The Chinese government is not really concerned about catastrophic accidents as threats to its power—how much of a threat could a dozen people dying in a coal mine explosion accident be to it?"

The government of the People's Republic of China has a longstanding set of policies restricting the information to which citizens are exposed, and that which they may themselves publicly say.
