However, Wang Zhenyao, a former civil affairs official and now an academic at Beijing Normal University, says the Chinese government still falls short when it comes to protecting children's welfare.

　　"The Lankao fire is not an isolated incident. Without a functioning child welfare system, tragedies are likely to happen in other places too. In my opinion, the tragedy is partly a result of China's inadequate child welfare system."

　　Wang echoes child welfare laws and bureaus, long established in other countries, are still not on the agenda in China. They are a fundamental guarantee of child welfare and without them, child welfare is little more than a series of well-meant phrases.

　　Wang says the fire has sounded an alarm that we urgently need to mend the defects in our social security system and provide better care for orphaned and abandoned children.
