If a Chinese coal mine is shut down due to safety while Chinese power outages are hitting 400 million people and a large chunk of their manufacturing sector...
That has got to be a safety issue on a Chernobyl level.
There’s something odd about this. The CHICOMS would never take this action dye to strictly safety if they needed the coal. I wonder if they using this as a cover to screw up supply chains to the US, the strategy being it will hurt them but hurt the US more so a strategic win.
