The Ministry of Railways (MOR) is a defunct ministry under the State Council of the People's Republic of China. The last minister was Sheng Guangzu.[1]
The ministry was responsible for passenger services, regulation of the rail industry, development of the rail network and rail infrastructure in mainland China, though in light of recent accidents, there have been calls to institute independent supervision of the rail industry.[2]
The ministry was also in charge of the operations of China Railway which manages the railway bureaux and companies in mainland China.
On 10 March 2013, it was announced that the Ministry would be dissolved and its duties taken up by the Ministry of Transport (safety and regulation), National Railways Administration [zh] (inspection) and China Railway Corporation (construction and management).[3]
