CREC has its origin in the two former General Infrastructure Bureaus of the Ministry of Railways, namely those for Engineering and for Designs respectively, both being established in March 1950. After several rounds of restructuring, the two General Bureaus became the Railway Ministry’s General Bureau for Capital Construction, mainly in charge of guiding, organizing, commanding, coordinating and managing the capital construction in the country’s railway sector. Authorized by the State Council, the Ministry of Railways dismissed the General Bureau for Capital Construction on 1 July 1989 and established China Railway Engineering Corporation (CREC). CREC was officially severed from the Ministry of Railways on 28 Sept. 2000 and was placed in its entirety under the management by the Central Government. Following the establishment of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission(SASAC) of the State Council in May 2003, CREC was placed under the patronage of SASAC.
