A deal might generate controversy, considering two countries have a lack of political disagreement on some issues, AFP reports.
China has been building high-speed rail networks in Turkey and Venezuela, and now Chinese leaders are getting actively involved in the US market.
China's railway equipment exports increased by 34.7 percent annually from $80 million in 2001 to $3.74 billion last year, said Zhi Luxun, a senior official with the commerce ministry's foreign trade department, AFP reports.
