China Holds Ex Minister, 53 Others Responsible For Train Crash

An inquiry today held 54 officials, including China’s former railway minister, responsible for the July crash of a high-speed train, attributing the accident that claimed 40 lives to major design flaws, relaxed safety controls and poor emergency response.

Liu Zhijun, the country’s former railway minister, and Zhang Shuguang, the railway ministry’s deputy chief engineer, are among the 54 who were awarded punishments, and state-run Xinhua news agency said the responsible officials will be punished.
