China in talks with 28 countries on high-speed rail - state trainmaker


    TANGSHAN, China (Reuters) - China is in talks with 28 countries including the United States, Russia and Brazil about high-speed rail projects, state-backed trainmaker China CNR said on Wednesday.

    The company, which said it was one of the participants in the country's high-speed rail push, made the comments during a government-organised visit to one of its factories in Tangshan City in north-eastern China.

    CNR said its overseas sales amounted to $3 billion last year, up 68.6 percent from the previous year, and that its equipment has been sold to 84 countries and regions.
