中国山西一座煤矿5月22日发生瓦斯爆炸，造成至少90人死亡。这是中国17年来最严重的矿难。

官方媒体周一（5月25日）播出的监控画面显示了煤矿爆炸的瞬间。

当局表示事故原因仍在调查之中，但初步调查结果显示，经营煤矿的企业有“重大违法行为”。

A gas explosion at a coal mine in Shanxi, China, on May 22 killed at least 90 people, marking the country’s worst mining disaster in 17 years.

Surveillance footage broadcast by state media on Monday (May 25) showed the moment of the explosion.

Authorities said the cause of the accident is still under investigation, but preliminary findings indicate that the company operating the mine had committed “serious violations.”

A serious gas explosion occurred on the 22nd at the Liushen Gully Coal Mine in Shanxi Province, China, with the latest official report confirming at least 82 deaths, making it one of the deadliest mining disasters in 17 years.

However, in the initial stages of the incident, local authorities only reported 8 deaths. It was only after top central Chinese leaders Xi Jinping and Li Qiang issued directives to “spare no effort in search and rescue, and release information in a timely and accurate manner” that the death toll was quickly updated to 90, before being revised downward to 82, sparking widespread suspicion of local “underreporting.”

While fatalities from production safety accidents in China have declined in recent years, official data shows that in the first quarter of 2023, there were still over 3,200 incidents, with an average of more than 30 deaths per day. 中国山西的留神峪煤矿22日发生严重瓦斯爆炸事故，官方最新公布至少90人死亡，成为17年来最严重矿难之一。

但事故初期地方仅通报8死，直到中国中央高层习近平、李强作出“全力搜救、及时准确发布信息”指示后，死亡数字快速更新至90人，最后下修至90人，引发外界质疑地方“瞒报”。

中国近年生产安全事故伤亡虽下降，但官方数据显示，2026年第一季仍有超过3,200起事故，平均每天超过30人死亡。

We need to remind about this disaster.. Total casualties announced by China Government. CCP alwayes trying to recue damages and causlties of domestic disasters to emphasisz how thri country is safe and happy in the World. Most of Chinese civilians have been brainwashed to believing their mother land is very safe and happy country in the World. China’s problem is not admit their problem but hiding and manipulating that leading no progress in the future. Chinese are totally living in the imagined virtual world by their own.In this disaster, occurd by China’s traditional working habit that they made a secret tunnel in the deepest site of mine to get more coal that does not reported to government. yes. mine was state-owned.

90 lives death is not a big thing to Chinese people.. They are preparing to create yet another fake hero by focusing on how arduous the search and rescue operation is. The Chinese people will forget their grief over the deceased, their anger over the shoddy working conditions and the state’s abysmal level of supervision, and instead chatter away merely praising the hero, only to soon be forgotten from their minds. Just as the Chinese Communist Party wants.

我们需要提醒大家注意这场灾难……中国政府公布的伤亡总数。中共总是试图掩盖国内灾难造成的损失和伤亡，以此强调中国在世界上的安全和幸福。大多数中国民众都被洗脑，相信他们的祖国是世界上最安全、最幸福的国家。中国的问题不在于承认自身的问题，而在于掩盖和操纵这些问题，这导致未来毫无进展。中国人完全生活在他们自己想象的世界里。

这场灾难的根源在于中国传统的作业方式：为了获取更多煤炭而不向政府报告，他们在矿井最深处挖掘了一条秘密隧道。是的，这家矿井是国有的。

90条生命的逝去对中国人来说似乎无关紧要。他们正准备通过强调搜救行动的艰辛来塑造又一个虚假的英雄形象。中国民众将会忘记对逝者的悲痛，忘记对恶劣工作环境和国家监管不力的愤怒，转而热衷于吹捧这位“英雄”，但很快他就会从人们的记忆中消失。这正是中国共产党所希望的。

往前冲、往后退，还是原地踏步？ 作为全国最年轻的省长，山西省长卢东亮，这位二十届中央候补委员，相比同龄人，天崩开局的他，顶着耀眼的“政治明星”光环，本可以像他的前辈一样，他日封疆入阁。 可是，偏偏在这二十一大前夕的关键节骨眼上发生了山西这十几年来最为惨烈的矿难。治下管理的疏忽，让多少无辜矿工家庭支离破碎，也为自己的政治生涯留下绊脚石。 权利的争斗，往往就是如此残酷。Charge forward, retreat, or remain stagnant?

As the youngest provincial governor in the country, Lu Dongliang, the governor of Shanxi Province and an alternate member of the 20th Central Committee, had a disastrous start compared to his peers. Bearing the dazzling halo of a “political star,” he could have followed in the footsteps of his predecessors and entered the cabinet.

However, precisely at this critical juncture on the eve of the 21st National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Shanxi suffered its most devastating mining disaster in over a decade. Negligence in management shattered countless innocent miners’ families and also became a stumbling block in his own political career.

The struggle for power is often this cruel.

Chinese are struggling to maintain life pretending nothing happen in their country by follwing propaganda of their government.

中国人努力维持正常生活，假装国内什么事都没发生，他们听从政府的宣传。
