Contrasting with the jubilation at this week's rescue of 33 miners in Chile, the death toll from an explosion in a Chinese coal mine has risen to 37 with the bodies of the last five miners trapped underground being found, state media said on Tuesday.

China's notorious safety standards has made it one of the world's deadliest countries for miners, with some 2,631 miners being killed in 2009 alone.

I love some of the translations ;-)

incures (sic) should be incurs.

But the article is a good one. Thanks for the post.

But the Chinese produce stuff so much cheaper, without all that terrible government over-regulation. Isn't that all that matters? Just think how much more expensive their coal would be if they had to put up with OSHA.
