一、经济建设中的人权保障 I.
Protection of Human Rights in Economic Construction
中国有13亿多人口，不发展经济，不首先解决人民的温饱问题，其他一切权利都难以实现。发展是解决中国所有问题的关键，也是推动中国人权事业发展的根本。只有推动经济持续健康发展，才能筑牢人民幸福安康的物质基础，保障人民的生存权和发展权。多年来，中国坚持以经济建设为中心，通过发展经济来扩大城乡就业，增加居民收入和家庭财产收入，改善人民衣食住行用等条件，维护弱势群体权益，使公民经济权利得到更加切实的保障。
China has a population of over
1.3 billion. For such a populous country, it would be impossible to protect the
people’s rights and interests without first developing the economy to feed and
clothe the people. Development is the key to solving all existing problems and
facilitating progress of human rights in China. Only by pursuing healthy and
sustainable economic development can China consolidate the material foundation
for the people’s happiness and wellbeing, and protect their rights to subsistence
and development. For many years, China has taken economic construction as the
central task and, through economic growth, expanded rural and urban employment,
increased the residents’ income and family property income, provided the people
with better food, clothing, housing, transportation and other daily
necessities, safeguarded the rights and interests of disadvantaged groups, and
effectively protected the citizens’ economic rights and interests.
人民生活水平不断提高。经济的平稳较快发展为改善民生奠定了基础，创造了条件。2012年，在世界各大经济体增长全面减速、各种风险不断暴露的情况下，中国国内生产总值增长7.8%，居民消费价格涨幅回落到2.6%。2012年全年粮食总产量达到58957万吨，实现新中国成立之后第二个连续9年增产，连续6年产量超5亿吨。民以食为天，粮食生产连续9年增长，对于一个13亿多人口的国家来说意义十分重大，为中国人民过上幸福美好生活打下了坚实基础。农村生产生活条件不断改善。2008年至2012年，新建改建农村公路146.5万公里，改造农村危房1033万户，解决了3亿多农村人口的饮水安全和无电区445万人的用电问题。城乡居民收入增长较快。2012年全年农村居民人均纯收入7917元，比上年增长13.5%，扣除价格因素，实际增长10.7%；全年城镇居民人均可支配收入24565元，增长12.6%，扣除价格因素，实际增长9.6%。城乡居民收入实际增长快于国内生产总值增长，农村居民收入实际增长快于城镇居民。2012年，农村居民家庭恩格尔系数（即居民家庭食品消费支出占消费总支出的比重）为39.3%，城镇居民家庭恩格尔系数为36.2%。到2012年底，全国民用轿车保有量5989万辆，比上年增长20.7%，其中私人轿车5308万辆，增长22.8%；城镇居民每百户拥有汽车21.5辆，比2007年增加15.5辆。全国固定及移动电话用户总数达到139031万户,比上年末增加11896万户。移动电话普及率达到82.6部/百人，固定电话普及率达到20.7部/百人。互联网上网人数5.64亿人,其中使用移动电话上网人数4.2亿，互联网普及率达到42.1%。2012年全年国内出游人数达29.6亿人次，比上年增长12.1%；国内居民出境人数8318万人次，增长18.4%。其中因私出境7706万人次，增长20.2%，占出境人数的92.6%。积极稳妥推进城镇化。2008年至2012年转移农村人口8463万人，城镇化率由45.9%提高到52.6%，城乡结构发生了历史性变化。
The people’s living standards are
constantly on the rise. Steady yet relatively rapid economic development has
provided the foundation for a better livelihood for the Chinese people. Despite
the slowdown of economic growth in the world’s major economies and the
manifestation of various risks, China’s GDP grew by 7.8 percent in 2012 and the
rise in the CPI (Consumer Price Index) fell back to 2.6 percent. China’s annual
grain output in 2012 reached 589.57 million tons, registering the second
nine-year consecutive growth since the founding of the People’s Republic of
China in 1949, topping the 500-million-ton mark for six years in a row. Food is
people’s paramount necessity. For a country with more than 1.3 billion people,
a nine-year consecutive growth in grain output was of particularly significant
importance, as it laid a solid foundation for the Chinese people to live a
happier and better life. The living and production conditions in rural areas
have kept improving. From 2008 to 2012 China built or rebuilt 1.465 million km
of rural roads, renovated 10.33 million rural houses in disrepair, solved the
problem of drinking water safety for over 300 million rural residents, and
provided power to 4.45 million people in areas previously devoid of access to
electricity. At the same time, urban and rural residents’ income has been
growing relatively rapidly. The annual per-capita net income for rural
residents reached 7,917 yuan in 2012, up 13.5 percent over the previous year or
10.7 percent in real terms. The annual per-capita disposable income for urban
residents was 24,565 yuan, an increase of 12.6 percent or 9.6 percent in real
terms year on year. The income growth of urban and rural residents in real
