China's high-speed railway: the best 'souvenir' foreigners wish to bring home
China has built one of the world's most extensive high-speed rail networks in just a few years. What's more, it has even been able to offer quality rail products and supplies to other countries. What follows are just a few of China's recent cooperation projects overseas.
Ankara-Istanbul High-Speed Train
As the first high-speed rail that went into operation in Turkey, Ankara-Istanbul high-speed rail links the Turkish capital with the country's most populous city of Istanbul.
China Railway Construction Corporation and China National Machinery Import and Export Corporation, in partnership with two Turkish companies, built a 158-km-long line of the project in between the Inonu-Vezirhan and Vezirhan-Kosekoy sections.
