The Price Of Corruption in China--the question is not whether investigators will find corrupt officials, it is how far up or down or sideways in the bureaucracy will they go in making arrests.

Chinh's news: The Price Of Corruption: "By Gady Epstein BEIJING - Recently I had the rare pleasure of interviewing a coal mine boss, one of Chinese society's favorite villains, abo..."

The ultimate cost of corruption is in those mines that cut corners on safety and get away with it until the next deadly accident.

The official count is that 50,000 miners died in Chinese coal mines this decade, and the real number is probably much higher. who made the evil coal boss possible? Who allowed and even rewarded the operation of unsafe mines? the root of problem are corrupt senior communist officials like as ZHAO Tiechui (the Head of China Coal Mine Work safety whist the member of standing committee of Central Commission for Disciplne Inspection of the Communist Party of China).
.

"The inspection teams who went to check the coal mines, they asked for money. If you didn't give them money, they would close down the mine,". 

"How much you paid depended on the title. The bureau chief and the office director and the staff all have different prices."

Corruption is so pervasive in China that it does not tear at the fabric of governance--it is the fabric.

Top law enforcement officials and potentially thousands of police officers allegedly worked in concert with the mafia, or formed a core element of the mafia that controlled the jurisdiction of 32 million people in one city.....including a senior anti-corruption cadre..

Many of the highest-profile crackdowns are viewed less as cleanup efforts than as factional maneuvers to undermine enemies and consolidate power.

There are cities and towns in China where it is hard to distinguish between the mafia and the government, where illegal gambling houses operate with impunity and loan sharks enforce their debts with machetes. And where factory and mine owners pay protection money to stay in business. It is estimated that corruption accounted for 20% of operating costs in the coal mine business, and that figure is likely higher. 

In China, corruption rules the coal mines---collusion between the government and the mines is widespread

Chinh's news: In north China, corruption rules the coal mines: "By Robert Saiget A miner prepares to start work at a coal mine in Xi'an Mine workers carry pipes to the entrance of the flooded Wangjialing..."

collusion between the government and the mines is widespread in China

China's vast coal mining industry is notoriously accident-prone due to lax regulation, corruption and inefficiency as mines rush to meet soaring demand.

Most of the corrupt officials have not been investigated because they are good at concealing their crimes. They use relatives to indirectly operate mines and rake in profits

 
His luck was no good -- what is pitiful is that there are so many with good luck. What is even funnier is that luck can be bought by money. High-level leaders are the gods of good fortune," said one user of a Sina.com chatroom.
During his trial, Hao fingered more senior officials -- accusations that were struck from the record by the presiding judge.
"There are reasons that I have fallen so low," numerous state press reports quoted Hao as saying at his trial, accusing the county's Communist Party secretary of demanding a huge bribe from him as the judge cut him off.
The Pu county government refused to comment on the case when contacted by AFP.

Miners were killed 1,261 in the first half of this year in China; an increase from 1,175 in the same period of 2009 because epidemic corruption.

Dear PM WEN Jiabao

should there be taken a legal  punishment on root of resource as corruption as Mr. ZHAO Tiechui (Head of  coal mine work safety of China), the miner death toll would be cut in its pits than sending bosses into the shaft with the miners. It is better to ask Madam FU Ying which corrupt communist officials have been contacted her. of cause I hand their criminal evidences that it is sufficient for justice claimed by both thousands died miners and legal system of China.  I think you already got evidences about their criminal activities that my English lawyer Louise sent to you in Dec 2009 and January 2010 via Royal Mill.

Unpublished reports in China by China Central Television reporter Yuan Baixin and Henan Television reporter Dou Dongjie
"The mine is powerful," said one 35-year-old survivor who lives in a nearby village. "When I refused to leave the hospital and accept the compensation they offered, one representative told me that they even knew people in the central government. "This must be true. Why else would there be no media reports of our plight?"
Allegations that accidents in the mainland's coal mining industry are covered up are common but they are seldom confirmed.

The cover-up at the Xingdong No2 Mine offers a rare glimpse into how the process operates.The privately owned mine was only a small one but it had extraordinarily deep pockets and strong official connections.That meant it was able to silence witnesses, survivors and the families of dead workers through intimidation and hush money!

There's no way I could win in a lawsuit".

Henan Television broadcast a report about the cover-up on May 27 but an order "from above" banned any repeats.
