Dong Chuantong, then deputy general manager of Jizhong Energy Group, former chairman of Zhang Mining Group and secretary of the party committee, was found to have important leadership responsibilities and was recommended to have a demerit penalty. According to the official website, Jizhong Energy Group was jointly established by Hebei Jinneng Group and Fengfeng Group with the approval of Hebei Provincial Government in June 2008. The group industry is distributed in 14 provinces and regions, including Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, covering coal and new energy, medicine and health, chemical industry and new materials, modern services and so on. By the end of 2022, the group had total assets of 240 billion yuan and 100000 employees. At present, Jizhong Energy Group has jurisdiction over Fengfeng Group, Jizhong Energy, Xingtai Mining Group, Handan Mining Group, Zhangjiakou Mining Group, Jingxing Mining Group and Shanxi Jizhong Energy Company. Among them, Jizhong Energy is the only listed company, Jizhong Energy Group holds 32.81% of its shares, and the company is actually controlled by Hebei State-owned assets Supervision and Administration Commission. It is worth noting that Jizhong Energy just reported on March 30 that a roof accident occurred in the 1277 material roadway heading face of the East Shaft of Gequan Mine on March 29th, resulting in two people trapped. As of 18:50 on March 30th, the on-site rescue was over and two people trapped were confirmed dead. According to the official website, Jizhong Energy Co., Ltd., formerly known as Hebei Jinniu Energy Co., Ltd., was established by Xingtai Mining (Group) Co., Ltd. with the net assets of Dongpang Mine, Xingtai Mine and Gequan Mine, the company exclusively launched a joint stock limited company established by public offering, which landed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 1999. Jizhong energy business involves four sectors: coal, chemical industry, electric power and building materials. Coal is the company's pillar industry, and its operating income accounts for more than 80% of the company's total revenue in the first half of 2023. As of the third quarter of 2023, the company's total assets were nearly 52.4 billion yuan and the asset-liability ratio was 52.48%. Jizhong Energy currently has jurisdiction over 19 mines in five mining areas of Xingtai, Handan, Fengfeng, Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, with an annual approved production capacity of 32.65 million tons. Among them, Gequan Coal Mine has an approved annual production capacity of 900000 tons, which is a key state-owned coal mine. China Business reporter noticed that on March 25, the official website of Jizhong Energy Group published an article entitled "successful completion of various production tasks of Jizhong Energy Co., Ltd in the first quarter", which mentioned:"output is the basis for accomplishing the target for the whole year. Jizhong shares do everything possible to tap the maximum potential of the release system to ensure stable and high yield. It has successively created a number of new historical records, such as 156 meters in a single month in Dongpang Mine, 9.9 meters in Gequan Mine and 7.2 meters in Dashucun Mine. " A number of people in the industry believe that increasing production and ensuring supply leads to the increase of coal mine production load, which is an important reason for the frequent occurrence of mine accidents. Minsheng Securities explained that domestic energy demand began to soar in early 2021, and the National standing Committee first proposed to strengthen coal supply in May of that year. In 2022, it proposed to increase coal production capacity by 300 million tons through nuclear production, expansion and resumption of production, and continued the growth trend in 2023. As a result, since 2021, the year-on-year growth rate of domestic raw coal production has increased from 0.9% in 2020 to 4.7%, 9% and 2.9% respectively. With the rapid growth of raw coal output, the production load is greatly increased or even overproduced, which brings greater safety risks. According to Minsheng Securities statistics, from 2021 to 2023, there were 91,168,114 coal mine accidents in China, and the death toll was 178,245,272 respectively. However, affected by the accident, the safety supervision of domestic coal producing areas has been strengthened since the second half of 2023. For example, in November 2023, due to frequent mining accidents in Shanxi Province, the Safety Committee of the State Council provided assistance and guidance to the work of mine safety in Shanxi Province. Several people in the industry said, "with the tightening of coal mine safety supervision, domestic coal mine safety accidents are expected to reduce." **
