 China begins nationwide fire safety inspections after Hong Kong blaze

The Ministry of Emergency Management said the inspection will focus on buildings undergoing exterior renovations and interior modifications.

The Hong Kong fire, which began on Wednesday, rapidly consumed seven of eight 32-story blocks at an apartment complex under renovation, highlighting risks linked to combustible scaffolding and foam insulation.
