The money will never benefit the poor.
ppl that do charity work will not even think about donation, but buy land and build schools and hospitals and not go thru the government or some charity organization.

Pollution in the Fraser or the Downtown East Side is NOTHING compared to the poverty and pollution in China...or lots of other places around the world, really.

China has come along way from before, look at the support and turn around for the Sichuan earthquake, I am confident that not many country can show so much immediate and adequate support to their citizens at such critical times.

fuck china, thats all i gotta say | Mugen, would you have the same POV within the next 10 years as huge corporations move to their next hot spot with low labor cost? for example Vietnam and Philippines?
In the next decade we will slowly see more "Made in China" labels replaced with "Made in Vietnam" and "Made in Philippines" labels. Big clothing companies such as Gap/Banana Republic/(old navy?) have done so.
I would be foolish to try to boycott Chinese goods, also clothing brands such as Roots are often made in China, packed, and shipped to Canada to replace the "made in China" label with "made in Canada" labels.

Anyways, serious props to the photographers for taking these photos. They may have shortened their lifespan too by visiting these villages just in order to make us realize the condition the poor chinese citizens live in.
I feel like donating some money to them.

I cannot expect any country can rebuild such heavily populated area like Sichuan and house every citizen. Hell we cant even even house all of our citizens here in Vancouver (unaffordable housing = increase in homelessness), but China and along with all other countries that helped out did show great efforts to plan for rebuild which we should acknowledge. We've come along way from what China was 50years ago.
Edit: Supports would be the search as rescue, mobilization of people out of the area, the temporary housing, supplies and staples for the victims, and the tireless effort from the military to find survivors.

In China, you can bribe anyone and get away with anything. I know because my uncle works in China and he bribes people all the time...
China has a lot of work to do in regards to human rights and public space. | So the China Government gets bribed so the companies can pollute all they want?
Any written source on this?

lol, holy fuck, maybe because of China, just maybe, alot of poor people like me are able to enjoy some of the stuff that were once only enjoyed by the rich ppl,
dude you gotta open ur eyes and travel around, hard to imagine ppl like you who has open access to internet (bias and unbias information) exist in Canada, have you ever been to any of those 3rd world countries and see whats really about?? or you just base your ideas on the ones around you and the ones u see on media?
sometimes I really wonder how can a person like you who has access to so much information and ability to travel around the world without much restrictions be so narrowly minded and arrogant.
Just a disgrace.

Just a disgrace. | u make it sound like you live in a world where racist never exists.
Everyone has their favorites and dislikes, and mine just happen to be mainlainders. The world you live in must be a none stereotype , no racist happy loving world right?

Your negative view (wherever you got it from originally) is so entrenched within your narrow mind, you are incapable of accepting facts that differs from your POV. If you take a chance and look at the cost and benefits of globalization (whats happening to India and China and many other countries) purely benefits out weighs the cost.
