"Relief supplies reach China’s quake zone" by Associated Press | April 19, 2010
JIEGU, China — China said yesterday that a flood of badly needed aid had finally reached this quake-shattered town, including enough food and shelter for tens of thousands of suddenly homeless, though some complained chaotic distribution was preventing it from reaching everyone in need.
The surge in aid coincided with the arrival of President Hu Jintao, who cut short an official trip to South America to deal with the disaster in this remote Tibetan region, where residents have frequently chafed under Chinese rule. The quake Wednesday killed 1,706 people and injured 12,128.
The president’s carefully scripted trip included visits with displaced families living in tents and rescue teams as they dug through debris looking for the 256 still missing. He promised that the Communist Party and the government was doing everything possible to help the mostly Tibetan quake victims.
I'm tired of MSM pot hollering kettle, I don't care who it is.
Relief workers had warned that Jiegu was teetering on the edge of unrest, with people fighting over tents and other limited goods. Bottlenecks on the winding mountain road that links Jiegu to the provincial capital of Xining were blamed for the earlier trickle of supplies.
Yeah, good thing that never happens here in Ameri.... oh, never mind.

"Quake reignites fears over schools; Chinese officials hadn’t reinforced Tibet buildings" by Cara Anna, Associated Press | April 21, 2010
Actually, that is perfect since my MSM specializes in reigniting fears (real or imagined) wherever they are found.
BEIJING — Last week’s earthquake in western China destroyed or critically damaged more than two-thirds of the schools at the center of the disaster, renewing fears of substandard construction two years after a larger quake killed thousands of students....
Some people, including students who survived last week’s quake in Yushu County, have angrily asked why schools in the remote Tibetan community hadn’t been fixed. The quake’s overall death toll rose to 2,064 yesterday.
I didn't think you could get angry in China.
Doesn't government slap you to the wall?
“If every year half the money spent on cars, eating, drinking, and traveling overseas was saved and spent on strengthening rural buildings, in a single year the buildings of millions of people could be made more earthquake-proof,’’ a former top engineer for the China Earthquake Administration, Wang Zifa, wrote on his blog Saturday in a dig at officials’ spending....
And if we didn't spend trillions on banks, wars, and Israel, America.....
Looks like the Globe discovered a blog, too, pfft!
They have blogs in China after Google left?
The image of collapsed schools and the phrase “tofu construction’’ were seared into China’s memory two years ago, when more than 5,000 students were killed in a massive earthquake in the southwestern province of Sichuan. The deaths deeply touched Chinese, many of whom can only have one child under government policy.
The central government has tried to respond to the problem with its three-year inspection and strengthening plan, but one international quake engineering specialist warned that such work could take far longer.
Another quake-prone area, California, passed a law in 1933 to make schools quake-proof, and work still hasn’t finished, said Tom Tobin, president-elect of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute based there.
Pay attention to California this month.
If an earthquake hits -- and it may very well given the shifting of the earth around the Rim of Fire this past year -- then we are all in for one hell of a wild ride!
More than the earth will be cracking open; truths will be revealing themselves.
At least 103 students were killed last week, the Qinghai provincial government has said. In Yushu County, 26 percent of the schools collapsed.
The sad state of the area’s schools was known before the quake. One of China’s best-known philanthropists donated dozens of schools to the region in recent years after being moved by a TV show about the area.
Of the 11 schools Chen Guangbiao donated in Yushu County, all are safe, the director of the county education bureau, Ma La, said....
Less than three weeks after Lu Xin, the education ministry official leading the three-year plan, spoke — and just days before the earthquake — the Qinghai provincial government set up a special working group to accelerate funding for strengthening schools in Tibetan areas.
Can't be making the Chinese look too good, what's the matter with ya?!!
"Monks’ rescues played down; China orders them out of quake zone" by Alexa Olesen, Associated Press | April 22, 2010
BEIJING — Earthquake survivors say it was the Tibetan monks who helped first, bringing food, pitching tents, and digging through rubble after disaster hit far Western China a week ago, killing thousands.
Now those Buddhist monks are being pushed out of the disaster area and off of state media — apparently sidelined by Beijing’s unease with their heroism and influence.
We have one, two, world; however, AmeriKa's state-run media is run by the state of Israel.
Monasteries were given orders the last two days to recall their monks.
Maybe the Vatican could recall their priests.
Amid hours of coverage for China’s national day of mourning yesterday, no monks were visible in the official proceedings — a jarring omission in light of their contributions to the weeklong rescue and relief effort. The April 14 quake killed 2,064 people and injured more than 12,000.
I so tired of this lying garbage MSM here throwing stones.
How is that organ ring trial in New Jersey going?
Tsebtrim, an ethnic Tibetan who works as a translator in Yushu, the county in Qinghai province hit hardest, was among thousands left homeless. He recalls heading to the horse racing grounds with hundreds of others who heard it would be a safe place if the local dam broke.
“There were these monks from Sichuan’s Ganzi who had put up all these tents, 100 tents, in just a couple of hours, and they provided drinks and food,’’ said Tsebtrim, 31, who like many Tibetans goes by just one name. “That night, a lot of people didn’t have a place to stay so I am really glad those monks showed up.’’
In the days that followed, Tsebtrim saw monks digging through rubble for survivors and bodies, first alone and then with the help of Chinese soldiers. He also saw them handing out food and medicine....
This week, Chinese military officials said nearly all the roughly 12,000 soldiers who rushed to the quake area struggled with altitude sickness, and many had trouble communicating with Tibetan survivors. Tibetan-speaking monks, many of whom live in high-altitude areas, did not have those problems....
Not that it matters because I'm not going to get all "conspiratorial" on you; however, this would certainly impact China's ability to assist Iran in the event of an USraeli attack, right?
Same reason Russia is experiencing destabilization along its southern frontiers. It's the Grand Game or whatever the hell they call it. You decide for yourself whether you hear HAARP strings or not.
Yet state-run broadcasters have given scant attention to their efforts, spotlighting instead the hard work of the military and the People’s Armed Police.
Monks also live in the quake zone, though they were not shown in media coverage yesterday.
I really don't even care anymore, readers. I'm sure the Chinese are doing the best they can and they don't need to be RUN DOWN by an enemy-creating, supremacist screed of Zionism from the agenda-pushing Amerikan MSM.
Robbie Barnett, director of the modern Tibetan studies program at Columbia University, said the monks’ contributions pose a dilemma for the communist leadership, which distrusts the Buddhist clergy because of their loyalty to the Dalai Lama....
Oh, the same one who works for the CIA?
Monasteries are kept under tight control by Communist Party authorities, who routinely order political reeducation campaigns for the monks. The tensions have occasionally erupted in violence.
We just have newspapers and television here in AmeriKa.
“China has never faced this situation before, where the monks it has demonized for 15 years as potential enemies of the state turn out to be energetic contributors to social construction and community-building — the same role that the party has always claimed for itself,’’ Barnett said in an e-mail.
Our Zionist MSM does it to Muslims over here.
“Perhaps that’s why the work of the monks has been featured very little, if at all’’ on China Central Television, he said.
The AmeriKan MSM's version of Palestinians.
That's the end of that, though.
Next agenda to be pushed, please!
"Teacher stabs 16 at school in China, police say" by Associated Press | April 29, 2010
GUANGZHOU, China — A teacher wielding a knife broke into a primary school in southern China and stabbed 15 pupils and a teacher yesterday, the same day another school attacker was executed for killing eight children last month, police and state media reported....
Related: Sticking It to China
I will mention one unusual anomaly after posting this series of articles, readers.
China has witnessed a series of school attacks in recent years, most blamed on people with grudges or suffering from mental illness, leading to calls for improved security.

