		</div><p>The owner of a Chinese gypsum mine drowned after jumping into a well in an apparent suicide during rescue efforts for 17 workers still trapped two days after the mine collapsed and killed one person.</p>
<p>State media said Ma Congbo, president of Yurong Commerce and Trade Ltd, was assisting with rescue efforts when he jumped into a mine well and drowned.</p>
<p>Since the mine collapse on Friday, rescuers have pulled 11 workers to safety and recovered one body. Another 17 miners are yet to be found.</p>
<p>Gypsum is a soft sulphate mineral that is widely used in construction.</p>
<p>Chinese authorities have typically meted out harsh punishments, including jail sentences, to company management and local work safety officials following major work safety disasters.</p>
<p>Still, lack of regulatory oversight prevails, and cost-conscious management fails to pay enough heed to work safety.</p>
<p>The mine collapse came just days after a landslide from a man-made pile-up of construction waste in the southern city of Shenzhen killed one person and left another 75 missing and presumed dead.</p>
<p>Authorities have ruled that the landslide was not a geological disaster but a work safety incident, adding to China’s list of major man-made disasters in recent years.</p>
<p>In a rare move, Shenzhen’s senior officials, including its party chief and mayor, bowed deeply at a press conference as an apology.</p>