terms outpaced the GDP growth, while the income growth of the rural residents
in real terms surpassed that of the urban residents. In 2012 the Engel
coefficients (i.e., the proportion of food expenditure in the total consumption
spending) per rural and urban household were 39.3 percent and 36.2 percent,
respectively. By the end of 2012 car ownership had reached 59.89 million, an
increase of 20.7 percent over the previous year, among which 53.08 million were
private cars, an increase of 22.8 percent. There were 21.5 cars for every 100
urban households, an increase of 15.5 over 2007. The combined number of fixed
and mobile phone users reached 1,390.31 million, an increase of 118.96 million
over that at the end of the previous year. There were 82.6 mobile phones and
20.7 fixed phones for every 100 people. There were over 564 million Internet
users in China, among whom 420 million access the Internet via mobile phones.
The Internet penetration rate reached 42.1 percent. The number of domestic
tourists in 2012 totaled 2.96 billion, and the number of Chinese citizens
making trips abroad reached 83.18 million, up 12.1 percent and 18.4 percent, respectively,
over the previous year. Among them, those making trips abroad for private
purposes reached 77.06 million, a year-on-year increase of 20.2 percent,
accounting for 92.6 percent of the total. Active and steady efforts have been
made to promote urbanization. From 2008 to 2012, a total of 84.63 million rural
laborers moved to cities and towns, raising the urbanization rate from 45.9
percent to 52.6 percent and effecting a historic change in China’s urban-rural
structure.
农村扶贫开发进入新阶段。为不断提高农村贫困人口生活水平，中国政府于2011年颁布《中国农村扶贫开发纲要（2011-2020年）》，明确提出到2020年稳定实现扶贫对象不愁吃、不愁穿，以及保障其义务教育、基本医疗和住房的总目标。国家大幅度提高扶贫标准，将农民人均纯收入2300元（2010年不变价格）作为新的国家扶贫标准，更多低收入人口被纳入扶贫范围。2011年全国扶贫对象覆盖人口1.22亿人，占农村户籍人口的12.7%。2012年，中央财政综合扶贫投入2996亿元，比2011年增长31.9%。其中，中央财政专项扶贫资金332亿元。启动实施了武陵山、六盘山、罗霄山等11个集中连片特困地区区域发展与扶贫攻坚规划及“十二五”（2011-2015年）时期支持西藏、新疆和新疆生产建设兵团、四川云南甘肃青海四省藏区经济社会发展规划，着力解决深度贫困问题。2011年，国家扶贫开发工作重点县农村居民人均纯收入3985元，比2009年增长40.2%，增幅高于全国农村居民平均水平。按照新的国家扶贫标准，2012年末农村贫困人口为9899万人，比上年末减少2339万人。国家编制出台了《扶贫开发整村推进“十二五”规划》，计划“十二五”期间，完成中西部3万个贫困村整村推进任务，年均6000个村。农村贫困残疾人生活状况进一步改善。2012年国务院印发《农村残疾人扶贫开发纲要（2011-2020年）》。2012年，共扶持229.9万农村贫困残疾人，为86.1万农村残疾人提供实用技术培训，为13.2万户农村贫困残疾人家庭实施危房改造。
Poverty reduction in rural areas
enters a new stage. To constantly improve the living conditions of the
impoverished population in rural areas, the Chinese government promulgated the Outline of Development-oriented Poverty
Reduction for China’s Rural Areas (2011-2020) in 2011, setting forth the
general objective of providing adequate food and clothing for poverty-stricken
people while ensuring their access to compulsory education, basic medical
services and housing by 2020. The state raised the national poverty line substantially
to 2,300 yuan per person per year on average (calculated at 2010 constant
prices), and by this criterion more low-income people have been included in
poverty-reduction programs. In 2011 a total of 122 million people were covered
by poverty-reduction programs all over the country, making up 12.7 percent of
the rural population. In 2012 the central government spent 299.6 billion yuan
on comprehensive poverty-reduction programs, an increase of 31.9 percent over
the previous year, of which 33.2 billion yuan was special funds for poverty
reduction. The state has launched regional development and poverty-reduction
projects in 11 regions, including the Wuling, Liupan and Luoxiao mountainous
areas, as well as plans to support the economic and social development of
Tibet, Xinjiang, Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, and the
Tibetan-inhabited areas in the provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu and Qinghai
during the 12th Five-year Plan period
(2011-2015). These efforts were aimed at alleviating deep-rooted poverty in