"Man stabs 29 children in China; Five in another school hurt in separate attack" by Christopher Bodeen, Associated Press | April 30, 2010
TAIXING, China — In separate attacks on students in eastern China, a knife-wielding man slashed 29 children, two teachers, and a security guard yesterday and a man hurt five children and killed himself today.
Specialists said the wave of school attacks is occurring amid poor care for the mentally unstable and growing feelings of social injustice in the fast-changing country.
All the students injured in yesterday’s attack were 4 or 5 years old. The attack at Zhongxin Kindergarten left five students badly injured, two of them in critical condition, in the eastern city of Taixing, said Zhu Guiming, an official with the municipal propaganda department.
The official Xinhua News Agency identified the accused as Xu Yuyuan, a 47-year-old unemployed man. He pushed his way into the class with an 8-inch knife after teachers and a guard failed to stop him, the news agency reported.
No motive was given. Xu, the suspect in yesterday’s attack, had been a salesman in a local insurance company until he was fired in 2001. He has been jobless since then, Xinhua said.
A witness attack said people outside heard screams coming from the three-story building and rushed inside.
“It was too horrible to imagine. I saw blood everywhere, and kids bleeding from their heads,’’ a visibly shaken Hu Tao said hours later.
Today, Xinhua reported that a man killed himself after attacking five children at another kindergarten in eastern China. The unidentified man poured gasoline over his body and set himself on fire while holding two children. Xinhua said teachers pulled the children away, and none of the children’s injuries were life-threatening in the attack in Jinan city in Shandong Province. It was the third such attack in as many days.
Most of the recent school invasions have been blamed on people with personal grudges or suffering from mental illness, leading to calls for improved security.
Accounts in China’s state-owned media have glossed over motives and largely shied away from why schools have so often been targets. Yet specialists say outbursts against the defenseless are frequently due to social pressures.
An avowedly egalitarian society only a generation ago, China’s headlong rush to prosperity has sharpened differences between haves and have-nots, and the public health system has atrophied even as pressures grew.
China probably has about 173 million adults with mental health disorders, and 158 million of them have never had professional help, according to a mental health survey in four provinces jointly done by Chinese and US doctors that was published in the medical journal The Lancet in June....
Yeah, but if Lancet reports over a million Iraqis dead they are torn to shreds.
Zhou Xiaozheng, a sociology professor at Renmin University in Beijing, said, such sensational, violent acts often draw copycats.
“Normally, with these kind of violent events we hope the media won’t blow them up too much, because that tends to make it spread,’’ Zhou said....
This is the WORLD LEAD for the DAY!
That attack occurred the same day a man was executed for stabbing eight children to death outside their elementary school last month in the southeastern city of Nanping.
At his trial, Zheng Minsheng, 42, said he killed because he was jilted by a woman and treated badly by her wealthy family....
Good thing stuff like that never happens here, AmeriKa.

