th century continues happening now. We have no advanced technologies like your magnificent Western world. We don't have cars, so of course we don't have highways.

首先，我必须得说这真是一个好问题。作为一个中国人，我很高兴你们对中国的高速感兴趣。从这个问题可以看出，你真的对中国有非常深刻的了解，你对这个国家的印象是1000%正确的。所以，我相信你一定知道，中国一直是世界上最不文明的国家之一，19世纪的落后一直持续到了现在。我们没有西方世界那样的先进技术。我们没有汽车，所以我们当然也没有高速公路了。

So, how do we travel? It is really curious isn't it?? Well, there are a lot of means of transportation in China, but all of them are quite archaic, they are nothing compared to what you have in your fantastic west. For exemple, we walk, run, or ride animals such as penguins, pigeons, squirrels, or even bears. And also, we have another technique, which is flying.

那么，我们是如何出行的呢？你们真的很好奇，对吗？嗯，中国有很多交通工具，但都很古老，跟你们了不起的西方世界根本无法相提并论。我们可以走路、跑步或者骑某些动物，比如企鹅、鸽子、松鼠，对了，还有熊。还有还有，我们还有一种技能，那就是飞行。

Yes it does, no matter what “highways” here refers to. China’s road system is pretty much like the road system in the USA. They have a hierarchy like this:

China National Expressway System (equivalent to the Interstate Highway System in the USA)

Chinese National Highways (equivalent to the U.S. Routes)

Provincial-level Road Systems (equivalent to State Routes in the USA)

County-level Roads (equivalent to County Routes in the USA)

Township-level Roads (equivalent to city roads in the USA)

Village-level Roads

Special Roads (equivalent to Service Roads in the USA)

中国当然有高速，不管你说的“高速公路”指的是什么。中国的道路系统跟美国很像。他们的高速道路等级是这样的:

中国国家高速公路系统(相当于美国州际高速公路系统)

中国国道相当于美国国道

省级公路系统相当于美国的州际公路

县级公路相当于美国的郡级公路

乡镇道路相当于美国的城市道路

村级道路

特殊道路相当于美国的服务道路

The 1st-tier roads in China are mostly expressways (or highways), while most roads in the 2nd tier and some in the 3rd tier are also expressways.

The China National Expressway System surpassed the Interstate system in the USA in the total length in 2011, which means it is currently the no.1 highway system in the world in terms of total length. As of 2015, the total length of China National Expressway System is somewhere around 123,000 km (whereas the Interstate system of USA is 77,000 km).

Here is a map showing China National Expressway System:

中国的一级公路绝大多数为高速公路，二级和三级公路中也有很多是高速公路。

2011年，中国国家高速公路系统的总里程超过了美国州际公路系统，就总里程而言，它已经是世界上最长的高速公路系统。截至2015年，中国国家高速公路系统的总里程约为12.3万公里(而美国的州际公路系统仅为7.7万公里)。

这是中国国家高速公路系统的地图：

The Chinese National Highways (tier-2) system has a total length of about 265,000 km, which is very close to the total length of U.S. Route system (253,832 km).

Those roads covered every province and most prefecture-level cities of China. They are built in all sorts of landforms (some of them are gorgeous). For example (images from various public websites):

中国国道（二级公路）系统总长约26.5万公里，与美国国道系统总长(25.3832万公里)非常接近。

这些公路覆盖了中国各个省份和大多数地级市。它们建在各种各样的地形之上(有些建得非常漂亮)。例如

Airport expressway in Beiing.

北京机场高速

A highway interchange in Chongqing.

重庆高速立交公路

Beiing-Kunming expressway, Sichuan section.

北京-昆明高速，四川段

An expressway bridge in western Hubei province.

湖北西部的高速公路大桥

Qinghai-Tib route on the plateau.

青海-西 藏高原高速公路

The desert highway in Tarim Basin of injiang.

新 疆塔里木盆地的沙漠高速

Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in Shandong province.

山东的胶州湾大桥

Your question almost makes me laugh uncontrollably. I don’t know whether it’s resulted from the influence of western media or your ignorance about China.

China has the second longest high way in the world, and the longest high way being built. China has the longest high speed railway which moves 200–350Km/h. What’s more, it even takes possession of more than 65% (date from Dec 2016)high speed railway of the whole world. Even though high ways and high speed railways are different, but it can prove that China is very strong in transportation.

你这个问题让我实在忍不住爆笑不已。我不知道这是因为西方媒体的洗脑还是你们真的对中国一无所知。

中国拥有世界上第二长的高速公路，还有一条全球最长的高速公路正在建设中。中国有最长的高铁轨道总长度，高铁运行时速可达200 - 350公里。更重要的是，中国高铁轨道总长占到全球高铁轨道总长度的65%以上(2016年12月)。尽管高速公路和高铁是两回事，但足以证明中国在交通方面是非常强大的。

You ought to refresh your impression on China or change your information source to know China more and more correctly.

Please forgive my offence, for I really can’t believe your misunderstanding about China and I’m not a native speaker, which makes it difficult for me to express my self clearly in English.

Anyway, I’m glade more and more people began to want to know more about China, which is a spirited country growing rapidly.

你应该改变一下自己对中国的印象，或者换一换你的信息来源，才能越来越正确地了解中国。

请原谅我的冒犯，但你对中国的误解让我不敢相信，而我的母语又不是英语，我很难用英语清楚地表达自己的意思。

但不管怎么说，我很高兴越来越多的人开始想要进一步了解中国，中国是一个快速发展、充满活力的国家。

You must be kidding me!

By the end of 2016, there are total 131K km of highway in China, which is the world’s largest national highway system by length.

China highway system has connected 98% of the cities which populated larger than 200K (more than 300 cities).

