Reference news, September 7 West media said, many of the village, Shanxi province, China because of excessive mining and sinking, the scene as if an earthquake ravaging General. Mottled village roads, is full of potholes, cracks is found in many homes, including the school.

Spain the world newspaper reported on September 5, a 50-year old local villager said in an interview: "one day I watch house walls cracked in a large joint. "In 2013 and neighbors in this village received an emergency notice from the Government, have to pack valuables fled their ancestral villages. Almost all the villagers are aware: the village settlement is caused by excessive coal mining.

The villager said, coal mining enterprises have long known that land might collapse, and before they discussed compensation issues, ultimately paid 130,000 yuan (RMB, same below). When asked why she does not reject compensation claim when, villagers say is overwhelming, because it is the Government that they were powerless, and this money is enough for them to rebuild their homes in other places.

Reported that the large settlement is the village of Shanxi province in China at any cost in order to accelerate the development of an example. China's rapid economic development over the years has been inseparable from the coal. In the context of the world, China not only is coal country, was the first power consumption.

Shanxi in decades have always been key areas of China's coal industry. Experts point out that Shanxi coal mining industry's once thriving with nearly 10,000 mines, including the State-owned coal mines and private coal mine. Now in Shanxi province on the road from trucks full of coal. A haze in the sky here, the choking smell in the air, these are the consequences of excessive mining of coal.

Some Shanxi villages have become ghost towns, houses and school buildings in ruins. One expert estimates, about 1900, Shanxi affected villages, home to 2.2 million of the villagers. Village crumbling once dependent on coal eating scene, reflecting the decline in China's coal industry. Now that coal prices from highs of RMB 2000 per tonne fell 400 Yuan per ton.

Overexploitation and slowing overall economic growth in China's coal industry needs reform, reform may lead to a large number of miners out of work. Coal industry adjustment may affect up to 1.8 million workers in the coal and steel industries. According to official estimates, this figure could be two industries accounted for 15% of the total work force.

Reports that this year alone, the National Energy Council would shut down thousands of coal mines in the country, and this number will continue to grow in the coming years. According to statistics, China has more than 70% of coal enterprises have suffered losses. There are no payment of wages to employees in coal enterprises, but did not fire them because to do so would increase the unemployment rate. Now these workers lost their source of income and had to other industries such as the transportation industry. Some towns have mining among the hundred counties, but now it's all over.

The coal boom are gone, but left to the people is a lot of legacy. Abandoned tunnels criss-cross became the lead cause of the subsidence. Mining in the past, some walls of the building have become crooked, as if made of used plastic in General. Some area residents still hope for repairing their homes. People used large stakes prop up crumbling housing, but on the ground there's nothing sudden pothole.

A 65-year old local villager told the media that they often heard a loud noise, bricks fell from overhead from time to time. Starting from a few years ago, here lies the crater on the ground, villagers are worried about the village suddenly sank. Although some villagers still hold on to their homes, but more people are choosing to leave. In some areas, the Government did not explicitly tell the villagers must leave the village. The villagers said, the rich had left, only sick and still stay in the local area.

Reported that the rich mineral deposits in the past has now become the Government's fiscal problems. The Shanxi provincial Government had to face a hefty bill: pollution caused losses estimated as high as 77 billion yuan. The local Government was forced to make an emergency plan and speed up the withdrawal of some 655,000 people, this means that the expenditure of at least 15.8 billion yuan.

Experts estimate that approximately 500 people in the last 10 years because of subsidence and House collapse and maimed. Official data show that excessive mining about 26,000 cases of geological disasters caused by 2014, approximately 10,000 square kilometers of the area affected. Experts believe that the disaster in Shanxi province affected range and seriousness are unprecedented. Many villages have not been serious subsidence took place with empty.

In fact, the coal crisis have affected many mining areas of the country. Liaoning Fushun was China's "coal capital", most parts of the city have faced risks of geological disasters. Often appears in the Chinese social networking site news of the mine collapsed. Is the son of an old miner died in a cave-in accident a few years ago. When asked why he didn't leave when he sighs: "I'm old, where not to go. ”

外媒：山西过度采煤 大批村庄下陷变“鬼村”|山西|过度开采_新闻资讯

　　参考消息网9月7日报道 西媒称，中国山西省的很多村庄因为过度采矿而出现下沉，那场面仿佛遭遇地震肆虐一般。村里的路面斑斑驳驳，满是坑洞，包括学校在内的很多房屋都出现了裂痕。

