“The accident has incurred heavy casualties and taught us an extremely painful lesson,” the Premier said at the meeting.

The investigation team set up by the State Council, or China’s cabinet, must find out the cause thoroughly and punish those with dereliction of duty severely, he said.

Li ordered a nationwide overhaul of work safety focusing on dangerous chemicals and inflammable materials.
