I am not sure of the ownership, but there are three of the 2-10-2's built in China in our country that I am aware of.   One is at the RJ as you stated and the other two are in Iowa.

 This information about the three locomotives thanks to steam locomotive search.

The 6988 & 7081 are stored in Newton, Iowa. R.J. Corman has bought and tested QJ No. 7040 (now No. 2008),

Since we are talking Chinese Steam in the US don't forget about the 2-8-2 (#142) owned and operated by the NYSWTHS here in NJ.
