re: #117 goddamnedfrank

Hopefully China’s government takes todays highly public tragedy as an impetus to finally get real about industrial, mine, zoning, fire, construction code and workplace safety regulations. Explosions like this happen at the long end of a egregious failure train.

Sooner or later this will have to happen, but the present level of corruption in China will make this a very slow process. The party boss at the top can change views quickly, but that’s not enough to ensure progress.
