France reportedly beats Japan for China rail project


Friday, February 13, 2004 at 02:00 JST

HONG KONG — France has defeated Japan and Germany in a bid to provide
train technology for China's construction of a high-speed rail link
between Beijing and Shanghai, a Hong Kong newspaper reported Thursday.

The Beijing-backed Ta Kung Pao quoted sources in the Ministry of
Railways as saying China decided to use the French TGV technology for
the planned 1,300-kilometer railway. The decision comes just two weeks
after Chinese President Hu Jintao visited France, during which French
President Jacques Chirac backed China against Taiwan's planned
referendum. (Kyodo News)
