More miner death in China ONLY AFTER 1980! Most of the miner deaths in China contributes to too FREE a market! The number of death of Chinese miners goes directly with the number of private owned mines. More private mines, more deaths.

In the last two decades, China pretty much allows everyone who have the money, or who can loan the money from the banks, to become a mine owner. As a result, the number of death going up too.

It is impossible to police so many small mines. You close them down today, they open another one somewhere tomorrow. They are responsible for most of pollution in China.

In these couple of years, the Chinese gov. starts to buy back coal mines, and setting dead lines to close down small coal mines. Also consolidate other type of mines.

So hopefully, the number of deaths will come down.

For state owned mines, China now has a new policy, asking at least one company head to go down underground with workers. So that help too<g>

IDG News Service - Students & Scholars Against Corporate Misbehavior (SACOM) has objected to the arrest earlier this month of about 319 workers of Foxconn International Holdings at a factory in Chennai, south India. The workers were striking for a wage increase among other demands.

The basic salary for Foxconn production line workers in Chennai is only about $106 a month, SACOM, a non-profit organization in Hong Kong, said in a statement on Tuesday.
