France expects to win China high-speed rail deal
Nicole Fontaine, deputy minister for French industry, said Tuesday she expected China to choose French giant Alstom to build a high-speed rail link between Beijing and Shanghai by the year-end. French transport group Alstom is competing against Japanâs Shinkansen and the German ICE for the tender which has yet to be officially unveiled by the Chinese authorities. Fontaine is due to visit China in May to discuss possible Sino-French nuclear projects.
