BEIJING China says 21 coal miners have been killed and four more are missing following an accident inside a mine in the southern province of Guizhou.

The State Administration of Work Safety said Wednesday that a rescue effort has been mounted. State media reported that another 58 miners safely escaped the accident.

China's mines have long been the world's deadliest, although the government announced last month that the death toll fell by more than 30 percent last year to 1,384 as a result of stricter management.

China is the world's largest producer of coal, which generates about two-thirds of its energy needs.

The poor Chinese people are being led by a bunch of immoral degenerates who care nothing for their people or their land. The brutal Chinese Communist party has murdered one hundred million of its own people since 1949 and since 1999 has been attempting the heinous genocide of tens of millions of innocent Falun Gong practitioners. The West is kept in the dark concerning these atrocities because of corporate greed.
