China is confident it has the most competitive tender, for 2 billion dollars worth of rail projects in the US. The American government wants to build 22 high-speed inter-city passenger rail routes in 15 states. And China wants the contract to do it for them.

America's high-speed rail construction plan is part of the Obama administration's plan to transform travel in America.

It wants to offer rail access to new communities and improve reliability, speed and frequency of existing lines.

So far, the government has provided about 10 billion dollars for the projects. Of that, approximately 5.8 billion has already been designated for rail projects.

Now, the competition is on for who wins the right to build the bullet train system.

China says it has the most complete system, the strongest integration, the longest operational mileage, and the highest operational speed.

And the US agrees China is a competitive bidder.

But there are challenges. China lacks extensive experience and hasn't dealt much with different economic and legal environments, in the international area.

Cong Qingzi, Official of Chinese Ministry of Railways said "First of all, since we entered the high-speed train sector relatively late, other countries may have more experience. The second is that even though the Chinese rail team has some experience in expanding business in the overseas market, we are still not very familiar with the US market. The third is what we have achieved in China can not be fully moved to the US."

Experts say if China's high-speed rail technology can enter developed countries successfully, it would upgrade China's image from "exporting primary products" to "sharing high-end technology."
