Officials are calling it the worst mining disaster in China since 2009, and critics say it exposes the country\u2019s superficial approach to safety oversight. Correspondent Bae Sam-jin in Beijing reports. [Reporter] Three days into the rescue effort after a gas explosion at a Shanxi coal mine, the death toll stands at 82, with more than 120 people injured. Authorities initially reported the toll as high as 90 but later revised it after removing duplicate counts. \u300cCheon Sang-yang \/ Mayor of Changzhi, Shanxi Province\u300d At the time, 247 people were working underground. According to the press briefing, 82 people died and two remain missing. Authorities say a methane explosion in the coal seam triggered the accident, and standing water near the blast site impeded rescue operations. Local media reported lax management of worker rosters, tunnel maps and location cards, and said the mine had already been subject to six administrative penalties. This accident is the deadliest mining disaster in China since the 2009 Xinxing mine explosion in Heilongjiang, which killed 108 people. \u300cRescuer at Shanxi mine (state-run CCTV)\u300d The tunnel was choked with coal dust; visibility was nearly zero and it was hard to breathe. I focused on my sense of direction and ran as fast as I could. China has boosted coal production and gas development to bolster energy security amid U.S.-China tensions and instability in the Middle East, yet large-scale mine accidents continue. The 2023 collapse at the Arshan mine in Inner Mongolia killed 53 people, and major fatal accidents later struck Heilongjiang and Henan provinces. Analysts say safety inspections have become perfunctory amid production pressure, cost-cutting and local governments\u2019 reliance on mining revenue. \u300cChina\u2019s state-run CCTV\u300d President Xi Jinping urged all regions and departments to learn from the accident, always put safety first, and thoroughly investigate and rectify all risks and potential hazards. China ordered operations stopped at four Shanxi mines and announced sweeping investigations and strict penalties to hold local governments, regulators and companies accountable.
