50 Years Ago: China Launches Bulgarian Language Radio Broadcasts
In a testament to enduring friendship, this year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Bulgaria and China
At least 35 people have been killed and 44 are missing after a deadly blast in a coal mine in China's Henan province.
Chinese officials said 93 men were working underground at the time of the blast but 14 miners fled to safety, the BBC reported.
The State Administration of Work Safety said the pre-dawn gas explosion happened at Xinhua No 4 pit in Pingdingshan city.
China's mines are the most deadly in the world - thousands of workers are killed in them every year.
Most accidents are blamed on failures to follow safety rules, including a lack of required ventilation or fire control equipment.
A spokesman for the city's Communist Party committee said the Xinhua No 4 pit was undergoing renovations, and had not yet been authorised by the city government to resume operations.
Official figures show that more than 3 200 workers died in collieries last year, but independent labour groups say the actual figure could be much higher, as many accidents are allegedly covered up in order to avoid costly mine shutdowns.
