At about 23:00 on December 15, 2021, a criminal case occurred in Duxigou Village, Xixinzhuang Town, Xiaoyi City, Lüliang City, Shanxi Province, resulting in water leakage caused by illegal mining of coal resources, resulting in 22 people being trapped. After the accident, the Ministry of Emergency Management continued to dispatch and guide the rescue work, sent a working group to the scene overnight, and dispatched professional rescue forces and expert support.
Su Jie said that the current rise in illegal mining in the mining field is very strong. The Office of the State Council Safety Commission and the Ministry of Emergency Management attach great importance to the fact that on the second day after the water leakage accident caused by the theft of coal resources in Xiaoyi, Shanxi, a video conference was held to make special arrangements for severely cracking down on illegal mining. The State Mine Safety Supervision Bureau also took swift action to study, formulate and issue the "Circular on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal Mining of Mineral Resources and Serious Illegal Production and Construction in Mines." This "Circular" has made special arrangements from six aspects: compacting the responsibility for cracking down on illegal mining, perfecting and perfecting the coordination and linkage mechanism, intensifying the investigation and handling of illegal mining cases, severely cracking down on illegal mine violations, strengthening mine safety control, and strengthening social supervision. In addition, a number of working groups were dispatched, and a total of 16 working groups were dispatched according to preliminary statistics to carry out open investigation and covert visits to Jincheng, Jinzhong, and Linfen in Shanxi, where accidents occurred; at the same time, we drew lessons from the accidents and dispatched 14 working groups to some key mining areas and enterprises to supervise and enforce the law in different places.

"At present, it is indeed a critical period of peak coal winter, and the Ministry of Emergency Management and the State Mine Safety Supervision Bureau fully support and do a good job in safety and supply." Su Jie introduced that the State Mine Safety Supervision Bureau held a special video conference on the safe production of coal mines nationwide to strengthen the implementation of the responsibilities of local competent departments and coal mines.
As the Ministry of Emergency Response and the Mine Safety Supervision Bureau, three main measures are taken, first, resolutely support the overall situation of national service supply and supply, and support the release of high-quality production capacity. At present, from the perspective of safety, we have carefully reviewed and checked all the places reported in various places that are in line with safety, and 1677 places have been approved so far, and 207 places that meet the safety conditions have the potential to increase production. A total of 310 million tons/year of production capacity will be added through these coal mines. Second, resolutely hold the security line. For coal mines that are not safe, timely inspections, including guidance services, for some coal mines that cannot produce and achieve normal production, timely transfer the relevant situation of these coal mines to the inter-ministerial coordination mechanism for coal, electricity, oil and gas transportation to speed up the settlement procedures and increase production capacity. Third, in order to ensure safety and supply, supervise and urge the higher-level enterprises in the coal mines to send special working groups to keep an eye on the mines to ensure the safe production of coal mines and ensure that the people can live a warm winter.
