China to offer financial support to improve coal mine safety BEIJING: * China will offer financial support to improve safety at coal mines in 2019-2020, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said in a statement on Friday.

* That comes after several fatal accidents at coal mine in the country.

* The NDRC did not give the total amount of money it will put into the improvements, which are to include equipment upgrade and infrastructure construction.

* Money will only be given to new projects that have not finished being built or to projects that have not finished safety renovations.

* Coal mines facing a tough financial situation or actively enforcing capacity cuts will be given more financial support, the NDRC said.
