新闻头条：中国高铁背后的残酷真相:全部都在亏损
高铁想赚钱，不易。中国已运营的京津、武广、郑西、沪宁、沪杭5条高铁线，起码目前没看到铁路部门披露其运营情况的权威数据，但高铁上座率低、亏损严重已不是什么秘密。* * *

I did not read it. I can not find a English-language report that says so. But I do find this:

Bradley Parrett, China’s Airlines Dodge A Bullet Train. Aviation Week, June 24, 2011
http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/story_generic.jsp?channel=awst&id=news/awst/2011/06/27/AW_06_27_2011_p47-336793.xml&headline=China%E2%80%99s%20Airlines%20Dodge%20A%20Bullet%20Train
("The [airline] carriers have won a reprieve against extreme competition from fast rail on their premier route, between Beijing and Shanghai, with the railways ministry announcing fairly high fares for its imminent service")

Note: The "full-blooded" in "full-blooded competition"
(adj): "enthusiastic and determined  <Both teams played good full-blooded football.>"

Mure Dickie, Use of Brakes on China's Fast Trains Is to Be appaluded. Financial Times, June 29, 2011.

My comment:
(a) The reporter priases Mr Zhou Yimin's interview with the 21st Century Business Herald as
"extraordinarily frank."
(b) But the re4porter also cites a Japanese executive showing admiration of China's high-speed rail for
"impressive smoothness of ride" and nonchalance of safety issues.
(c) Registration is required to read the report.
