On June 10 the Office of the State Council Work Safety Committee, the Ministry
of Housing and Urban‑Rural Development, the Ministry of Transport and the
State‑owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) jointly
summoned the chairmen of China Communications Construction Group and PowerChina
and senior heads of certain second‑tier subsidiaries. Regulators told the firms
to absorb lessons from recent disaster accidents, raise political priority on
safety and put production safety first; implement the accident‑investigation
"two closed‑loop" requirements; pursue problem‑oriented rectification and crack
down on falsification and shoddy workmanship. They ordered stricter
subcontracting controls to end 'contracting instead of management', deeper
hidden‑hazard inspections and comprehensive upgrades to risk controls. With
extreme weather expected during the flood season, the groups were instructed to
increase vigilance and take stronger, more decisive measures to secure safety.
