Stall keepers and customers buying breakfast and fresh vegetables at a food market were the major victims when the explosion hit shortly after 6 a.m., according to state media reports.
Photos showed rescuers climbing over broken concrete slabs to reach those trapped inside.
The blast appeared similar to one that occurred in the northeastern port of Qingdao in 2013, in which 55 people were killed when underground pipelines ripped open following a leak.
The Shiyan explosion came a day after eight people died and three others were injured when toxic methyl formate leaked from a vehicle at a chemical handling facility in the southwestern city of Guiyang.

Probably 10 years ago there were leaks of a supposed criminal syndicate in China that sold body parts for transplants including hearts-—from living people-—on demand. They said “We guarantee they are from a nonsmoker.”
More than one commentator in the US said “That can’t be true. How many Chinese do not smoke?”
They even cropped the cover photo of the dead leader Deng Xiaoping so it would not show the ever present lit cigarette in his hand.
Shoddy, toxic, and defective Chinese Communist materials and workmanship. Same as the sh*t they export to us and worldwide.
Forgot this line:
Just like at Notre Dame, a couple of dimwitted workers were smoking and a cigarette fell and started the fire and explosion.
China does not report terrorist attacks. If their Muslims blow something up it is reported as a gas leak. It’s a strategy to give no publicity or glory to terrorists.
Well at least their 5g is working.
The left talks about reparations to the blacks. Perhaps much more appropriate and fair would be reparations from the rich globalists of both parties who used Wall St etc to purposely turn China into a manufacturing and economic power house at the expense of USA industrial might and labor. They were greedy traitors and they often claimed wrongly it was conservatism. Conservatives protect national sovereignty at all cost.
+1000!
Reparations for blacks? I thought that was the Great Society war on Poverty. Food stamps, aid to families, subsidized school lunch programs. Government housing, medic-aid. Regarding China; slave labor may be a 21st century industry. I wonder if the powers that be planned it that way.
We should let Chinese anti-riot police platoons train in Portland.
Not enough to increase the allowed child per couple regulation. Wuhan Flu increased it from 2 to 3.
Where’s that Seinfeld “That’s a shame” gif at?
Must be the bats acting up again.
Underground pipelines ripped open.
Chinas version of OSHA = OSHIT.
They've been trying to kill us for decades. They had to find a more effective way, and ended up creating, and releasing a virus on the world.
not a bad strategy. terrorists thrive on fame.
One of the most fascinating things to me after the dissolution or fall of the USSR was to hear interviews of high ranking military officials or former communist capo’s of industry who talked openly about how inefficient and shoddy their entire system was.
The old joke “as long as they pretend to pay us we will pretend to work” sums up communism at its heart. There is little opportunity for most workers to advance or improve their station in life so they don’t really care.
China is a bit different. The Chinese culture is one of hard work historically, but we are starting to hear more about crap they make or don’t make well. If the workers cannot advance or improve their station in life this is what you expect. The regime is definitely not concerned with their health and safety!
Gee that’s tough.
Looking for that Dam to break though.
