A proposal to establish an independent panel to probe the deadly bullet train collision in Wenzhou has drawn strong support from Chinese netizens. The bullet train collision killed at least 39 people.
He Weifang, a renowned law professor at Peking University, called on the National People's Congress (NPC), the country's top legislature, to rise to the occasion and establish a special committee for the investigation.
"It is hardly convincing for the culprit to look into the cause of the incident," he said in his micro blog post at Sina Weibo, China's version of Twitter, on Tuesday.
His message was later re-tweeted thousands of times by frustrated netizens, as many turned a suspicious eye to the official explanation of the collision.
An Lusheng, head of the Shanghai Railway Bureau, told media on Wednesday the cause of the train crash was the signal system, which "failed to turn the green light into red".
He pointed a finger of responsibility at the China Railway Signal and Communication Corporation, which is a research center affiliated with the Ministry of Railways and is a major designer of the failed signal system.
An's announcement was part of the initial conclusion reached by an investigation team, which includes Luo Lin, head of the State Administration of Work Safety, and other government officials.
The public accused the investigation team of lacking independence, since most of its panel members are government officials from different departments, including the Ministry of Railways.
