Dozens of Chinese officials are to be prosecuted or punished over fatal accidents in the workplace - where 100,000 Chinese die each year.
Works Minister Wang Wei announced that prosecutors would consider cases against 78 managers and officials, and 105 had already been disciplined. The move comes after inquiries into five incidents where 189 people died.

Work related incidents account for over 100,000 deaths every year in China. The government does not want to admit this for fear that it would be a bad publicity for China, as the summer olympics are to be held there in 2008.
