Former China Railways
Minister on Trial for Corruption
China's former railways minister has gone on trial charged with bribery
and abuse of power.
The
official Xinhua news agency reports that ex-minister Liu Zhijun stood trial in
a court in Beijing on Sunday. The short dispatch gave no further details except
to say a verdict would be announced at a later date.
Liu was
fired from his post in 2011 for unspecified "severe violations" of
discipline. State media had previously accused him of taking large bribes and
illegally awarding contracts to associates.
Liu led
the expansion of China's bullet train network, which is now the world's
largest. The hugely expensive project has been plagued by debt problems and
criticized for sacrificing safety for the sake of speed.
Criticism
of the rail network intensified after two high-speed trains collided in 2011 in
the eastern city of Wenzhou, killing 40 people.
Last
month, China said it was dismantling and separating the duties of the railway
ministry, which had faced corruption allegations and been burdened with massive
amounts of debt.
Chinese
President Xi Jinping has said fighting corruption is a top priority for his
administration.
