At the end of January, four Chinese gypsum miners were rescued from a mine collapse after 36 days buried underground. The rescue effort that saved them was massive and highly publicised, but it could not do anything for a number of other miners. As previously reported, Chinese mines are among the most dangerous in the world. It is hoped that greater focus on disasters such as this one in the city of Linyi, Shandong Province, will lead to greater health and safety measures for miners.
