China stories in new century

Who is responsible for the Mining Mishap

The picture is drew and edited by myself.

Shan xi is province famous for coal-producing, but mining mishap happened more frequent. In the last ten years, more than 50,000 people died in the mining mishap. Frequent mining accidents in China, what is the true reason of this big problem? I think we are lack of respecting of life, lack of basic human care, lack of the genuine rule of law, lack of the real effective monitoring system.
“Collusion between local government and mine owners” is already a wide dimensions and very complex social issues, because under the protection of power, the mine owners chase short-term interests, they do not care the minimum safety standards in order to satisfy their selfish. First is corruption, second is relaxed enforcement. Solve the real problems, miners can see the hopes in their lives, the community is going to harmony. The important thing is to establish a comprehensive monitoring operation mechanism and accountability system.
