Blandy Sen: First of all, all mineral resources are state-owned and private mining is illegal. Moreover, the incidence of pneumoconiosis is a very slow and long process, which proves that it is difficult to obtain evidence for pneumoconiosis caused by working environment. The difficulty of this matter is that a miner works for an illegal coal mine without paying medical insurance and tax. The illegal employer often runs away. In addition, the government can't afford your additional treatment costs, which can only be borned by the employer.

@@condorX2 mines are not exactly small businesses. It requires a lot of investment, a lot of machinery. Not a business that can operate illegally and stay hidden.

chike james In my opinion the Communist Party is probably unable to care for every citizen in the country as of right now. China is very big with a lot of people and the Party leadership is also made of humans who have limitations. We should try to understand that the Party is trying to improve and care for everyone but has currently not achieved the goal as a significant minority just like the miner in the video are getting left behind. I really do have faith that the Party will be able to eventually care for all citizens in the near future, but the Party needs time. And I am also not sure how many people will be left “uncared” and how long will it take, I really don’t dare to predict, but I still have faith the Party will have the ability to care about everyone in everything one day.

Medical issues should not be delayed due to financial difficulties. In my country if someone is sick, they can go to government hospital to get treatment first then worry about payment when he is better. If in the end still can't afford then they need to prove to the social workers or some government staff about their poor financial situation and the bills could be waived and pay by government fund. Having the correct treatment now can increase their lifespan so I really hope actions can be taken soon. It should also be lawful for employer to be upfront regarding any work safety and risk to employee. Children of uneducated folks who are given the chance to study should be more responsible and considerate for their own parents and family members. Finding out our parents working condition and their health issues is very important. Both my parents doctor appointments including those acute types are accompanied by me. I pack their daily medications every 1 or 2 weeks to ensure they didn't miss out any dosage. Looking out for each other in the family is important.

Ong jit tuck It is sad but I think the Communist Party “no care” not because they don’t want to care, but because they’re probably unable to. China is very big with a lot of people and the Party leadership is also made of humans who have limitations. We should try to understand that the Party is trying to improve and care for everyone but has currently not achieved the goal as a significant minority just like the miner in the video are getting left behind. I really do have faith that the Party will be able to eventually care for all citizens in the near future, but the Party needs time. And I am also not sure how many people will be left “uncared” and how long will it take, I really don’t dare to predict, but I still have faith the Party will have the ability to care about everyone in everything one day.

I am from Mainland China. This is the sad truth, China government only cares about the rich people in Shanghai and Beijing. They spent billions of dollars on belt and road which can be used to save our people. Hope this video gets their attention

China cares more about building railroads for Africa than their own people.

[@ashleyliu7648]

Sad to be aware of this truth. It's the tragedy of that era because country needed to develop while people wanted to earn money but there was no law enacted and personal concept on occupational health. What's more, insurance system was coming so late that those poor people couldn't be covered. In a word, poor and uncomplete social system caused the tragedy. If now government and society can do something to help? Allowance, donation, fund, etc.

When did china ever care about its people?

You can almost say this to most Countries Including Amerika.

@@brucedoyle4055 Sure, but considering Chinas human rights abuses in recent years, stories like these unfortunately dont surprise me. Every country has a human rights abuse list.

This video taught us that we are rather in poor and stay healthy than to get rich and dying from lung disease, from breathing of the those mineral's dusts.

There are some fungus/mushroom based Lung remedies, that can help to cleanse lung issues. It's a long shot but might help.

With 5G, mechanical diggers can be used in the mining work eleminating such problems in the future.

. . . A simple dust mask would've helped tremendously.

[@lucassmith4847]

@@Roonasaur but who will pay for the masks? Theses guys dont get paid much. I dont think employers are willing to invest any safety measures on these guys.

​@@lucassmith4847 Standard Dust Mask - Model No. S-5687: 50 for $9.00, or - bulk deal - 600 for $74.00 which is just over 12 cents a piece. Even if you need a new one every day, how does that compare to their health care costs now? Not to mention their quality of life. I'm a pretty committed capitalist . . . but maybe this makes a compelling case for trade unions.

@ fake news as always from u, they already using 5g controlled machinery.

[@lucassmith4847]

@@Roonasaur 12 cent or even lower only matters if they can hold their employers liable for their medical costs. Its cheaper for employers to settle privately cases which eventually reach the news like this one than to start buying masks for everyone. Its not rare for companies to brush off these guys as mere contractors, or their diseases are due to their smoking habit, or the general fact that they live in polluted areas. These guys have no work cover, no insurance, no anything. Pretty hard for these guys to 'demand' anything until some major legislative changes imo. Btw trade union aka the All-China federation of trade unions is a joke.

Chronic bronchitis. A soft wheezing sound can be heard as he respire. At this point, his lungs have suffered permanent major damage. And one thing to notice is , the particularly enlarged capillaries around his head. Very bad sign. His brain is barely getting enough oxygen to do most task. At this point, GG. Edit : Rest in Peace.

Nice diagnoses. Anyway, I wanna share this. Blandy Sen: First of all, all mineral resources are state-owned and private mining is illegal. Moreover, the incidence of pneumoconiosis is a very slow and long process, which proves that it is difficult to obtain evidence for pneumoconiosis caused by working environment. The difficulty of this matter is that a miner works for an illegal coal mine without paying medical insurance and tax. The illegal employer often runs away. In addition, the government can't afford your additional treatment costs, which can only be borned by the employer.