"China tightens school security; Government responds to 3d recent attack" by Tini Tran, Associated Press | May 1, 2010
BEIJING — Armed police will patrol schools in China’s capital after a farmer attacked kindergarten students with a hammer, then burned himself to death yesterday in the third classroom assault in as many days.
The government ordered schools across the country to tighten security, and anxious parents of students targeted in an earlier attack marched in protest last night, demanding a better government response to the crisis....
Protests? In China? No way!
Chinese schools have had five such attacks in just over a month — unusual in a country where extreme violence is comparatively rare and strict controls keep most people from owning guns. Sociologists suspect the rampages — usually by lone male attackers — could be copycat actions.
State media reports have largely shied away from speculating why students have been targets. Specialists say outbursts against defenseless children can be caused by social pressures in a rapidly changing society.
That doesn't explain it at all.
The attacks have been particularly shocking because most urban families in China have only one child due to government population control policies.
“Children are the ones people care about the most, and they are the most innocent,’’ said Ma Ai, a sociology professor at the China University of Political Sciences and Law in Beijing.

Targeting children is “beyond the bottom line of human morals,’’ he said.
That's why I'm thinking MK Ultra or Bluebird.
State media either ignored or played down yesterday’s attack.
Honestly, readers, I have had it with the hypocritical China-bashing by the Zionist state media of AmeriKa. No wonder the newspapers are cratering.
It was not mentioned on the evening news in the eastern province of Shandong, where it occurred, and Xinhua did not release a Chinese-language story on its website.

"Huge N.J. corruption case trial set to open" by Associated Press | January 25, 2010
NEWARK - The first trial in New Jersey’s largest-ever corruption investigation is set to begin in a federal courthouse in Newark this week.

Boston Globe Censorship: Cutting Out a Kidney
The public finally will get to see Solomon Dwek in action: a government cooperator who secretly recorded hours of meetings at restaurants, diners, and parking lots over two years, showing religious leaders, politicians, and municipal employees in various states of alleged wrongdoing.It has been six months since the mammoth corruption inquiry resulted in 44 arrests. The dramatic July 23 takedown included early-morning raids from synagogues to city halls and allegations of bribes distributed in cash-stuffed cereal boxes. Prosecutors say the money-laundering operations were so large they were referred to as laundromats.
It also produced one of the more memorable perp walks in New Jersey’s history: Elderly rabbis in long black coats, sweat-suited municipal employees, and assorted bleary-eyed elected officials paraded in handcuffs off a fleet of buses for processing at FBI headquarters.
And it just as quickly faded from the MSM memory, notice that?
Among the defendants: Three mayors, two state assemblymen, and other public officials charged with corruption, prominent rabbis from Brooklyn and Deal, N.J. charged with money laundering, and in one case, a man charged with brokering the sale of a human kidney.
Like an alcoholic always says, "I just had one."
Ten have pleaded guilty, and the rest are awaiting trial. But the man everyone wants to hear is Dwek, the cooperating witness and son of a prominent rabbi that the US government is hanging almost its entire case on.
So reports the concealing Zionist MSM, anyhow.

