Editor: It doesn't mean "sleeper train". If you read the first sentence of the Wikipedia article, you'll see that this service only started in 2008. Sleeper trains were presumably running many years before that.

It's a specific *type* of sleeper train -- a Dongche sleeper.

動車可以指:
普通動車組列車,中國大陸鐵路客運列車等級的一種,車次以「D字頭」標識。

D Train – The Second Fastest High-Speed Train in China
The prefix letter "D" refers to "Dongche" in Chinese. D trains are the second fastest high-speed trains in China. [...] D trains running during the daytime have first-class and second-class seats. While for some long-distance overnight D trains, such as Beijing – Shanghai and Beijing – Guangzhou, there are hard sleepers and soft sleepers available.
