CHINA did not steal train manufacturing technology from the West and had not been closing its domestic train market to foreign bidders.
That was the message yesterday from China's Ministry of Railways spokesman Wang Yongping in response to media reports of accusations by Philippe Mellier, chief executive of the world's second-largest train manufacturer, Alstom Transport, made against China.
Mellier was reported in the Financial Times on Friday as saying that Chinese companies were exporting trains using technology stolen from Western suppliers.
He also called for a boycott of Chinese train exports claiming China blocked bids from foreign manufacturers.
If Mellier really made those accusations, they were irresponsible, Wang told a press conference. "China has been innovative and formed its own train brand after joint technology development with overseas manufacturers."
"Foreign companies gained commercial benefits from the cooperation and we gained our own technologies. The property rights belong to Chinese companies," Wang said.
