Chinese earthquake affects Indian silk industry - 07 June 20
What do you think about the Chinese governments response to the earthquake?
There seems to be a shift toward accessibility for aid and journalists, and the usual game plan.
Nothing but praise I must say, the two top leaders were there at the first instance to encourage the rescuers and console the victims' families also putting themselves at great risk from the dam which could burst at any time by any severe after shocks.

Telling scavengers from the rest is precisely what we’re not supposed to do. It started with a WHO report ascribing 150,000 deaths a year to global warming, continued with Kofi Annan’s now defunct Global Humanitarian Forum report upping it to 300,000. The Pakistani floods and Russian heatwave came only after the tsunami and Haitian and Chinese earthquakes, which have blurred the message terribly.Someone should have a look at the IPCC chapter on the 2003 European heatwave. A quick glance suggests:1) Most of the references are not peer reviewed (which is fair enough, given that it was a political and medical problem, rather than a scientific one).2) References in English were chosen in preference to those in the languages of the countries concerned (which is fair enough, given that the IPCC editors were unpaid volunteers)3) The basic data is all over the place. There are huge discrepancies in ascribed mortalities between the Wikipaedia articles in English, French, and Italian, with the French and Italian governments both making major revisions to the official death tolls long after the event.
