CHINA's media and public voiced anger over a deadly train crash that caused a slump in railway stocks and cast doubt on the breakneck expansion of the country's high-speed network. Thousands of Chinese turned to social media websites to express their anger over the handling of the disaster, with some saying they suspected the true scale of it was being covered up. Authorities moved on Sunday to allay concerns by sacking three senior railway officials and launching what the government called an "urgent review" of national rail safety. But experts said the accident, which killed at least 36 people - including two Americans and an Italian - and was China's worst ever high-speed rail disaster, would fuel existing public unease. "I think this has confirmed... a lot of the concerns over cost-cutting and corner-cutting that has been going on in the last few years," said Alistair Thornton, a senior analyst at research firm IHS Global Insight.
