[edit] Quotes
"The deaths in Chinese coal mines are also unavoidable! Because the people of China are too poor... He Zuoxiu does not want people to die. But certain sacrifices are sometimes unavoidable during the process of development. You hope to have no sacrifices, but that is very unpractical."[4] (Note, the validity of this quote is questioned. [5])
