(Last night NHK broadcast a documentary program reporting situations in certain coal mines on the Ocher Plateau of China.
There are five million coal-mine workers today in China having a population of 1.3 billion; but accidents in mines kill 5000 workers every year.
Those workers are mostly from poor villages near and far. They mostly work in a small mine without insurance and thus get very unsatisfactory compensation, if they are damaged by an accident.
However, a decade ago, it was unthinkable to see such a documentary TV film in Japan. Yet, combination of Machiavellian ism and Marxism in Chinese leaders is really a problem for poor and local Chinese and friendly Japanese. )
