China's coal mine accidents rise amid push for higher production

A deadly coal mining collapse in China this week is one of a growing number of industry accidents over the last year, government statistics show, coinciding with Beijing's recent push for higher production to improve energy security.

At least six people were killed and 47 others are still missing two days after the dramatic collapse of an open pit coal mine in China's northern region of Inner Mongolia, its No. 2 coal producing province.
