These figures were revealed at a press conference jointly organized on Tuesday by the Ministry of Supervision, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration of the State Council and the State Administration of Work Safety (SAWS). We have no reason to laud this as a victory. It is already more than a month since the deadline was set - for September 22 - for these officials to surrender their mining interests. Li Yizhong, director of the SAWS

Li said some officials have settled the matter in private without registering their investment, some are still waiting to see whether they are lucky enough to escape with their personal interests intact, and some are even determined to keep their mining interests at the risk of losing their official positions, according to the Beijing News. It is the first time high-ranking officials like Li have said bluntly that corruption

The collaboration between officials and coal mine owners is described as following four patterns: Officials invest in coal mines; officials own coal mines or protect their relatives who own coal mines; officials accept bribes to act as protective umbrellas for illegal mine owners; and officials help mine owners cover up accidents.

But criminal or disciplinary penalties will be meted out to those who have invested in coal mines using money generated through bribery or other illegal channels. Is the money made by officials who have withdrawn their mining interests clean? Who knows. An editorial in a Chinese newspaper says prosecutors should be actively involved in the investigation of the corruption related to collaboration between public servants and coal mine owners. Had the prosecutors probed the illegal side of the industry sooner, thousands of miners may not have lost their lives. It has almost become a common practice: We do not solve a problem until it becomes too serious to be ignored. It is a shame the governing mechanism could put up with the coal mining problem for years, and that so many public servants are involved so deeply in this scandal. We have so much work to do before we can build a truly harmonious society. We need to imprint into the minds of our public servants the concept of being paid by taxpayers to provide quality services. If they cheat, take bribes or abuse their power in any manner, they are biting the hands that feed. What is even more alarming about this scandal is the fact that these officials are undermining the foundations of the legitimacy of the government by abusing their powers. If we really care about the image of the government, we must kick them out of the ranks of public servants. If we really want to build a harmonious society, let us embrace the rule of law and leave no room for corrupt officials in government at any level. Enditem(Source: China Daily)Related articles：
