down on the rampant corruption behind coal mines accidents.
Participants of Wednesday' s executive meeting of the State Council, China's
cabinet, said there are some government officials get involved in the coal
business for illegal money. They have become the "umbrella" for the illegal
operation of some mines.
The meeting, chaired by Premier Wen Jiabao, deliberated and passed in
principle a draft regulation on coal mine disaster prevention.
According to the regulation, coal mines must suspend operation immediately
once a hidden problem is detected. If the mines continue illegal operation,

safety training and pass the examination before taking the job. The coal
managers must take turns to go underground and work with
miners.
