In China, human life is cheap. Safety is expensive. Not cost effective to be safe. Its bad business. Liability and consequence don't exist. Just the way its always been.

I think train runs on a token like system? Like the entire way is separated into different small sections (like 5~10 miles) and the system only give token to a single train going the same direction at any given time.
Maybe China's system is different?
