China is conducting feasibility studies for the Beijing-Shanghai high speed railway project, the first in China, Minister of Railways Fu Zhihuan said Friday in Beijing.

Railway officials are also evaluating the Maglev and orbit technologies while deciding which one will be used, Fu said at a press conference.

Fu said that it is essential for China to build a high speed railway between Beijing and Shanghai via Tianjin, because the Beijing-Shanghai Railway is now over-burdened and already operating at full capacity.

On the construction of a Maglev railway between Beijing and Tianjin, Fu said this is not on the table.