　　据西班牙《世界报》9月5日报道，一名50岁的当地村民在接受采访时表示：“一天我眼睁睁地看着屋里的墙面裂开一条大缝。”2013年这名村名和邻居们收到政府的紧急通知，不得不收拾细软逃离了祖祖辈辈居住的村庄。几乎所有村民都心知肚明：村庄下陷是过度开采煤矿造成的。

　　这名村民表示，煤矿企业早就知道地面可能塌陷，之前就和他们商量过赔偿事宜，最终向每人支付了13万元（人民币，下同）。当被问到为什么不拒绝赔偿而要求停工时，村民表示很无奈，因为这是政府行为，他们无能为力，而且这笔钱也足够他们在其他地方重建家园了。

　　报道称，山西大量村庄出现下陷是中国为了加快发展而不惜任何代价的一个例证。多年来中国经济的飞速发展一直离不开煤炭。在世界范围内，中国不但是煤炭开采量第一大国，也是消费量第一大国。

　　山西数十年来一直都是中国煤炭工业的重要地区。专家指出，山西在采煤业最兴盛时期曾拥有将近1万个煤矿，其中包括国有煤矿和私人煤矿。如今在山西的道路上依然来往着装满煤炭的大卡车。在这里天空中一片雾霾，空气里弥漫着呛人的气味，这些都是过度开采煤炭的后果。

　　如今有些山西村庄已经变成鬼村，房屋和校舍变成了一片废墟。一位专家估计，山西大约有1900个受到影响的村庄，住着220万村民。曾经依赖煤炭吃饭的村庄呈现出破败景象，也反映出中国煤炭产业的下滑。如今煤炭价格已经从每吨2000元人民币的高点跌倒每吨400元人民币。

　　过度开采和中国经济整体增速放缓导致煤炭产业亟需改革，而改革可能导致大量矿工失业。煤炭产业的调整可能影响到180万煤炭和钢铁产业的工人。据官方估计，这个数字可能占到两个产业劳动力总数的15%。

　　报道称，仅在今年，中国国家能源局就计划在全国关停上千个煤矿，未来数年这个数字还将继续增长。因为据统计，中国有70%以上的煤炭企业都出现了亏损。有些煤炭企业不再给一些员工发放工资，但并没有解雇他们，因为这么做会增加失业率。现在这些工人失去了收入来源，不得不从事运输业等其他行业。有些乡镇曾因采矿跻身于全国百强县，但如今一切都结束了。

　　煤炭业的繁荣一去不复返，但留给山西人的却是无穷的遗患。纵横交错的废弃矿道成了导致地面下陷的元凶。在过去的矿区，有些建筑物的墙面已经变得弯弯曲曲，仿佛使用塑料制成一般。有些地区的居民依然对修复家园抱有希望。人们用粗大木桩支撑起摇摇欲坠的房屋，但却对地面上突然出现的坑洞却无能为力。

　　一位65岁的当地村民对媒体表示，他们经常能够听到巨响，砖头不时地从头顶上掉下来。从数年前开始，这里的地面就出现了坑洞，村民们都担心村子会一下子沉下去。虽然有些村民依然坚守着家园，但更多人选择离开。在某些地区，政府并没有明确告诉村民是否必须离开村庄。那位村民表示，有钱人已经离开了，只有老弱病残还留在当地。

　　报道称，过去的富饶矿藏如今变成了政府的财政难题。山西省政府不得不面对着一份高额账单：环境污染造成的损失预计高达770亿元。当地政府被迫制定一份紧急计划，加快撤离大约65.5万居民，这意味着至少158亿元的开支。

　　专家估计，最近10年来大约有500人因地面下陷和房屋倒塌致死致残。官方数据显示，到2014年过度采矿大约造成2.6万起地质灾害，大约1万平方公里的面积受到影响。专家认为，山西省遭遇的灾害在影响范围和严重性上都是史无前例的。很多村庄在尚未清空的情况下就发生了严重的下陷。

　　实际上，煤炭危机已经影响到全国很多矿区。辽宁抚顺曾经是中国的“煤炭之都”，如今市内也有大部分地区面临着地质灾害的风险。在中国的社交网站上经常出现矿区房屋倒塌的消息。一位老矿工的儿子就是在几年前的一次塌方事故中去世的。当媒体问到他为什么不离开的时候，他叹息道：“我已经老了，哪里也不去了。”
