Less people have died in office shootings, etc that got more coverage. If it turns out to be a story of violations of safety laws, etc it is indeed a story. Situations like this happen nearly every week in China and they barely get reported. I think when working conditions are shown to be on level with China then it is worth covering regardless of the colour of the people involved.
Anyway..baby Jessica, the russian subs,the last mine trapping, etc show that people stuck in places essentially waiting to die is a story of great human interest. Therefore, it gets covered.
