   China has laid more than 20,000 kilometres (12,400 miles) of high-speed
   rail, with a target of adding another 10,000 kilometres (6,214 miles)
   by 2020.

   China has spent an estimated $360 billion (£280 billion) on high-speed
   rail, building by far the largest network in the world.

   Morning Post that in order to avoid more accidents at higher speeds,
   the railway operator will need to reduce the number of trains in use at
