Shanghai Disney Resort X-rays visitors' bags

Shanghai Disney Resort has introduced two X-ray machines in its latest efforts to improve its safety checks. The new machines replace staff at two inspection channels but visitors will still need to open their bags if asked to do so. Disney's policy of asking visitors to open their bags to let security staff see what's inside sparked claims of invasion of privacy. The resort said the X-ray machines are on trial and they will listen to feedback from visitors. There will be more X-ray machines in future, the resort said.

Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway to open

The Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway, which connects the two host cities for the 2022 Winter Olympics, started test run on Tuesday. It is planned to be put into operation by the end of this month, opening a convenient transport route between the Games clusters. The 174-kilometer network will shorten the travel time from the current three hours between the two cities to less than one hour, according to China Railway Corp. Once opened, it will feature the world's first automatically driven, driver-monitored trains, running at a top speed of 350 kilometers per hour. It will enhance the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province, as well as connecting the western region.
