Xi bets on rail projects to boost slowing economy

China is building the western half of a high-speed railway line in Hainan Province. Construction is due to be completed by the end of this year.

BEIJING -- Construction workers on Hainan Island, China's southernmost province, are busy building a high-speed train line in the glaring summer sun.
