Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for \u0022all-out efforts\u0022 to treat those injured in a restaurant fire that broke out in Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province, underscoring the urgency of medical care and disaster response protocols. The incident occurred Tuesday in the northeast China industrial hub, with local authorities mobilizing firefighters and medical teams within minutes.
Xi emphasized the need to \u0022prioritize saving lives and minimize casualties\u0022 while coordinating emergency measures. Hospitals across Liaoyang have activated mass casualty protocols, with critical care specialists dispatched to treat severe burn victims. The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
This response aligns with China\u0027s strengthened public safety framework following recent industrial accidents. Analysts note that swift high-level interventions in such incidents signal Beijing\u0027s focus on social stability ahead of key economic meetings. Liaoning Province, a manufacturing heartland, has seen increased safety inspections across commercial establishments since 2023.
