Deadly accidents at industrial plants in China are relatively common, and repeatedly raise questions about the country’s safety standards.

China vowed to improve industrial standards after chemical blasts in its port city of Tianjin last August killed 165 people.

سے Shaam (Hanafi) | 8 years ago | Reply China's human value safety standards in Industries is one of the poorest in the World. Pakistan beware before allowing China to set-up heavy industries in the country. If they do not value the life of their citizenry, you can imagine what respect for lives they'll have in other countries.
