They did such in the past, but it seems that they have dropped that line - guess that it's just a cold war kneejerk from RahOriginally posted by Colon™

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

When the authorithies screwed up... Maybe they should have regulated earthquakes like they regulate reincarnations, but other than that there isn't much they can be blamed for.Originally posted by BlackCat

Iirc Chernobyl was initially reported as a fart of particularly potent vehemence.
Truly sad bit of timing for this quake, everyone was at work, kids in school.

Unless there's any indication gov't incompetence has been exacerbating the situation, there's no reason at all to assume they'd downplay casualties.

Let me go on record for not saying that, Colon.
What I said, was that there was no success in a communist country.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Not true Sloww! The wall across Germany effectively stopped the massive ongoing flight of the population to freedom in the West. By making the place a large prison the communists successfully got people to stay. Many died trying to escape but the rest just gave up all hope. Communism can take great pride in that.

Having spent some quality time there I don't tend to forget. Besides, gotta give credit where credit is due.

We traveled fairly extensively right at the epicenter of this earthquake when we were in China last summer. It’s on the road from Chengdu to the Panda Preserve at Wolong. (Pictures from better times at the Wolong Wildlife Preserve can be found
here and here).
IIRC, most people in the area are members of the Qiang ethnic group and make their marginal living as farmers. Its really hard to imagine that so many of these people that we saw last summer are now dead. The area is pretty rugged and it is difficult to get around. The area under this bridge is now flooded by a large hydroelectric dam.Attached FilesLast edited by Adam Smith; May 13, 2008, 00:24.Old posters never die.

This part of Sichuan Province is not very densely populated, except for the villages that cling to the hillsides. The main road runs in a series of switchbacks down to the river crossing below.Attached FilesOld posters never die.
