CHINA has frozen approval of new railway projects and halted some bullet train manufacturing after the collision last month that killed 40 people.

The Chinese government has ordered a two-month, nationwide safety campaign on its railway system after a collision between two bullet trains killed at least 39 people.

A bullet train crashed into another high-speed train in eastern China, killing at least 35 people, injuring 191 others and once again raising safety concerns about the country’s fast-expanding rail network.
