Accidents have already become an important factor restricting the development of a harmonious economy and society, and have attracted the strong attention of the Chinese government and society

We hope that all coal mines will learn from the bitter lessons these accidents have taught and will strengthen their safety precautions.

The number is less than that of 2004, but major fatal accidents have aroused considerable public discontent.

Clearly we must have a sense of urgency, responsibility and crisis, we cannot afford to be relaxed or careless.

Examination efforts will focus on collieries that had been asked to shut and those that were required to enhance health and safety measures.

This is a typical case caused by violation of safety regulations.

This is a typical case in which mine owners make money, miners lose their lives and the government pays the bill,

It's really difficult to make the system work.

Any mines that cannot meet safety standards will definitely be closed.

Any move trying to cover up the cause of the accident and any passive attitude toward the probe are deemed deception and a defiance of law.
