3) Reasonableness in the spatial distribution of
transportation infrastructure in China
Through the above analysis it can be found that the extreme
imbalance of the spatial distribution of transportation
infrastructure is a main cause which leading to a high
concentration of manufacturing industry in spatial distribution,
and the location choice of manufacturing industry caused by
imbalance of the spatial distribution of transportation
infrastructure can strengthen the regional disparities in China.
From this point of view, China's transportation infrastructure in
the spatial distribution is extremely unreasonable.
III. THE REASONABLENESS OF THE ALLOCATION OF
TRANSPORT INVESTMENT IN CHINA
Transportation infrastructure investment patterns can affect
factors flow as well as the spatial distribution of manufacturing
industry, and thereby affect the trends in the regional
disparities. Use the data of transportation infrastructure
investments from 2000 to 2008 to get distribution of transport
investment in recent years in China, see Figure 6. From Figure
6, we can find that the transportation infrastructure investment
