After a huge gas explosion in central China’s Shiyan city, Chinese leader Xi Jinping ordered the regime to bolster its rule, rather than ordering local officials to speed up the rescue of people still trapped beneath collapsed buildings.
The explosion happened around 6:40 a.m. on June 13, destroying a busy market in Zhangwan district of Shiyan city, Hubei province, as locals were shopping for the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival. As of June 14, at least 25 people had been killed and another 138 injured, with 37 in severe condition. Countless more are still buried underneath the rubble.
