A fire at a factory in central China<\/a> killed 36 people on Monday, according to Chinese state-media, the latest in a string of fatal industrial accidents to hit the country in recent years.<\/p>\n

State broadcaster CCTV reported Tuesday that two people remain missing and two others were being treated for minor injuries following the blaze at the factory in Anyang, Henan province.<\/p>\n

Police have detained an unspecified number of suspects in connection with the blaze, which took firefighters nearly seven hours to put out, according to CCTV.<\/p>\n

China has seen a spate of industrial accidents<\/a> in recent years that have left scores dead, raising concerns about public safety.<\/p>\n

In 2015, at least 173 people died after a series of explosions at a chemical warehouse in the northern port city of Tianjin.<\/p>\n

Last October, at least three people were killed and more than 30 injured in a powerful explosion at a restaurant in the northeastern city of Shenyang. The gas explosion took place in a mixed-use residential and commercial building.<\/p>\n

And in June this year, at least one person was killed after a fire broke out at a petrochemical complex in Shanghai.<\/p>\n