these areas. In 2011 the average per-capita annual income for farmers in the
counties which are key targets of the government’s poverty-reduction work
reached 3,985 yuan, an increase of 40.2 percent over 2009, a higher growth rate
than that of the average level in China’s rural areas. By the end of 2012 the
size of the impoverished population in rural China had decreased to 98.99
million according to the new criterion, 23.39 million fewer than that at the
end of the previous year. The state formulated the 12th Five-Year Plan for Village-based Development-oriented Poverty
Reduction, planning to lift 30,000 impoverished villages in central and
western China out of poverty, or 6,000 villages per year, in the five years
from 2011 to 2015. At the same time, the living conditions of impoverished
disabled people in rural areas have been further improved. In 2012 the State
Council issued the Outline of
Development-oriented Poverty Reduction for Disabled People in Rural Areas
(2011-2020). In the same year the state rendered support to 2.299 million
disabled people in poverty in rural China, provided training for 861,000
disabled people in practical skills and helped 132,000 poor families with one
or more disabled members to renovate their houses.
少数民族贫困地区人民生活不断改善。根据民族地区的实际，中国政府坚持国家帮助、发达地区支援、民族地区自力更生相结合的方针，制定出台一系列优惠政策，推动少数民族地区经济发展，努力提高各民族人民生活水平。中央财政不断加大对民族地区的转移支付力度。2010年至2012年，中央财政对8个民族省（自治区）转移支付总额为26055亿元，占中央财政对地方转移支付总额的比重由24.3%提高到25.7%，同时加大了对民族自治州、民族自治县及边境地区的转移支付力度。国家编制实施《扶持人口较少民族发展规划（2011-2015年）》，将6个10万人以上30万人以下的民族纳入扶持范围，安排专项资金帮助人口较少民族发展经济和改善生产生活条件。国家支持边境地区经济社会发展，编制实施《兴边富民行动规划（2011-2015年）》。国家制定了促进牧民增收、支持牧区发展的政策。少数民族和民族地区脱贫致富成效显著。2005年至2010年，民族8省区贫困人口从2338.4万人减少到1304.4万人，贫困发生率从16.5%下降到7%，比全国同期贫困发生率下降幅度快了近5.5个百分点。
People’s living standards in
poverty-stricken ethnic-minority areas are continuously improving. Based on the
actual conditions in ethnic-minority areas, the Chinese government, adhering to
the principle of combining assistance from the central government, support from
developed regions and self-reliance of the ethnic-minority areas, has
formulated a series of preferential policies to promote the ethnic-minority
areas’ economic growth and improve the living conditions of all ethnic groups.
The central government has been continuously increasing transfer payments to
ethnic-minority areas. From 2010 to 2012 the total amount of transfer payments
to eight ethnic-minority provinces (autonomous regions) reached 2.6055 trillion
yuan, up from 24.3 percent to 25.7 percent of the total transfer payments from
the central government to local governments. Meanwhile, transfer payments to
ethnic-minority autonomous prefectures, counties and border areas have also
been increased. The state formulated and promulgated the Plan for Supporting the Development of Ethnic Minority Groups with
Fewer Populations (2011-2015), including six ethnic minority groups with
populations ranging from 100,000 to 300,000 each in the recipients of
assistance, and earmarked special funds to help them develop their economy and
improve their production and living conditions. The state also rendered support
to the economic and social development of border areas by formulating the Action Plan to Bring Prosperity to Border
Areas and the People There (2011-2015). The state adopted policies to
increase income for the herdsmen and promote the development of pastoral
regions. Marked achievements have been scored in helping ethnic-minority areas
and their people get rid of poverty and become relatively well-off. From 2005
to 2010 the number of impoverished people in the eight aforesaid provinces
(autonomous regions) decreased from 23.384 million to 13.044 million, and the
impoverishment rate dropped from 16.5 percent to 7 percent, nearly 5.5
percentage points faster than the national average impoverishment rate in the
same period.
