5 railway officials in
China fired after crash. May 4, 2008
BEIJING (AP) — China's government has
fired five railway officials after last week's train crash that killed
72 people and injured hundreds of others, a state-run news agency
reported Sunday. The officials made mistakes that "directly caused the
disaster," the official Xinhua News Agency said. Investigators blamed
excessive speed for China's worst train accident in a decade, when a
high-speed passenger train jumped its tracks and slammed into another in
rural Shandong province on Monday. The five officials in the Jinan
Railway bureau were in charge of the section of track outside Zibo city
where the crash happened, Xinhua said. State media reported an order was
issued the day of the accident to reduce speed in the area because of
construction on a new rail line. The instructions were not clearly
relayed to the train's operators and other rail staff. The accident was
the worst train crash in China since 1997, when another collision killed
126 people.

specific and progressive set of rules encouraging the release of
government information, when it takes effect on May 1, 2008. (Click

Inspection System Targets
Corrupt Officials
China Daily July 28, 2006 - China has set up an inspection

Party of China's discipline sector said yesterday at a news conference
in Beijing. Gan Yisheng, secretary-general and spokesman with the
Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the CPC, said the
commission has so far completed inspection tours of 31 provincial
governments, four state assets management corporations and nine
state-controlled banks. The provincial governments have also
respectively established their inspection tour system to check local
governments and state-owned enterprises. More than 10,000 government
officials were held liable by 11 provincial-level and 18 major city
governments in the first half of this year in a national campaign
against slack administrative law enforcement. (Click
