China fireworks plant explosion officials underreport deaths Online criticism December 24 6:39
This month, local authorities have reported lower numbers of people killed by upper agencies following an explosion at a fireworks plant in Hunan Province in inland China. There are accusations on the net that authorities have concealed the damage in order to escape responsibility.
In Hunan Province, an inland region of China, a fireworks and firecrackers plant exploded on Tuesday, and local authorities initially announced that seven people had died.
However, the country's department said on Tuesday that there were actually 13 people killed.
In China, if a production site accident kills more than 10 people, it is considered a `` serious accident '' by law, and it is necessary to report it to the country. It is pointed out that there are not many.
This time, the department in charge of the state has stated that "reporting the lie by the local authorities is malicious and has a great impact", and emphasized the attitude of responding strictly to concealment and appealing the management ability.
However, on the Chinese version of Twitter Weibo, it was reported to the authorities that "I'm familiar with Chinese officials. I don't want to get fired. There has been some distrust and accusations that "they deceive the people's lives to cheat to escape responsibility."