"City in China goes on defense after knife attack at school" by Ken Teh, Associated Press | May 2, 2010
TAIXING, China — A Chinese city shaken by one of three back-to-back attacks on schools stepped up security and urged its citizens to “trust the government’’ yesterday, a day after parents of the injured children protested outside a local hospital.
Maybe they can, but we never will again here in AmeriKa.
The Gulf cinched it. This government is an abysmal failure.
A dozen police and security guards patrolled the lobby of the Taixing city People’s Hospital the morning after marching parents chanted “We want the truth,’’ asked to see their children, and demanded a better government response to the crisis. Photos and video posted online showed hundreds of people massed outside the hospital Friday night, pushing so hard to get in that they shattered a glass door....
I thought the Chinese were docile and oppressed.

"China tightens school security after attacks" by Associated Press | May 3, 2010
BEIJING — Chinese authorities have ordered school security to be tightened nationwide, part of the government’s effort to assert control and calm public fears after three last week that left a few dozen children injured.
The measures will start tomorrow, when schools reopen after a three-day public holiday....
The latest attack occurred Friday, when a farmer used a motorcycle to break down the gate of a primary school in the eastern city of Weifang and struck five students with a hammer. He then poured gasoline on himself and set himself ablaze, reports said.
The Ministry of Public Security issued an emergency notice to police departments around the country yesterday to strengthen patrols in and around schools at the beginning and the end of the school day and to inspect small hotels, Internet cafes, and recreational sites next to the buildings.
Public safety scandals in which children are the main victims have been a focal point of public anger in recent years, from the deaths of 5,000 students crushed by shoddily built schools in a 2008 earthquake to a tainted-milk scandal that sickened 300,000 babies months later. Since late last year, more than 3,000 children have suffered from lead poisoning due to polluting factories built near villages.Gee, the kids get hammered at the Chinese school and the Chinese get hammered in the Zionist AmeriKan MSM.

SHANGHAI — With a frenzy of fireworks over a metropolis that once symbolized China’s subjugation by the West, China yesterday feted its first world’s fair, a gargantuan jamboree of 189 nations that Communist Party leaders hope will showcase their country as a potent but peaceful world power.
Fireworks signaled the start of the Shanghai World Expo, where thousands of visitors watched the opening ceremony yesterday at the China Pavilion in Shanghai. (Reuters/Stringer)

Typical arrogant AmeriKan government.

Since HRW does the bidding of Israel I'm no longer interested in what they have to say.
Tens of thousands of Shanghai residents watched the fireworks and laser light show last evening from the Bund, a riverside embankment studded with grand, colonnaded buildings dating from Shanghai’s precommunist era, when the city served as Asia’s financial capital, a role it now wants to reclaim.
“In the past, foreigners looked down on Chinese,’’ said Jiang Xian, a retired a petrochemical worker who bought his wife and granddaughter to watch the pyrotechnics. “I am now very proud and excited.’’
And here the AmeriKan MSM is ruining it.
Even newcomers to Shanghai, who often complain that the natives are unfriendly and arrogant, gloried in the city’s moment in the sun.
I'd say that about Zionist Israeli Jews, but they are not natives of Palestine; they are Khazar converts and lying, land-stealing murderers. The rest is true, though.

"World Bank lifts China’s role" by Associated Press | April 26, 2010
WASHINGTON — The World Bank recognized China’s growing economic influence and agreed yesterday to elevate Beijing’s voting power to behind only the United States and Japan in the 186-nation lending organization.
Lifting China above a number of Western powers, including Germany, France, and Britain, also gives other nations with emerging economies more voice in how the bank operates and lends money....
China’s stake at the bank, in terms of voting power, climbs from 2.78 percent to 4.42 percent. The United States, the world’s largest economy, remains in the number one spot at 15.85 percent, effectively giving it veto power, followed by Japan at 6.84 percent.
Then it's an USraeli tool, nothing more.
Robert Zoellick, the bank’s president, said the shift in voting power “recognizes that we need to consign outdated concepts like ‘Third World’ to history. Today the world is moving toward a new, fast evolving multipolar economy.’’

"Beijing to tighten grip on Internet; Firms must report leaking of secrets" by Sharon Lafraniere, New York Times | April 28, 2010
BEIJING — China is on the verge of requiring telecommunications companies and Internet service providers to halt and report leaks of what the government deems to be state secrets, the latest in a series of moves intended to strengthen the government’s control over private communications.
The telecoms here already hand over all their material to the government.
The proposed amendment to the state secrets law, reported yesterday by state news media, defines a state secret broadly and loosely as information that, if disclosed, would damage China’s security or interests in political, economic, defense, and other realms....
Obama invokes state secrets privileges all the time when it comes to torture.
In a related move, the Chinese government Monday posted on a government website a broad definition of what constituted a commercial secret, covering information related to strategic plans, management, mergers, equity trades, stock market listings, reserves, production, procurement and sales strategy, financing and finances, negotiations, joint venture investments, and technology transfers.
Actually, those are confidential here in AmeriKa.
