China Railway Corporation is under the jurisdiction of 18 Railway Bureau, which is commonly known as the Railway Bureau in daily life, while the State Railway Bureau is only an administrative agency with no subordinate units.
Second, there are different forms of existence and authority.
Tiezong exists as a central enterprise and is managed by the State Council. The State Railway Administration exists in the form of a government agency and is under the management of the Ministry of Communications.
