Beijing

•  In 2011, a CRRC train car led to a collision in China.
• Thirty-five people were killed in the crash, which "raised fresh questions about China’s high-speed rail ambitions and will lend support to critics calling for more investment in conventional, slower technology".

Shanghai

• Also in 2011, a number of people were killed in a train crash involving Chinese bullet trains.
• Initial reports indicated that 210 people were killed in the accident; however, a final report of the incident showed that it resulted in 40 deaths and 172 injuries.
• "It happened when one train hurtled into another that had stalled near the city of Wenzhou, south of Shanghai."
• A final report for the accident was released a year later, in 2012, and blamed "design flaws and poor management" for the incident.
• Specifically, the crash was caused by "the type LKD2-T1 train control system", which had not been formally researched and developed and for which the team "failed to carry out a comprehensive assessment and conduct testing when the system was produced".

Wuhan

•  In 2018, a CRRC-built train derailed in the Wuhan subway during a test run.
• Three people were injured in the accident "when several cars at the front of the train jumped the track and overturned after the driver applied the train’s brakes".
• The accident occurred during a test run, preventing further injuries or deaths from occurring.

United States

• In the United States, the CRRC has contracts with rail systems in Springfield, MA; Philadelphia, PA; and Los Angeles, CA.
• However, "the Trump administration is moving to ban state-owned companies like CRRC from receiving any federal funds to build transit vehicles", which could cause problems for the company's operations in the country.
