I don't think buy cars from the Government of China is an option. What are the chances we'd even have trade relations with an increasingly autocratic rogue dictatorship by the time delivery is complete in the 2040s. There's too much risk.

When I was in Montreal I rode on EXO's CRRC coaches.

Very cheap and plastic interiors. Uncomfortable seats. Not as good as GO's Bombardier bi-levels. Not even as good as the older, unfurbished GO coaches.
