Wang said the crash has caused large number of casualties and great property losses. The ministry will find out the cause through thorough investigations and take effective measures to prevent similar accidents. Despite the accident, the spokesman said the ministry is still confident in China's high-speed trains. "China's high-speed train is advanced and qualified. We have confidence in it," he said. However, he also said that the high-speed railway service has only operated for a short period, and its safety is confronted with many new situations and problems. "Safety should be put as the top priority," Wang said. The ministry would promptly correct the mistakes and thoroughly analyze the safety system to eradicate potential risks, he said. The damaged rails have been repaired and were ready to resume operation but the reopening was delayed by the stormy weather, according to Wang.
