While CRRC and MBTA blame the almost 10-year delayed completion of the new Red Line cars on tariffs and trade issues, let’s not forget the years of quality and safety issues that the Chinese SOE has been notorious for. zurl.co/x9NzM
As good a job as the new MBTA general manager has done at managing the CRRCMA contract, the fact still stands that doing business with a Chinese SOE is not in America's best interest. zurl.co/gErd7
ICYMI RSA raised concerns over reports that federal and MA state officials are working to secure more contracts for CRRC’s Springfield manufacturing facility — including efforts to revive SEPTA’s canceled order for Chinese-built rail cars. LEARN MORE: zurl.co/j7b0E

Brian Kane, executive director of the MBTA Advisory Board, said of CRRC, “This whole procurement has been done incorrectly from day one, and now we’re living with those consequences. It’s going to cost us an awful lot more money.” zurl.co/Ds4CZ
On CRRC: Explicit state subsidies of nearly $1.3 B helped CRRC secure major railcar contracts through aggressive underbidding. Protecting our domestic rail manufacturing is critical for our supply chain resilience and national security. Learn more. zurl.co/2l3gS
When @SEPTA terminated its $185 M contract with @CRRCMACorp for cause in 2024, it cited years of delays, poor workmanship, quality controls and zero deliveries. Those are the same problems that have plagued the @MBTA in its work with CRRC. zurl.co/hE9sl

We've got a question: When has CRRC NOT been on the Department of War list of Chinese military companies? zurl.co/f0OwL #SanctionCRRC @DeptofWar
Let's be honest, @CRRCMACorp is now nearly a decade behind schedule. Add forced-labor concerns in its supply chain, and it’s one more reason U.S. transit agencies shouldn’t do business with this Chinese SOE. @MBTA @SEPTA
The full replacement of MBTA Red Line is getting delayed again and might not happen until the early 2030s — years behind the original schedule.
Supply chains, tariffs, manufacturing hurdles and ongoing issues at the CRRC plant in Springfield are to blame.

According to Oxford Economics, the U.S. railcar industry generated an annual economic footprint of $36B in output, $14.9B in GDP contribution, and 112,200 jobs across the country. USMCA only strengthens this vital industry. zurl.co/XgO4U

Fact: CRRC's repeated inclusion on the @DeptofWar list of Chinese military companies calls for closer scrutiny of CRRC, even as it operates in the U.S. from Boston to L.A. zurl.co/dUvqU
The bipartisan Freight RAILCAR Act provides a 10% tax incentive to replace aging freight railcars, encourage industry investment and address the industry's slowing in recent years. Call on Congress to enact it and get America moving by freight rail again. zurl.co/rGhsX
The U.S. is doing the right thing by confronting one of the most distortive forces in global trade today: China's state-directed excess capacity. But precision matters, especially when it comes to broad 301 tariffs and our North American rolling stock. zurl.co/kdYZ9
