Abstract

Comparing 148 countries' z-scores resulting with the Factoring Analysis, the paper verifies that a big gap still exists between China and other advanced countries based on 6 average indicators calculated from CIA statistics in transportation, although China's infrastructure has been considerably improving in both quality and quantity in the past three decades. As a result, the paper advises that keeping increasing the investment in traffic is necessary, particularly in the current situation that Chinese economy is in a depression.
