U.S. Highspeed train and China

Finally, America has come to her senses and decided to develop a clean transportation system featuring highspeed train. The potential is great, though US is a late comer just as in other field of green tech. However, in the president's speech, he only mentioned France and Japan for the achievement in high speed train system. China is a relatively respectable player in the field as well. But I guess nobody in the West wants to recognize it. Or, maybe US is deliberately excluding China in the possible future market here. France and Japan have shorter lines than China. They may have better technology but China should have more experience in long distance travel as well as diversified terrain construction. There's one more opportunity for cooperation and I sure hope President Obama won't miss it.
