I remember seeing some documentary about how china stole technology for their rails from several EU/Japanese companies and now trying to sell it to the US for reduced price with worse materials. I wonder who this company 'Brightline West' is planning on getting to manufacture the actual railcars.

I personally wont trust it if it was made by China but I dont know if its stipulated in the federal grant on what vendors they can use.
