Zijin Mining accidents worthy of reflection

Lasted for many days of wet plant in Fujian Zijin Mining Copper finally sewage leakage accident preliminary findings and treatment results. Some of them exposed to changes in local economic development approach is worthwhile in-depth reflection difficult.

Zijin Mining production has existed for many years in environmental issues, and whenever pollution incidents, rectification, accountability, compensation is often deliberately obscured the voices of and avoid. According to Deputy Mayor Liang Shanghang eight students revealed that as early as September 2009 the relevant departments will check found that Zijin Mining copper there Hongdong hidden wet plant row, and demanded rectification, but until this serious incident has not changed. This people can not help asking: regulators such inaction, in the end because of what?

The reason is not complicated. According to the survey, Shanghang County is one of Zijin Mining's major shareholder, the county fiscal revenue 50% to 60% of Zijin Mining. Although officials reminded before, a single local source of finance is very risky, but unfortunately, did not convert the local government ton output as pollution, changes in the way of economic development and as a determination. In this "prospering or declining, a loss for both sides" in the interests of the community, environmental regulation, "arm" How can the county finance twist too, "thigh"?

Mining production is a kind of great impact on the ecological environment of the industry, if the local government mired in fiscal, GDP growth of temptation, and the ecological, social costs Caiqu short-sighted and ignore the attitude, the consequences must be disastrous, decade the rise of inter-Xun Su The Zijin Mining is just a typical type of development. In recent years, mining and smelting around the numerous outbreaks of heavy metals pollution incidents, has led to the local ecological environment and people related to the interests of serious damage, is it not justify radical changes in attitudes and behavior What wrong?

With Hakka "Mother River," said the Tingjiang, because Zijin Mining pollution incidents suffered great ecological damage. Demolition of the current incident to Environmental Protection Bureau, Economic Secretary for the two officials are accountable for processing, and director of mines and other three persons responsible for criminal detention, public security organs have been on file for investigation leakage. Hope that the incident be thoroughly investigated and hope that other parts of warning, the real plant as Zijin Mining propaganda slogan says, to do "business, employees, and social development."
