Officials in the southwestern metropolis of Chongqing conducted a safety check in August of all escalators made by Suzhou–based Shenlong Elevator Company, which made the one that claimed the life of a woman, Xiang Liujuan, at a shopping centre in Jingzhou, Hubei province in July 26.

Part of the flooring at the top of the escalator collapsed beneath feet, but Xiang was able to throw her two-year-old son to safety before she was swallowed by the machinery.

One week later, a cleaner at a shopping mall in Shanghai had his foot amputated after it became trapped in a escalator on August 1.

A toddler’s arms were caught in an escalator at a shopping mall in Chongqing for more than 40 minutes on September 15. The girl tripped and fell while on the escalator with her grandmother. Her hands and arms were caught in a gap at the side of the machine. The girl, aged three, was later freed and sustained minor injuries

All these accidents involving escalators and lifts raised safety concerns across the country.

Shenlong was investigated and found to have poor quality control.

I don't mind the chinks killing each other. I don't like it when they kill innocent people abroad with their tardiness, dishonesty, greed and disgusting habits.

China was a great country when Mao locked them up for decades. I wish it had stayed that way.

A 4-year-old boy has been killed after getting trapped under the handrail of an escalator at a metro station in Southwest China's Chongqing municipality on Thursday, People's Daily reported.

The subway operator who owns the escalator said a woman left both the boy and a three-year-old girl unattended when the incident happened. It was not known if the woman was their mother, the Chongqing Morning Post reports.
