5-9-19    CRCC has shown its ability to dominate markets using this method in Australia.  After it was allowed into the Australian market close to 10 years ago, it eventually acquired one of the three main Australian rail companies, and the two others went out of business.

  The Chinese company already has been using the same tactic in the United States.  Erik Olson, vice president of Rail Security Alliance, said that in Boston, CRCC was bidding at about half the price quoted by its competitor.

  “The Boston one is particularly interesting because the second-lowest bid was from Bombardier, which was around $1 billion, and CRCC came in at $569 million,  [CRCC] don’t have to make money, so they can do whatever they want.”…

  Under the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) National Security Law, all data needs to be “secure and controllable.”  The CCP has large-scale data monitoring programs under its Golden Shield censorship system, its Skynet surveillance system, its Social Credit System to track and rate citizens, and others.  https://www.theepochtimes.com/china-bidding-for-dc-metro-contracts-is-a-major-security-threat_2915299.html
