China's makers of rail and mass transit equipment are developing fast amid fierce competition by manufacturers from around the world, said a senior executive at an industry forum.

As companies respond to opportunities in the market and challenges from competitors, the country now has a comprehensive equipment manufacturing industry and service system, Zhang Jianwei, president of Bombardier China, said at the forum Modern Railways 2014.

"There is no other country but China that can cover the whole product chain," Zhang said.
