Chinese orbital equipment enters the United States for the first time

  The deal for China's first export of subway vehicles to the United States was finally finalized yesterday.According to foreign media reports,on the afternoon of the 22nd local time,the Massachusetts Department of Transportation in the United States approved the purchase of 284 subway vehicles worth$567 million from China CNR to equip the Boston Metro.

  As a symbolic city of American spirit,Boston opened the first subway line in the United States as early as the Qing Dynasty in China(1897),seven years earlier than New York.Until today,the outdated facilities of the Boston subway are clearly unable to withstand the weight of history.The emerging"Made in China"will replace old trains that have been in operation for three or four decades,as if seeing the end of an era.

  According to the Associated Press,a Chinese state-owned rail equipment company won a$567 million subway contract in Massachusetts yesterday.The report states that the"T"subway system in Boston,Massachusetts,which is the oldest subway system in the United States,is now purchasing vehicles from China,inevitably causing controversy domestically.Some opponents argue about China's human rights issues,while others notice China's extremely low offer.

  This Chinese state-owned enterprise is China CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles Co.,Ltd.According to reports,CNR has won a purchase contract for 284 subway vehicles from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation,which will be equipped with the Boston Red Line and Orange Line subways.This is the first time that a Chinese rail transit equipment enterprise has won a global bidding in the United States,and China CNR has become the only rail equipment manufacturing enterprise from China to land in the United States.

  Boston was the site of some important events during the American Revolution and was once an important shipping port and manufacturing center,known as the center of American intelligence,technology,and political thought.The first line of the Boston Metro was built and put into use in 1897,more than a hundred years ago,seven years earlier than the New York Metro that was put into use in 1904.