城乡居民住房条件进一步改善。2009年以来，围绕“住有所居”和“城市化进程中人类住区的可持续发展”两大主题，在推进城镇住房市场化改革，努力通过发展商品房市场满足群众多层次住房需求的同时，中国政府把满足困难群众基本住房需要，列为政府提供基本公共服务的重要内容，通过大规模实施保障性安居工程，加快推进住房保障工作。中国的保障性安居工程，包括城镇地区的保障性住房建设、棚户区改造以及农村地区的危房改造、游牧民定居工程。在城镇保障性安居工程方面，2008年至2012年新建各类保障性住房1800多万套，棚户区改造住房1200多万套。到2012年底，全国累计用实物方式解决了3100万户城镇家庭的住房困难，占城镇家庭总户数的12.5%左右。此外，全国还有近500万户城镇低收入住房困难家庭享受政府发放的廉租住房租赁补贴。2012年底，城镇和农村人均住房面积分别为32.9平方米和37.1平方米，分别比2007年增加2.8平方米和5.5平方米。为规范国有土地上房屋征收与补偿活动，维护公共利益，保障被征收房屋所有权人的合法权益，2011年1月21日，国务院颁布施行《国有土地上房屋征收与补偿条例》，同时废止了2001年6月13日国务院公布的《城市房屋拆迁管理条例》。
Urban and rural housing
conditions are further improved. Since 2009, focusing on the two major themes
of “ensuring that all the people enjoy the right to housing” and “obtaining
sustainable development of residential areas in the process of urbanization,”
the Chinese government, while working hard to satisfy the people’s diverse
demands for housing by promoting market-oriented reform of the urban housing
system and developing the commercial housing market, has also listed satisfying
the basic housing needs of people in poverty as an important content of the
basic public services to be provided by the government and carried out massive
affordable housing projects to enhance housing security. The affordable housing
projects in China cover the building of affordable housing in urban areas, the
rebuilding of shanty areas and rural housing in disrepair, and the building of
permanent housing for nomadic herdsmen. From 2008 to 2012 China built more than
18 million affordable suites of housing and rebuilt more than 12 million suites
in shanty areas. By the end of 2012 China had provided housing for 31 million
urban families, about 12.5 percent of the total urban households. In addition,
the government had provided low-rent housing subsidies for nearly five million
urban low-income families. At the end of 2012 the per-capita living space in
China’s urban and rural areas reached 32.9 square meters and 37.1 square
meters, respectively, up 2.8 square meters and 5.5 square meters compared with
2007. In order to regulate the expropriation of and compensation for buildings
on state-owned land, protect the legitimate rights of the owners of such
buildings as well as the public interest, the State Council promulgated and put
into effect the Regulations on the
Expropriation of and Compensation for Buildings on State-owned Land on
January 21, 2011, and simultaneously abolished the Regulations on the Dismantling of Urban Houses promulgated on June
13, 2001.
