China needs 10 years to "fundamentally" improve coal mine safety: official

BEIJING, Feb. 13 (Xinhua) -- China's coal production safety record has improved over the past 10 years, with annual fatalities at coal mines falling from a peak of 6,995 deaths in 2002 to 2,631 in 2009, according to Zhao Tiechui, head of the State Administration of Coal Mine Safety (SACMS).

Zhao said China reported over 20 major coal mine accidents (with death toll of more than 10) in 2009, much less than the peak of 70. For each 1 million tonnes of coal produced, the mortality rate has fallen from 5.4 to less than 1 replica breitling in 2009.

Zhao, however, warned that China's coal mines were still accident- prone and the world's largest coal-producing country still faced a difficult task in improving its coal mine safety.

He said China, which set up the SACMS 10 years ago to improve the safety conditions of coal mines nationwide, would still need another 10 years to "fundamentally improve" China's coal production safety record.

Zhao said China's coal-dominated energy mix would not change drastically in the next several decades and the country's coal production was expected to surpass 3.1 billion tonnes in 2010.

"Coal mine safety is still a big problem," he said. "Awareness of safety and rule of law is still low in some coal-rich areas and some coal enterprises."

China's annual coal production jumped from just over 1 billion tonnes in 2000 to almost three billion tonnes in 2009. Currently 70 percent of China's primary energy generation comes from coal.

With regards to safety, the complicating factor was that around 90 percent of more than 10,000 coal mines in China were small, and their safety record was far worse than large operations, he said.

For each 1 million tonnes of coal produced, the death toll at small mines is eight times that of large state-owned ones.

In 2009, coal produced by small mines accounted for 35 percent of national total, but the accidents and fatalities at them accounted for nearly 70 percent of the total, Zhao said.

He said 1,088 small coal mines were closed last year, and a total of 13,000 small coal mines had been shut down since 2005.

WOOSTER -- The College of Wooster's first speaker in this year's Great Decisions series painted a picture of China as a nation that has held its own in a global economic crisis and one whose performance on the world stage should not be underestimated.

But neither did David Lampton, dean of the faculty and director of China Studies at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced Studies, suggest it should be particularly feared.

Lampton outlined for a filled Gault Auditorium in the Scheide Music Center Tuesday evening why China has fared well in the financial crisis and why it should be expected China will continue to do well, attributing much of its success not to its "export machine," but to urbanization.

It has managed to move 300 million people "from abject poverty in the countryside" to employment in cities. Although he pointed out it has 400 million to go, Lampton highlighted other areas of progress in transportation and education.

Despite China's many problems and uncertainties, he said, its tremendous growth dynamicserves as an indication the United States "shouldn't be betting it will underperform."

Another positive economic factor is Chinese "save enormously," Lampton said, as a country, 40 percent-50 percent of its GNP. "Fiscally, the Chinese are extremely conservative."

Thus, he said, when the crisis hit, China was "in relatively good shape" with low household and government debt."

"The Chinese are managing their economy -- fiscal and monetary situation -- responsibly," he said, allowing them to pump in "a much bigger percentage of the GDP into (economic) stimulus."

"(China) is using this downturn as an opportunity," Lampton said, making, for instance, investments in United States' businesses ranging from automobile plants to tool and die factories.

On the other hand, Lampton said, "China has lots of problems. It is still a desperately poor country in many ways."

With sets of leaders "jockeying for position" in the United States and China, Lampton predicted a possible "rough patch" in relations between the two, with the "most fundamental reason (being) a strategic mutual distrust."

"China is building its military power and becoming more technologically proficient," Lampton said. But it is primarily turned inward.

"When we think about our security, we often think about the world outside," Lampton said, whereas the Chinese think the way to be secure is to become stronger internally.

In traveling down the road to urbanization and a market economy - - "a very wrenching domestic policy" -- the Chinese answer to its many internal problems is to be involved in "as few external problems as possible," such as those in North Korea, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

"China, I think, is trying to develop a balanced power portfolio," Lampton said, adding the challenge the United States faces in its relationship with China is more economic and intellectual than it is military.

In over-investing in the military, the Soviet Union "didn't just weaken its constituency at home, but frightened the rest of the world. The Chinese, I think, don't want to over-invest in the military," he said.

But they also are beginning to understand it doesn't always have to be a coercive element; it can be used as "a soft exercise of power;" for exam
