Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao vowed on Thursday to severely punish those responsible for the recent bullet train collision. He ordered a swift, transparent probe into the fatal crash, and promised that the results would stand the test of time.


All eyes are now fixed on the settling of the accident.


The rescue work organized by the Ministry of Railways sparked widespread public criticism. Earlier official explanations of the crash's causes are in doubt.



The authorities should accelerate the probe into the tragedy and provide convincing results to ease public suspicions. This is the only way to regain public trust in the safety of high-speed rail.


Nevertheless, a predicament is looming. Many choose not to believe whatever results the authorities provide. Microblogs are prime evidence of this. The release of official findings constantly meets with suspicion and resistance, although the outpouring of online anger does not represent the overall attitude.


Responsible media outlets should remain neutral, rather than being swayed by online anger or pre-conceived ideas. The media is responsible for pointing out doubtful elements of government findings, but such questioning should be carried out in a serious and scientific manner.


People should focus on this specific case and reflect upon loopholes in technology or management, rather than just attributing the accident to a deficiency in China's national mode of development.

Looking into a deficiencies of the nation's central system may seem like being able to obtain a fundamental settlement of all problems. However, this is far beyond the scope of the investigation into this disaster, and may achieve nothing but interfere with the truth in this specific case.


The logic that no problem can be fixed before the system itself gets an overhaul is inappropriate. In fact, at this stage of transformation, various problems, including the safety of the high-speed railway system, can barely be fixed through a surgery to the nation's system.


Previously, when all kinds of public desires were taken care of by the government, an adjustment of the system often led to considerable productive forces and public confidence.


Today, reform measures can no longer have such colossal effects anymore. The government should be resolute in carrying on with reform and boost changes to the general social environment. But as for specific problems, these must patiently fixed, one by one.


Recently, China has witnessed several public relations disasters, including the Red Cross scandal. Society is paying close attention and the Internet is seeing a collective eruption of anger. Each public crisis incurs fatigue and puzzlement across society.


It is the government who should take the initiative in changing this predicament. The government should first change the way it handles crisis management. Ensuring open, transparent investigations is the only way to reduce social doubts.


The government's voice should be convincing and powerful enough to restore its credibility with the public.
