China’s top economic planner approved seven more railway projects with a total investment of about 200 billion yuan (USD32.7 billion) as Beijing moves to step up infrastructure commitments to offset a cooling economy.

It came after the regulator last week gave the green light to three railway projects with a combined investment of 247.6 billion yuan.

The newly-approved rail projects will link cities in both northern and southern parts of China, according to information posted on the website of the National Development and Reform Commission Wednesday.
