Summary
A horrific fire at a shoe factory in China’s “shoe capital” killed at least 28 people, with 239 workers inside when the blaze erupted. The inferno, fueled by flammable materials and blocked stairwells, spread rapidly, trapping workers and hampering rescues. President Xi Jinping has demanded a full investigation and accountability, as this tragedy follows a pattern of deadly factory accidents. Officials have arrested key personnel and frozen company assets. The incident underscores the urgent need for safety reforms in China’s massive manufacturing hubs, where workers risk their lives daily to feed their families.
