An additional first-hand account of the Sichuan quake from a English-language Chengdu blogger, KMM. "But even though I’m convinced staying in the fifth floor of my apartment is perfectly safe, I’ve moved back outside, sitting in the grass, because damn it when the floor keeps moving under your feet, it doesn’t matter how much you know your safe, you still feel you better get out as fast as possible."
Hey folks, I've thrown together a badge and accompanying post for any bloggers or webmasters that wish to add a way for their visitors to get information on how to donate to the China quake relief funds.
A strong earthquake shook a hilly southwestern Chinese region near the border with Laos early Sunday, killing at least three people, including a child who was crushed by debris.
Hundreds of people were injured and 120,000 people were forced from their homes, state media reported.
A 3-year-old girl in Beichuan, one of the counties that suffered the most from Monday's earthquake in southwest China's Sichuan Province, has magically survived under the dead bodies of her parents. Song Xinyi's legs were seriously injured under the weight of her parents and many layers of rubble, but she could still talk when rescuers pulled her out after more than 40 hours. She explained the 3 Chinese characters that made up her name, and t
Green Bamboo gives an eyewitness account of the Wenchuan earthquake, saying that Chengdu seems to be intact.
The Shanghaiist posted that the Chinese Red Cross is taking donations and constantly updating the blog with developments. It is also getting thoroughly hammered right now, so I wanted to post this information for all readers. Red cross info plus the the last six hours’ worth from there.
Who or what should be targeted by Chinese netizens looking to vent their anger and frustration over the huge loss of human life in Sichuan? May I recommend the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas?
"Multinational conglomerates Google, Microsoft and Yahoo are regularly met with “cannot display” time-out errors.
Conversely, China’s e-commerce giants just don’t understand what all the fuss is about."
Harrowing stories from the frontline of the earthquake disaster zone.
The New York Times (via CDT) describes how many people in China have been incensed by jubilant celebrations of the Olympics Torch relay in Fujian Province.
It seems rather futile blogging about other issues in light of the fact that thousands of people still left buried by the Earthquake in Sichuan. The death toll now exceeds 12,000 and is sure to increase. The Olympics seem relatively trivial.
Since the Chinese government’s recent self-appointment as the world’s guardians of journalistic integrity, symbolised by its ludicrously overstated (not to mention hypocritical) ‘western bias’ narrative, there has been a great sense of national unity among Chinese people both at home and abroad.
Tips include: Prepare mentally. “Many times, injuries or death occur which could have been prevented due to panic,” eHow says. Experts are mixed over whether you should scream. Screaming could get you some help, but it also could be construed as panic.
I had a post on private equity ready to go, but I can’t bring myself to do it. This Sichuan quake, while it doesn’t compare to the Myanmar cyclone in terms of sheer cost of human life, has been on my mind too much. Here are more ways for you to help.
A new report out by Canadian group Probe International is questioning whether the Sichuan quake may be the result of the filling of the Three Gorges Dam. Wait, before you shake your head at the "Western bias" - they've Chinese scientists on this too. Since initially filling the dam there has been a couple thousand micro-quakes, and that it rests on a couple fault lines makes one have to at least consider there might be consequences of some so