China is also the world’s biggest and fast-growing auto market as well. According to the data from JATO Dynamics, in 2016, China kept leading in world auto market with a 25.53 million of sales volume and an incredible 14% annual growth rate, followed by US and Europe with a sales volume of 17.75 million and 17.08 million.

The world’s biggest auto market happened to have the world’s largest highway system, does that make sense to you?

你一定是在跟我开玩笑吧！

中国公路总里程已达13.1万公里，是世界上最长的国家公路系统。

中国高速公路系统连接了98%人口超过20万的城市(300多个城市)。

中国也是世界上规模最大、增长速度也最快的汽车市场。根据JATO Dynamics的数据，2016年，中国的汽车销量达2553万辆，年增长率达到惊人的14%，继续领跑全球汽车市场，其次是美国和欧洲，销量分别为1775万辆和1708万辆。

全球最大的汽车市场以及全球最长的高速公路系统，你看懂了吗？

I don’t know why China still leaves the impression of 1900 to (some parts of ) the world, having held the exceptional Beiing Olympic Games and Shanghai EXPO. True, there is still enormous space for China to improve, especially in rural areas, but asking a question like this is almost insulting considering China has the second largest highway system in the world(some documents says China has the longest one but it seems that they just include interstate highways so I will still put USA in the first place.) I donno if this is out of curiosity or something, I will still show you some pictures of highways around different parts of China which represents totally different landscape to correct the stereotype thinking you may have.

我不知道中国在成功举办了北京奥运会和上海世博会之后，为什么还会给世界某些地区留下1900年的落后印象。

没错，中国还有很大的改进空间，特别是农村地区，但提问这样的问题简直就是对中国的侮辱，因为中国拥有全球第二长的公路系统，有些文章说中国有最长的公路，但似乎只统计了州际公路，所以我还是先把美国放在第一的位置。

No I don’t think so.

In a country where trains travels at the speed of 200 miles per hour, you don’t have to drive twelve hours for a distance from New York City to Chicago.

All you need is to bring a book and enjoy it during a 5-hour trip. So why bother driving yourself?

Well, of course China has highways. but taking a train is usually considered the main mid-distance transportation method.

在一个高铁列车每小时运行200英里的国家，你没必要从纽约开上12个小时的车到芝加哥。

你只需要带上一本书，在5小时的行程中好好享受阅读就可以。为什么还要自己开车呢？

中国当然有高速公路啦。但搭乘高铁是中程距离主要的交通方式。

Could people in China afford to eat tea eggs on a daily basis?

Could people in China afford to drink Coca Cola? Or even worse, do they have Coca Cola sold in supermarket in the first place?

Could people in China watch television or surf the internet?

Well, I’m speechless to all these kinds of questions. After all, we are in the 21st century. All these things are pretty common in nearly every country on earth.

Of course China have high ways.

中国人每天吃得起茶叶蛋吗？

中国人喝得起可口可乐吗？或者再惨一点，他们在超市里买得到可口可乐吗？

中国人能看得上电视，上得了网吗？

好吧，我对这些问题都相当无语。毕竟，我们现在身处的是21世纪。地球上几乎每个国家都早已实现。

当然了，中国当然有高速公路。

Yes, China most certainly do have highways… some of the best in the world, also some of the widest (think 24 lanes each way)

They also have some epic traffic jams. Forget being stuck in traffic for a couple of hours… imagine being stuck in traffic for almost 2 weeks

是的，中国有高速公路……其中有些还是世界上最好的，最宽的（想想看，24车道的公路呐！）

他们还有严重的交通堵塞。在路上被困几个小时算个啥…想象一下几乎被困两周有多惨！

Does China have high ways? I don’t quite understand your question. Any country can have “highways”. Iraq has highways even though its been ravaged by warfare. I think the question you’re trying to ask is if China has an interconnected high way system similar to the United States. In that regard, then China does indeed have an extensive highway system. It’s not as big as the United States’ because many Chinese tend to travel via rail

中国有高速公路吗？我不太明白你的问题。任何国家都可以建“高速公路”。伊拉克也有公路，尽管惨遭战争蹂躏。我想也许你想问的是，中国有没有美国那样的互联高速公路系统。对于这个问题，中国确实拥有四通八达的公路系统，但没有美国那么庞大，因为很多中国人更喜欢乘坐高铁出行

No I am pretty sure they do not. People would have to crawl in the mud to travel, and rich people hire the poor to carry them on the shoulder. This is how the world’s second largest economy’s people live, with the fastest high-speed train system in the world, no high way.

It is blind and arrogant people like you, that makes U.S. not great and falling behind others gradually.

不，我很确定他们没有。人们出行时只能在泥泞中慢慢爬，富人就雇穷人扛着他们爬。这就是世界第二大经济体的人民的生活，中国拥有全世界最快的高铁列车，但是没有高速公路！？

正是像你们这样目中无人的傲慢之徒，才让美国不再不可一世，开始落于人后。

I’m pretty sure China has more highway than any other country. And I’m fairly certain they’ve built more highway in the last couple of decades than any other country as well.

我敢肯定中国的高速比其他国家都要多。这一点我非常肯定，在过去几十年里，他们修建的高速路比其他任何国家都要多。

Yup. Big ones everywhere. I fly all over this country and when I can see the ground, its one big city after another and at night theres lines of lights everywhere. You should see the flashes of fireworks from 30,000 feet all across the country at night on Chinese New Years. An amazing thing. Anyway, ya lots of highways.

有啊。到处都是高速长龙。我飞遍了这个国家，每当我能看清地面的时候，大城市一个接一个，夜幕降临后到处都是霓虹闪烁的车水马龙。在中国的除夕夜，你还会看到全国各地3万英尺高空的璀璨烟花。太美了。对了，至于高速公路，有很多。
