15 people died and at least 26 others fell ill after a liquid ammonia leak on August 31 at the Shanghai Weng Brand Cold Storage Industrial Company in Shanghai’s Baoshan District.

CDT has collected the selections we translate here from a variety of sources and has checked them against official Chinese media reports to confirm their implementation.

Since directives are sometimes communicated orally to journalists and editors, who then leak them online, the wording published here may not be exact. The original publication date on CDT Chinese is noted after the directives; the date given may indicate when the directive was leaked, rather than when it was issued. CDT does its utmost to verify dates and wording, but also takes precautions to protect the source.