积极促进劳动者充分就业。经济的持续平稳增长为保障就业提供了条件。国家实施积极的就业政策，保障公民工作权。2008年至2012年，累计投入就业专项资金1973亿元，实现高校毕业生就业2800万人，城镇就业困难人员就业830万人。2012年，在经济增速趋缓的背景下，全年城镇新增就业1266万人，城镇失业人员再就业552万人，就业困难人员就业182万人，年末城镇登记失业率为4.1%，与上年末持平。全国农民工总量为26261万人，比上年增长3.9%。其中，外出农民工16336万人，增长3.0%；本地农民工9925万人，增长5.4%。国家积极促进农村劳动力就地就近转移就业，8.5万个村开展休闲农业与乡村旅游活动，带动2800万农民就业。2012年，城镇新安排残疾人就业32.9万人；城镇实际在业残疾人达到444.8万；1770.3万农村残疾人实现稳定就业。2011年，全国共组织开展各类职业培训约2200万人次。2012年，中央财政支出就业专项资金454亿元，用于支持落实相关促进就业的政策。2010-2012年，农业部依托“阳光工程”培训项目开展农业技能培训，中央财政累计安排培训补助资金33亿元，培训农民930万人次。
Proactive efforts are made to
boost employment. The steady and sustained economic growth has provided a
guarantee for employment. The state implements an active employment policy to
guarantee the citizens’ right to work. From 2008 to 2012 China invested a total
of 197.3 billion yuan in special employment funds, and helped 28 million
college graduates and 8.3 million people in urban areas with employment
difficulties find jobs. In 2012, against a backdrop of slowing economic growth,
12.66 million new job opportunities were created, 5.52 million laid-off workers
were reemployed, and 1.82 million people with employment difficulties found
jobs in urban areas of China. At the year’s end, the registered urban
unemployment rate was 4.1 percent, the same as the previous year. The total number
of rural migrant workers was 262.61 million in 2012, up 3.9 percent from the
previous year, among whom the number of rural workers employed away from their
homes reached 163.36 million and the number of local rural workers reached
99.25 million, representing increases of 3 percent and 5.4 percent over the
previous year, respectively. As China encourages farmers to find jobs in or
close to their hometowns, 85,000 villages launched recreational agriculture and
village tourism, providing jobs for 28 million farmers. In 2012 China helped an
additional 329,000 disabled people in urban areas to find jobs, raising the
total urban number of employed disabled people to 4.448 million; and in the
rural areas, 17.703 million disabled people got stable jobs. In 2011, 22
million people took part in vocational training courses of various types
provided by the government. In 2012 the central government appropriated 45.4
billion yuan in special employment funds to help implement policies intended to
boost employment. From 2010 to 2012, taking advantage of the training programs
of the “Sunlight Project,” the Ministry of Agriculture provided agricultural
skill training to 9.3 million farmers with 3.3 billion yuan of subsidy funds
from the central government.
保障劳动者各项基本权利。国家先后修改了劳动合同法、职业病防治法，制定了《女职工劳动保护特别规定》和《最高人民法院关于审理劳动争议案件适用法律若干问题的解释（三）》，保障劳动者各项权利。工会覆盖面进一步扩大。截至2012年9月，全国建立基层工会组织266.6万个，覆盖企事业机关单位616.6万个，与2009年相比分别增长34.9%和42.8%，其中非公经济组织工会组织185.5万个，较2009年增长47%。工会会员达2.8亿人，较2009年增长16.7%，其中非公经济组织会员达1.6亿人，较2009年增长16%。积极推进工资集体协商，保障获得公平报酬的权利。截至2012年9月，全国共签订工资专项集体合同122.8万份，覆盖企业308.2万家，覆盖职工1.5亿人，与2009年相比分别增长140%、241%和142%。2012年，全国各级劳动保障监察机构共查处违法案件41.2万件，督促用人单位与805.5万人次劳动者签订劳动合同。2012年，全国24个省份调整了最低工资标准，最低工资标准年均增幅22%。城镇非私营单位在岗职工平均工资由2007年的24932元增加到2011年的42452元，年均增长14.23%；城镇私营单位就业人员年平均工资由2009年的18199元增加到2011年的24556元，年均增长16.16%。
The basic rights of workers are
guaranteed. The state has amended the Labor
Contract Law and the Law on the Prevention and Treatment of Occupational
Diseases, and formulated the Special Rules on Protection of Female
Employees and Interpretations (III) of
the Supreme People’s Court of Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law
in the Trial of Labor Dispute Cases, so as to protect various rights of
workers. More trade unions have been established, involving more employees. By
the end of September 2012 the number of grassroots trade unions had increased
to 2.666 million, covering 6.166 million enterprises and public institutions,
up 34.9 percent and 42.8 percent over 2009, respectively, of which 1.855
million trade unions were set up in non-public economic organizations, an
increase of 47 percent over 2009. The number of trade union members nationwide
reached 280 million, among whom 160 million were from non-public economic
organizations, up 16.7 percent and 16 percent over 2009, respectively. China
actively promotes the collective negotiation system on wages to guarantee the
employees’ right to fair remuneration. By the end of September 2012 a total of
1.228 million special collective contracts had been signed throughout the
country, involving 3.082 million enterprises and 150 million employees, up 140
percent, 241 percent and 142 percent over 2009, respectively. In 2012 labor
security supervision organs at various levels investigated and handled 412,000
law-breach cases regarding labor security, and urged employers to sign labor
contracts with 8.055 million employees. In the same year 24 provinces
(autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government)
raised their local minimum wage standards, averaging a 22 percent annual hike.
