China's rail network is the largest in the world, stretching over 160,000 km (100,000 miles) and racking up billions of journeys each year. Although it receives praise for its effectiveness, it has also come under fire following a number of high-profile incidents, including a 2011 crash in the eastern province of Zhejiang that left 200 people injured and 40 dead. In 2021, nine people were killed when a train in the northwestern province of Gansu ran into workers on a section of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang railway.
