On 12th August at around 1130 p.m., there was an explosion at a warehouse containing hazardous chemical materials owned by Tianjin Donjiang Port Rui Hai International Logistics Co (hereinafter called 8/12 blasts).

Anbound's scholars are of the view that it is worth noting that the nation is still lacking experience in handling the aftermath of the explosion of hazardous chemical materials.

China is one of the world’s largest chemical industries with chemical production zones in Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and Bohai Economic Rim.

The nation should strengthen and improve on the crisis management.
