China earthquake: foreign media comments

Foreign media have been paying close attention to the latest earthquake developments. Many of them have praised the prompt relief efforts of the Chinese government following the disaster.

British newspaper The Times published an article which spoke highly of the prompt reactions Chinese leaders took after the quake struck Sichuan. It says Premier Wen Jiabao wasted no time in flying to the quake-stricken areas to direct rescue efforts, and China's state media has been reporting round-the-clock coverage of the latest developments.

China's state Xinhua News Agency is also providing continuous updates about the death toll and relief work.

In the United States, the Christian Science Monitor published an article praising China's fast reactions in quake-hit areas. It says China has established an efficient and effective disaster-response mechanism which clearly lays out the responsibilities of the government.

Major media outlets in New Zealand have also been reporting the latest developments of the quake aftermath intensively. Channel Three has devoted much of its broadcasts to footage of the disaster regions, and spoke highly of the relief efforts of the Chinese government.

Thw most ridiculous thing is those racists, looters, thieves, killers, rapists, war mongers, hypocrits in a few main west nations have been preaching "morality, human rights, fairness, etc." to peace-loving people in non-NATO/white nations! These barbarians have been shamelessly acting like some kind of moral gods! What kind of moral credibility do these barbarians have? Nothing!

The U.S. Administrative Govt should observe and learn from the Chinese emergency management system on how to respond to natural disasters. I would hate to see another Katrina type of response!
