I was impressed by the fast and effective response by the Chinese government. Not to be compared to the deplorable response by the Federal-State-city governments after Katrina (believe me I was there in New Orleans). I am an expat now living in Shanghai, China and I even volunteered to go to Wenchuan county in Sichuan province. What I also admire is the spirit of the Chinese people to never give up and their ability to look pass differences and work together. That spirit is unfortunately lacking in the US and thats why I no longer want to live there. In China people work together and get things done. I LIKE THAT!

Good for you George, I was also impressed by the Chinese gov swift reaction to Tianaman square. I am also impressed by their ability to invade and import ethnic chinese into their pasifist neighbours via a rail road built by slave labour, their ability to kill new born girls by the 100,000 of thousands (hence their male imbalance in upcoimg generations). Ohh im also impressed by their ability to export lead in food, coal byproducts in tooth paste and pet food, but am even more impressed that they get retards like you to support their dictatorship...you are a true humanist George.

Well, all politics aside, the response to the earthquake does seem a little more robust than our Katrina response. I hadn't though about the two in contrast.

Each country has abominable faults and unique positive qualities from which we can all learn.
