"China moves quickly in quake zone"

Beijing - As the death toll from Monday's earthquake mounted, China threw its Army into rescue operations -- reflecting the priority that Beijing has increasingly put on efficient disaster relief.
The country appears to be well prepared for such an operation, says Roger Musson, a seismologist at the British Geological Survey in Edinburgh. "They are very good at putting together a disaster relief plan rather quickly."

More than 6,000 soldiers and militarized police were dispatched to the disaster area, carrying out standing orders in the event of an earthquake, a military spokesman said.
Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, who flew to Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan, less than two hours after the quake hit, told reporters en route that government leaders have "asked officials at all levels to be at the front line of the fighting the earthquake and lead the people in their rescue work."

Vast improvements in disaster relief

China's annual buffeting from typhoons has led the authorities to build an efficient disaster relief structure, according to Xue Lan, professor of public administration at Beijing's Tsinghua University.

"One dramatic improvement is in life-saving" says Professor Xue. "Death tolls have been falling in recent years even though typhoons have been getting fiercer. China is doing much better than it used to, and than other developing countries [are]."

As well as passing a special law on emergency management last year, setting out the government's responsibilities, China has built a regional network of emergency management offices, reporting to the State Council, which acts as the government's cabinet.

In a Category 1 disaster, as Monday's quake was declared, local officials are authorized to ignore normal chains of command and report directly to the top levels of government, according to Mao Shoulong, professor of public policy at Renmin University in Beijing.

In addition to the thousands of soldiers and police dispatched to the epicenter in Wenchuan county, emergency medical teams were sent from major cities on the east coast to the quake zone.

Their departure displayed a speed of official response that critics said had been lacking during China's last natural disaster, blizzards that gripped the south of the country last January.

shut the fuck up about karama, and the god's punishment. what a kind of God does your faith believe, such God who punish people through pain and death? such god casting fear to sending his message? that's not god. you are a deciple of devils. good luck to you when you meet your day, may god himself show mercy upon your very soul.

a cat and a dog are so inoccent too, my dear

[axia134567]

I remember, when many american were dead by cyclone, chinese made fun of victims. I remember, when the earthquake happend in japan, chinese laughed at victims. are you funny now? now,you china is doing tibetan genocide and turkistan holocaust.but many country help china. can you say "thank you"? (but ccp forbade reportage of foreign media) chinese are really really shameless.

[helwalker]

and i have also seen Lord's bless within the whole nation. people showing such kindness and selflessness to each other. through this catastrophic disaster, many heroic storys were born. people who scrafice their own life to save others. they are the living saints who holds jesus christ within. THAT is the God's messege, messege through love and kindness, messege through selflessness sacrifice.

[helwalker]

omg, how can you even think there will be such karma like this? a karma which cause suffering to inoccent people? if there is something to do with your faith, it would be a devil's work. no such God would punish his own people like this.

[helwalker]

and let me tell you one thing, people over here are acctrully helping each other. i have never seen at anywhere whcih people show such kindness and friendship to each other. everyone i know here from 12 years old kids to 80 years old men, donate either blood or money. i am an american who taking college in china. and i wintness all those with my own eyes. i have faith in chinese people, they will live through this disater, and they will live better tomorrow.

[chinahumantrash]

This is punishment for organ harvesting and forced abortions in China. More is on the way from God if you do not stop.

[TweetingMonkey]

I wish I'll live long enough to see what KARMA would bring onto these ignorant white trash who don't even know what really happen outside their trailers but pretend they knew everything. We, Chinese, must be graceful for all these victims who sacrified their lifes to unite all chinese over the world. Our spirits shouldn't be shaken weak by these white hypocrites who think themselves r saints, but nothing than the real evils who performed evil acts onto the innocent people in the war zone.
