The United States and China have been making substantial progress in high-tech cooperation over the last few years.

Just before Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to the United States from Tuesday to Friday, a high-profile joint project of building a high-speed railway from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, was announced by China's leading train maker -- China Railway Rolling Stock Cooperation (CRRC) and its U.S. partner XpressWest.

The CRRC launched an assembly line in Springfield in the northeastern U.S. state of Massachusetts earlier this month, which is expected to create hundreds of local jobs.

The CRRC will assemble 284 subway cars in Springfield to replace the aging fleets of red and orange lines which connect Cambridge to downtown Boston by 2023.

Dell Inc, the world's third-largest manufacturer of personal computers said this month that it will invest 125 billion U.S. dollars in China over the next five years, as the company continues to expand in the world's second-largest economy.

Michael Dell, chief executive officer of the computer giant, said the investment would contribute about 175 billion dollars to imports and exports, sustaining more than 1 million jobs.

On the area of aero technologies, the Aviation Industry Cooperation of China and the U.S. aviation giant Boeing Company made a joint venture in establishing Beoing Tianjin Composites Co., Ltd (BTC) in China's northern city of Tianjin.

Equipped with the most advanced aero composites material production machines, workshop and laboratory, BTC has greatly improved the producing technologies of aero composite materials in China. Now the factory has already become an important provider of Boeing for certain vital parts.
