How to use the phrase "call into question" in English? Can we say "The recent train accidents that happened in China call into question the safety of bulet trains in China."?

To "call into question" means that it forces a reevaluation of something or calls something into doubt. In other words, it makes people question something that they had previously taken for fact. In this instance, it's making people doubt that bullet trains in China are as safe as they had been considered before the recent train accidents.
