Closer Look: China's High-Speed Rail Diplomacy Hits Full Speed

(Beijing) – As the country's high-speed railroad network surpassed 10,000 kilometers in length, not even counting the track still being built, Li Keqiang has continued his efforts to seek overseas projects.

The latest progress came during Li's three-day visit to Britain in mid-June. The two countries released a statement stating that they "agree to promote substantive cooperation on rail, including high-speed rail, in areas including design, engineering, construction, supply, operations and maintenance."
