- Though the rate of coal mine accidents in China has declined over the past decade, more coal mines will be closed, Yang Dongliang, Director of the State Administration of Work Safety, said. The death rate per 1 million metric tons of coal has also dropped, from 3.08 to 0.288, a decline of 90%. Yang said coal production in 2013 reached 3.7 billion tons and that the supply of coal in China still exceeds demand, which has brought coal prices down and raised costs for coal enterprises. About 2,000 small coal mines will be closed this year and in 2015. Currently, there are about 13,000 coal mines in China.
