In 2011, a signaling system fault caused a deadly train crash in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province. After the accident that claimed the lives of 43 people, China reduced the speed limit for its fast trains.<\/p>\n<p>However, to boost domestic and international trade, Beijing upgraded the country\u2019s railroads.
