China: 2015 a Year of Unnatural Disasters
China: 2015 a year of unnatural disasters China Worker 31 December 2015 From Shenzhen to Tianjin – death and destruction caused by corruption, poor oversight and the blind chase for profit The December landslide that killed at least seven people in Shenzhen capped a year of deadly accidents in China. On New Year’s Eve one year ago, 36 people were killed in a stampede on Shanghai’s famous Bund, which was blamed on inadequate policing and poor planning of the festivities. A shadow hangs over this year’s celebrations in the city. In June, 454 people were killed when the Eastern Star cruise ship sank during a freak storm in the Yangtze River. In August, 173 people were killed and more than 17,000 were made homeless by a series of powerful explosions at a chemical storage warehouse in Tianjin. These disasters betray several similar features: massive media censorship afterwards to insure the official version is not questioned, pressure on survivors and relatives of the victims not to talk to media or take any measures independent of the authorities. The disregard for public safety in these cases has a common denominator: the worship of cash profits which leads companies to break the law and corrupt officialdom to turn the other way. The latest disaster in Shenzhen has enormously added to the sense of public insecurity, as expressed by many posts on social media as people wonder if their city could be next in line. “This state of affairs can’t continue without serious consequences to both public safety and domestic confidence in the system,” noted The Standard (Hong Kong) after the landslide in Shenzhen. -
