Gene Asia, Singapore,

It is difficult to respond to you. You are so hardup with the CCP that everything about them to you is negative. Surely there must be something the CCP did that were right and good for China. Not everyone is all perfect neither is one all imperfect. Are you all perfect?

Lim, Johor Bahru, Malaysia

What dreadful news. The World is thinking of China today

Can this woman ever get things right? It would NOT have been crowded with holidaymakers for the weekend. They will not stop work until Wednesday and most, will go home to their hometowns and parents! This reporter is consistently wrong about China. It is very annoying for the rest of us living here!

Bill, Suzhou, China

Whatever is the reason, it is people's lives that has been cost... Evil people will be punished!
Chinese are comfortable with their government. We are living a much more happier life than before.
Which country do not have its own problems? No one/country is perfect.

Juliana, Shanghai, China

My sympathies first to all of the train victims in Shandong. Secondly to Lim in Malaysia, please stop using every excuse to push your guileless propaganda. This is not a CCP message board.

Stuart Griffin, Leeds, England

CCP efficiency is indeed amazing! Just blame it on human error. Sack a couple of CCP members. Wonder how many in China as old as this 1897 antiquated line are still used for express trains today? Perhaps everything is planned or held back by the bureaucrats to be ready just in time for the Olympics.

Gene Asia, Singapore,

Condolences from America. Our thoughts are with the victims, the families, and the brave rescuers.

Ann, Chicago, USA

Railway disasters happened almost everywhere. This time it is in China and some lives unfortunately lost. China said it was due to human error and 2 officials had been sacked. The service is expected to resume Tuesday 29th April. Chinese efficiency is really amazing.

Lim, Johor Bahru, Malaysia

It is sad to learn of this mishap and of the people killed. Chinese Soldiers are put to good use in times of peace. So many of them are helping in rescue work.

I have also seen scenes of Chinese soldiers doing rescue work in the recent floods and other disasters. Great work PLA

Lim, Johor Bahru, Malaysia

Manish, what is all this to do with human rights or almighty?
I suppose the world is all happy to see China in trouble and deep sorrow, only because you don't like the Chinese government's attitude to Tibet and maybe the jealous of our development.

Luqian, London,

The trains of China are one of the pleasant aspects of travel in this country. They are freindly, punctual and comfortable. They are also generally the safest way to travel. Big train crashes make big news and rightly so for your thoughts have to go to so lives so unfortunately lost.

Dave Williams, Baicheng, China

Admittedly, until this unfortunate day, few rail accidents with such death toll had happened in China where train is the most popular and unceasingly most fully-loaded means of transport. when pointing finger's at its problems, put yourself in its huge shoes：would any country move with more ease?

yan wang, Beijing,

trust on our chinese. everything will be fine

jordon, china, china

This is terrible and so sad. Do we know if there were any British nationals were on board.

Janet Tonks, Dudley, U.K.

My thoughts and prayers are with all the families and friends of the victims in the tragedy.

Hang, London, UK

Manish of India, you couldn't resist could you?

At least in China they are actually investing and improving in their transport system.

jeff, Manchester,

May they rest in peace.

Dawn, cambridge,

Things are sad.
As a young Chinese adult , i have suffered a lot recently .
I hope we will be fine.

Hope no any more bad news.
Hope all of us love this world .

Aaron, Stratford-upon-Avon,

Loss of life is tragic even if the tragedy is in a country where human rights are not respected. I pray to almight to give power to near and dear ones in such a troubled period.

Manish Jaggi, Gurgaon, India

Pray for the died people!
