Eh, 120,000 out of 1,286,975,468 =~0.01% of the population.

And they all look the same anyway.

120.000 people usualy leave more then 1.2 million grieving relatives, not to mention friends etc.

But hey, they can just switch to some other Chinese for a brother, father or son, they all look the same anyway

Exactly. There's a surplus of Chinese men anyway and, since they all look the same, that makes for an easy switch from dead Chinese brother/father to new Chinese brother/father.

Ha. Good. The less Chinese nationals there are the better.

Actually, today we were commenting on how little media coverage there is about it. There's been quite a bit about the earthquake in Iran though, and the English channel is continuing its tradition of discussing primarily economics.

Yeah, that was my response to things like the World Trade Centre thing. Couple of thousand people died, but so what. People die every day.
