China Matters produced the animation titled “Xi’s Thought Made Easy: The Growing Global Reach of Chinese-made TBMs”. It depicts how Chinese enterprises become leading manufacturers of tunnel boring machines from scratch. Chinese-made TBMs are now available in the global market and widely used in many tunnel projects all over the world.

Compared with those advanced industrial countries,China is a later-comer in R&D and manufacturing of TBMs. In 2008,China successfully developed its first composite TBM with independent intellectual property rights. From then on,withless than 20 years,Chinese TBMs have caught up and outperformed their counterpartsmade by developed countries. China launched the world's first TBM powered by a permanent magnet motor system in 2016.
