Rescuers with backhoes and bulldozers are working to find 48 people missing after a landslide buried an open-pit mine in northern China. The death toll has risen to five, and a second landslide has caused the search to be suspended. Nearby residents have been evacuated and 900 rescuers are on the scene, searching with heavy equipment. Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for all-out efforts in search and rescue and for ensuring the safety of lives and property. The cause of the disaster is still being investigated, and the company running the mine has been fined in the past for safety violations. Despite the tragedy, the overall number of industrial accidents in China fell 27% in 2022. Follow my Facebook group to stay updated on the latest news of this tragedy.
