		<description>To copy &quot;pugi&#039;s&quot; style:

Wright: Yes, people should point fingers to those who do wrong things and cause death of innocent children.  Yes, people must point fingers in the society too, as they do at home, when somebody does something wrong, corrective action must be taken, that is democracy, when people have voice and power.  Without people in the west pointing fingers, the former USSR and communist countries will still be alive and well, that is important to remember.  I wonder if &quot;pugi&quot; and others like her/him behave as they write here: when someone in the family does something wrong, you just turn a blind eye?  That is what the &quot;admirable government&quot; tries to do to its people: blind them. and it seems it works, with so many positive comments, here.</description>

		<description>From the accessible mass media, the various relieving measures in the wake of quake disaster being carried out by the Chinese government are generally admirable. Among others, the measure by using the anti-tank gun to remove the rocks blocked on the spillway of Quake Lakes is considered to be inappropriate, possibly dangerous. Under the shock of exploding the rocks, the landslides under such vulnerable geo-circumstances could be easily induced. Nevertheless, landslides did not occur, the exploding measures in the right wake of quake should be avoided to a maximum extent.   (from Taiwan)</description>

		<description>Right:  Chinese government for doing a brilliant job with after-quake disaster coordination of supplies and rescuers.  Not perfect, but then nothing ever is in a situation like this.  Still, they&#039;ve done a commendable job.

Wrong:  The Burmese junta and the Bush Administration for doing absolutely NOTHING to help people in a meaningful way after Hurricanes Katrina and Nargis.  It&#039;s rather sad that an American president can be compared to a third-world military dictatorship, but unfortunately the shoe fits in this case.  The handling of both of those disasters was incompetent on ALL levels, and it used to be that American presidents lived by the motto: &quot;The buck stops here&quot;.  These days, however, all you have to do is throw Brownie to the wolves and you skate free of any consequences for your own responsibilities in hiring the incompentent crony in the first place.

Right: The rescuers and local people in the quake zone, as well as average Chinese people throughout the country.  They have pulled together and done great things to help those stricken by this disaster.  The rescuers and military have done truly Herculean efforts to save lives and prevent more suffering.  Politics aside, individual heroism and good deeds should be lauded.

Wrong:   The local officials in throughout China who take bribes to look the other way in regards to sub-standard construction (especially in schools).  Corruption in China (and much of Asia) is a major problem, and it WILL need to be addressed if the Chinese people ever hope to improve the quality of life for ALL their citizens.  The fact that corrpution and shoddy construction exists in America too does not negate the misdeeds of these people.  There is a special place in Hell reserved for the makers of lead-painted toys, tainted dog food and shoddily-built schools.  Anyone who took a bribe or who OFFERED the bribe to allow those crappy schools to be built should be brought up on murder charges.

Right:  The people all over the world who have donated aid, money and supplies to the people suffering in China, Burma, and New Orleans (and now the Midwest too).

Wrong:  Some of you people who seem more interested in pointing fingers at each other rather than lending a hand.  Why not use that keyboard and mouse for something useful for a change?  Navigate over to a disaster relief website like the Red Cross and donate some money.</description>

		<description>well china its know for hidingmaway from public all the desasters and stuff like that,the only thing they display is like how many sheep did this ram mate or fake propaganda.,if they are that good on saving lives why they keep foreign media away.
weth respect of lost lives,they were only poor people of chinas rural areas so mabye they are better off now.
Look at Japnans quake 7.2 and only 6 people died.
china is rated 15 000 times below Japan.
well mr cheng still be proud to be chinese</description>

		<description>nina dear had you not been too defensive you would have  seen that i did not say it is a bad karma, in fact i said it is not but it may look that way to many. i understand a basic things about geology and the quake is nobody&#039;s fault, but 40 schools collapsing cannot be blamed on nature. since it&#039;s not the builders buried and killed inside those schools i guess we could say that is not karma too.</description>

		<description>how does one defend the undeniable?
&quot;schools collapsing not into blocks of floors but into broken little bricks&quot;
 when you can&#039;t cover up the bad things about your country just compare it to the worst of others,
 if you take the US out of the equation, say they have the exact same disaster, will that make &quot;collapsing deathtrap school&quot; right?
if the dalai had ordered killing protesters in the street will you cal tiananmen a party instead of massacre?
 continue defending your government and it will continue treating you as slaves</description>

		<description>ltbriar, I am very sorry for you: you accuse CNN of not publishing you, but look, you are here (more than you would be on a Chinese blog, controlled by your admirable government!)  You should apologize to CNN!

Next, you are so funny to try to justify the deaths of school children in China with the fact that somewhere, in Oklahoma, a building also collapsed... What kind of reasoning is that?  Plus, why you, the Chinese bloggers keep comparing your country with the USA?

On top of everything, please stop assuming: it is bad for your health.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a Chinese. I&#039;m just wondering why some people keep on picking up several of others&#039; words and then start to criticize? I&#039;m so sick. In general Chinese government has done a great job, which everyone can see. Under the circumstances of a natural disaster, every government can do something, only how well they have done matters. Speaking of Chinese government, it certainly doesn&#039;t have to do with &quot;admirable&quot; or not, but it is at least respectable. Just like every student has his/her potential in learning but not everyone can march to the top. So I applaud the Chinese government.</description>
