Petition for China Earthquake

[Hyper]

I don't hear anything about the survivors or injured anymore. Maybe I'm just missing the stories, but I haven't heard much about US aid... Or aid from other countries.

When did the poster last update the petition? /too lazy to look

I would attempt to make an argument, if only you had more than the usual clichéd repertoire of 'human-rights blah blah'. And since when did the Tibetan issue become a crisis? Does your local media think that low of the Chinese government?

I must have struck a nerve? Haha, I apologize for my oh-so-limited views on the Chinese government. Maybe the relocation of people because of construction of the Olympic stadium in Beijing and the flooding of cities and homes along the Yangtze because of the Three Gorges Dam (Which looks pretty damn cool.) just left a bad taste in my mouth. I guess having a few million people lose their houses is small in comparison to how either of those would help the country, though. There's also the Darfur thing, which I forgot about until Lexaeus mentioned it. Having the Olympics in China is probably one of the best things that could have happened for the country, with all the improvements there have been, though.

I also apologize for using the word crisis without quotation marks. I was trying to use the word that many news headlines use to describe it. Oh well. Seems appropriate since there were riots going on in the country (Not currently, as far as I can tell though.), as well minor violence and much protest in other countries though, no?

And yes, the biased media where I live does seem think that. Reading biased articles on CNN probably doesn't help.
