Several new subway lines will be open the end of the year in Beijing and I hope Beijing can overtake Shanghai in total length and become the No.1 in the world.

It is under construction, and it is well ahead of schedule. Most of the tracks have been laid, by 2017 end all stations will be opened.

Yes these 27 cities are expanding their existing network:

These 12 cities will launch metro soon:

Other than the 39 mentioned above, I expect to see even more cities building metros. China is still in the process of urbanization, now constructing 18 Mega-Metropolis (超级城市群, see below), each comprises of several large metropolitan cities. Rail transports (metro, HSR, freight railway) are central to these plans.

Subway or railway? If a whole part of your subway system operates above the ground, it would be much easier and cheaper to build, Most Chinese cities subway plans will be completed ahead of the schedule and Chinese subways are top notch in technology, subways are so different in different countries, some subways in some countries can not be called subways by Chinese standard.
