From Asia Times:
The next generation of automated bullet trains are part of the 60 billion yuan (US$9.5 billion), 174-kilometer high-speed rail link between Beijing and Zhangjiakou in neighboring Hebei province, on which trains will gallop at up to 350km/h to whirl passengers from the capital city to the ski resort within half an hour.

The article does not mention if there will be any onboard staff, such as car hosts (typically found on Chinese HSR trains; generally at least one car host per car).
