    Rescued after being stuck in a mine but why did we only hear about this after 14 days?

    This is where I first heard about this. Today’s news is better than many mining disaster outcomes.

    I am not sure why you are pushing this, I have seen reports on it for quite a while.

    I watch Al Jazeera, which generally has good coverage from everywhere, and I didn't see it either, don't read the SCMP so didn't see their link. So I, too, was surprised when I heard how long ago it had happened- I guess other mine disasters (Chile) it was 24/7 coverage so a bit surprised when I saw it...

    China doesn't like bad news
    I guess internationally it dropped below the chaos in the USA.
