China mine gas blast kills 21
Initial investigation: the accident happened due to "improper exploration" and "chaotic administration".

Beijing (AsiaNews/Agencies) - A gas explosion has killed 21 miners in southwestern China.

Thirty-one workers were working underground when the accident happened last Thursday at a small coal pit in the city of Panzhihua in Sichuan province.

"The initial investigation shows the accident happened due to improper exploration and chaotic administration," official source said. Ten miners had been rescued, it added. It did not say why it had taken so long to report news of the disaster.

China's mining industry, the main source of fuel for the world's seventh-biggest economy, is the world's most deadly. Explosions, floods and other underground accidents at Chinese mines killed 1,113 people in the first three months of the year.

A tool to renew the "joy" and " enthusiasm of our encounter with Christ", written shortly before the World Day of Prayer for the Church in China (May 24). The Day and "Porta Fidei" emphasize the importance of understanding the faith and to witness it in public, in unity with the pope.

Chen Guangcheng and Beijing's failure to reform

Chinese leaders run the risk however of losing control of the huge, expensive and ever-expanding security apparatus they are building. As illustrated by the Bo Xilai case, this could lead to unexpected and disastrous consequences. Here is the analysis of one of the foremost experts of modern China.
