High-speed trains steer to overseas destinations

Chinese high-speed train companies are eyeing more contracts in overseas markets.

"The US will be the next strategic focus for us, after successfully winning the Boston contract," Yu Weiping, vice-president of China CNR Corp, told China Daily on Wednesday.

CNR won a 4.12 billion yuan ($659 million) contract last year to supply metro cars to Boston's subway system, the first US rolling stock order with a Chinese company.
