How to use headway in a sentence?

  1. Danny Russel:

    The administration is doing some hard thinking about what it is they really would want to pursue and how they foresee making headway on engagement with China. They have been careful and smart not to prematurely rush into full-scale engagement with China.

  2. Frederic Neumann:

    China's demand stumble comes at an awkward time, just when more and more supply of raw materials is coming on stream in many sectors. No quick fix in sight, china's stock market stumble now risks knocking demand down further. What all this points to is the need for a lot more easing, including extra fiscal spending. China's economy is highly dependent on construction. With that engine sputtering, mainland commodity demand will struggle to make headway for a while.

  3. Li Shufu:

    If (our) legislation lags behind, self-driving cars will be difficult to sell in China, it's certainly possible for the Chinese auto industry to make significant headway with government backing, but there's still a lot going into developing that technology, making sure it's safe, and that means a certain number of miles driven.

  4. Lee Un-chul:

    If self-evaluated, our score is only in the fifties, compared with that in the thirties last year ... we are making headway as we can correct even the government if it does wrong.

  5. State Senator Tom Davis:

    I made some headway yesterday in making a bad bill better, but it's nowhere near the point where I can support it, and I recognize to a significant degree that I'm breaking with my Senate Republicans brethren.
