yet another rescue action

labor - China's underground killing fields

Bloomberg reports, based on a research by the Citigroup, that November has been the most deadly for miners so far with 420 deaths in more than 150 incidents.
Close to 6,000 miners died in 2005 during accidents and while the central government has realized the urgency of closing unsafe mines, local resistance to keep the killing fields open seems stronger. Bloomberg:

China has pushed back by two years a 2008 deadline to close coal mines considered unsafe or too small to be efficient, because of opposition to the plan, the official Xinhua news agency said Oct. 12. Reluctance to obey this decree underlines the conflict between satisfying soaring energy needs and improving one of the world's worst mine safety records, said researcher Michael Zhang.

Meanwhile Chinese media reported that in Xinjiang lack of energy left house unheated.
