It was stated that the main causes of the fire were welding workers involved in unlicensed work, and the building called the police only 30 minutes after the accident.

Ge Lianlong, the person responsible for the construction site of the anechoic chamber absorbent material, was arrested for failing to fulfill the main responsibility for fire safety. Construction contractor Wang Hai is suspected of issuing resource certificates for Li Yunde and others and will be investigated for legal liability.
