China, us to build California High speed railway signed memo

Japan claims to offer huge loans other companies announced an expansion in the U.S. business reporters interviewed the US to learn that California has signed a memorandum with China the U.S. high-speed rail program attracted global "flattery."　　In a media interview with Japanese officials claiming to offer huge loans to the California High Iron Project, He Huawu, chief engineer of China's Ministry of Railways, said China could provide a full range of solutions for the California High Iron project, including rail infrastructure, the provision of bullet trains and huge loans. The Japanese government plans to offer up to 40 billion dollars in loans to the California High Iron Project.　　To persuade the United States to accept Japan's Shinkansen programme, Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan was accompanied by a visiting California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger aboard the Tokyo-Dagong high-speed rail test line. But other countries are not outdone.　　The government has signed an agreement with the California government and General Electric to build the first high-speed rail in the US, and China is expected to become the most important equipment supplier for high-speed rail construction in the United States, and it is likely to authorize American companies to produce bullet-shaped cars up to 346 kilometres per hour. South Korea has also offered to lend to the US high-speed rail.　　It is understood that there are several countries including China Southern Vehicle Group, Canada Bombardier Corporation, Siemens Germany and France TGV company, etc., which are interested in bidding for the U.S. high Iron project. Media Hot talk about competition the U.S. high-speed rail China has "diamond" "China is shedding feathers to become a railway superpower."　　Germany's World News recently evaluated China's bid, saying that China has not only become a High-tech train producer, but is also rapidly occupying the world railway market.　　The report pointed out that a few years ago, the world Railway Three people are Germany Siemens, France Alstom and headquarters in Canada but important manufacturers are in Germany bombardier, but now China has successfully squeezed in. According to the German Railway consulting company SCI data shows that although the turnover of Bombardier and Alstom ranked top two, but the third to fourth place has been South Vehicle group and North Vehicle group occupation, Siemens only dropped a fifth.　　In the past five years, the western three people's turnover has increased by 17%, while China's two companies have increased by 108%. reported that the North vehicle group for Saudi Arabia to build a subway train for the Belarusian manufacturing locomotive, South Car Group for Tunisia production of diesel locomotives and so on. China has a big advantage in capital when it comes to competing for railway projects around the world.　　In the face of western European markets, the Chinese side is still a bit concerned, but there is absolutely competitive strength. Some countries and institutions that have signed a cooperation agreement with California, Belgium, German Ministry of Communications France, Italy, Spain Burlington North Santa Fe Company in response to the state government grip power in the U.S. company has acted on the U.S. Department of Transportation, a spokesman for the railway transport, Robert Lurat, said in an interview, the U.S. high-speed rail is funded by the federal government, but The state government decides investors and suppliers. The state Government has "absolute power to kill" in this regard.　　The only qualifying condition is: "The device must be made in America." Lurat says many foreign companies want to sell their technology to stateGovernment, but so far only those companies that have set up manufacturing operations in the United States have begun to prepare. Siemens in Germany, for example, has expanded the size of their facilities at California State Sacramento. Canada's Bombardier Corp. and Kawasaki, Japan, also said they would expand their operations in the United States once they received a contract.　　Spain's Talgo company has signed a contract to build and repair railways with Wisconsin. Lurat said the United States has not yet signed a technical cooperation agreement with any Chinese company.　　The industry has speculated that this may be related to the absence of business branches in the United States by large Chinese companies.　　California has "contracted" with China's Ministry of Railways this morning, Cher Wall, a spokesman for the California High Speed Railway Bureau, told reporters that California's high-speed railway construction is now in the environmental assessment phase, the construction project is expected to officially start at the end of 2012, and by 2020 is expected to officially run the use. Wall told reporters that although the specific bids have not been included in the agenda, but many large high-speed railway companies have expressed their interest in investment.　　In addition, the California High Speed Railway Authority has signed cooperation agreements with many foreign high-speed rail operators and state agencies, including China's Ministry of Railways. According to the memorandum of understanding signed by the Ministry of Railways and the United States, the two sides will cooperate on engineering planning, technical standards, financing and project operation.　　At the same time, the two sides will share information on high-speed rail traffic, and the signing parties can benefit from the latest information sharing.　　South Car Group South Car Group, a reluctant to disclose the name of the responsible person told our correspondent, the company has a bid for the U.S. High Iron project idea, but the things have not yet been implemented, bidding and other issues have not entered the substantive stage.　　As a listed company, Nan Che Group could not speculate on anything that was not yet certain, he said.　　However, the director said that the South Car group is indeed in the international cooperation, South Car Group has established a branch in the United States, the words implied in the language will be bidding for high-speed rail to prepare. News background earlier this year, the Obama administration announced that it would earmark $8 billion trillion from the stimulus package as the first start-up fund for U.S. high-speed rail.　　According to the Obama administration's plan, the United States will work to build 13 high-speed railways, involving more than 30 states. In addition, the United States will be in the next 5 years, a year from the federal budget to allocate 1 billion U.S. dollars, as the first period of the plan. California, Florida State and Illinois State will be able to get large amounts of high-speed rail subsidies.　　Among them, the California proposed high Iron project is the largest, the total length of the railway will reach nearly 1600 kilometers.
