China's Coal Mines Are Hell Holes Of Death....

China's demand for energy is growing so rapidly, that illegal unsafe mines are operating and killing miners at unprecedented rates. The Chinese officials could always deem that miner deaths are a state secret, though, one day.

Official figures show more than 6,000 miners died in mine accidents in China last year although independent estimates say the real figure could be up to 20,000.

Labor rights activists and state media reports have shown it is not uncommon for mine owners to cover up deaths to avoid punishment.

And if some miners die, just hide the bodies.