The per-capita annual wage for employees in the urban non-private sector
increased from 24,932 yuan in 2007 to 42,452 yuan in 2011 and that for
employees in the urban private sector increased from 18,199 yuan in 2009 to
24,556 yuan in 2011, representing an average annual increase of 14.23 percent
and 16.16 percent, respectively.
保障人民生活和生产安全。中国重视在发展经济过程中保障人民生活和生产安全。近年来，国家努力构建完善的市政公用事业服务体系，城市人居环境质量不断提升。迄今，中国共21次获得联合国人居奖，有7个项目获得迪拜国际改善居住环境最佳范例奖，有30个城市获得中国人居环境奖，398个项目获得了中国人居环境范例奖。2011年，全国113个环保重点城市供水量水质达标率提高到90.6%。截至2012年底，饮用水卫生监测网络已经覆盖全部省份，共设立水质监测点近3万个。2010-2012年，全国累计解决了1.72亿农村居民和2300万农村学校师生的饮水安全问题。2008年以来，完成大中型和重点小型水库除险加固1.8万座。国家着力解决制约安全生产的突出问题和深层矛盾，安全生产法规政策体系不断完善。颁布了多项安全生产标准，严厉打击非法违法生产、经营、建设行为，深入治理违规违章行为，持续开展“安全生产年”活动，不断深化隐患排查治理。2012年，全国查处无证和证照不全从事生产经营、建设等各类非法违法行为144万起，违规违章行为305万起。平均每年培训高危行业主要负责人、安全管理人员和特种作业人员500多万人次，农民工1300万人次，煤矿班组长13万人。发布了1022项重大事故防治关键技术和355项新型安全实用产品，集中推广了100个安全动态监测监控项目。安全生产事故起数和死亡人数持续下降。各类生产安全事故起数、死亡人数2011年比2010年分别下降4.3%、5.1%，2012年比2011年又分别下降3.1%、4.7%；亿元GDP事故死亡率、工矿商贸十万就业人员事故死亡率、煤矿百万吨事故死亡率、交通万车事故死亡率，2011年比2010年分别下降13.9%、11.7%、24.7%和12.5%，2012年比2011年又分别下降18%、13%、34%和11%。
Protection is offered for people’s
safety in life and production. In China great importance is attached to the
people’s safety in life and production safety in the course of economic
development. China’s urban living environment is constantly improving as the
state has been working hard to build a well-established service system of urban
public works and utilities in recent years. China has won the UN-Habitat Scroll
of Honor Award 21 times. Seven Chinese projects have been awarded the Dubai
International Award for Best Practices to Improve the Living Environment, 30
cities have been awarded the China Habitat Environment Prize, and 398 projects
have been awarded the China Habitat Exemplary Environment prize. In 2011 some
90.6 percent of water supplies in China’s 113 key environmental-protection
cities were up to the state-set quality standards. By the end of 2012 China had
established more than 30,000 water-quality monitoring sites, extending the
monitoring network for drinking water safety to all provinces. From 2010 to
2012 China solved drinking water safety problems for a total of 172 million
rural residents and 23 million rural students and teachers. Since 2008 China
has completed risk-removing reinforcement for 18,000 large, medium-sized and
small key reservoirs. The state has endeavored to solve prominent issues and
deep-rooted problems that hamper production safety, and improved the
legislation and policies concerning safe production. It has issued production
safety standards, stringently cracked down on illegal production, operation and
construction, and corrected activities that breached relevant regulations.
China has continuously carried out the “Production Safety Year” movement to
ferret out and remove hidden dangers. In 2012 China investigated and dealt with
1.44 million cases of illegal production and construction that operate without
licenses or lacking some of the licenses, plus 3.05 million cases of regulation
violations. Every year China trained on average over five million safety
managers, special operation personnel and persons in charge of high-risk
industries, as well as 13 million migrant workers and 130,000 team leaders in
coal mines. In addition, China has unveiled 1,022 key technologies for the
prevention of major accidents and 355 new-type safe and practical products, and
promoted 100 safety dynamic monitoring projects. Industrial accidents and their
toll of life continued to go down. In 2011 the number of industrial accidents
and their toll of life were down by 4.3 percent and 5.1 percent as compared
with 2010, and further down by 3.1 percent and 4.7 percent in 2012 from that of
2011. The death rate per 100 million yuan GDP, death rate per 100,000 employees
