Q: bullet trains - so it wasn't a lightning bolt?

Premier Wen Jiabao Thursday vowed to "severely punish" those who are responsible for the fatal train collision.

I'm confused dint they originally blame a lighting bolt? now they say it rear ended another train?

I think that a lightening bolt could well have caused the tarin to stop in its tracks. I think what Premier Wen Jiabao means by 'severely punishing' is an investigation as to why the next train on the track was not alerted that there was a stationary train ahead. This could have been by a signal being on red, control rooms not seeing the problem, the inability to communicate with the driver of the train approaching the stationary train. So systems, people, planners.... a lot of reasons but the saddest thing of all is that in the year 2011 this should never have happened. I never travel at the front or in the rear on an MTR train - only in the middle. Its only a matter of time.......

Forward Question

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
