("The government handed out copies of a four-odd-minute DVD with footage from police and surveillance cameras inside and outside a mosque purportedly showing three Uighurs trying to force Muslim worshippers to take to the streets. The knife-wielding trio chased some of the worshippers when they refused, according to the footage.")

("The bullet trains are less than half full on average * * * the number of High Speed Rail passengers has stagnated at below 2.8m per month)

My comment: The loss is due to the crushing debt of "$14.8bn[]  construction cost." I wonder why the bullet train company has not reduced schedule.
