Xi Jinping tells regions to "draw profound lessons from this incident" after Qingdao shipyard fire

After a fire Thursday on a foreign-flagged bulk carrier docked for maintenance at a Qingdao shipyard in eastern China, at least 20 people were killed and five remained missing, state media reported. The vessel had 42 people aboard; 17 were evacuated, five with injuries, and the blaze was out by afternoon. President Xi Jinping directed authorities to expand rescue work and determine responsibility, and he also called for a broader nationwide safety response, according to the reports. The incident follows several deadly industrial accidents in China over the past year and concerns about how well safety rules are enforced.
