The Communist Party of China (CPC) is to conduct a nationwide review of disciplinary and legal action against officials who contribute to industrial accidents through corruption or negligence.
The CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced the review in a circular, saying some public officials and departments were failing to properly investigate and deal with major accidents, despite a general improvement in investigations and fighting corruption.
The announcement came as rescue workers ended their 16th day ofan operation to save 56 miners trapped in a flooded north China coal pit.
