Abstract

In recent years， China has steadily promoted the construction of cross-border railway lines， with the international passenger and freight combined transport system initially established and cross-border projects implemented steadily. However， deficiencies still exist in institutional alignment， differentiated collaborative adaptation mechanisms， and full-chain supervision of cross-border railway operations. The development experience of the Technical Specifications for Interoperability （TSI） system of EU railways provides important reference value for improving the institutional system of China’s cross-border railway connectivity. Drawing on the evolution process， operational features of the EU railway TSI system and its governance experience in railway integration， this paper proposes targeted pathways to strengthen China’s cross-border railway construction： improving the regulatory system for cross-border railway combined transport， establishing a dynamic updating and international linkage mechanism for relevant rules and regulations， constructing a country-specific adaptation system addressing cross-national institutional disparities， building a cross-border collaborative supervision and conformity assessment mutual recognition mechanism， and enhancing the operational support system for cross-border railways. so as to continuously improve the integrated performance of China’s cross-border railway connectivity.
