China makes big impact in Colombia

Four business deals stand out: the contract to build the long-awaited Bogota metro; the entry of electric bus fleets into Medellín and Cali; the award of the Mar 2 highway; and the bid for the suburban train in the Bogotá metropolitan area, Diálogo Chino reported.
