chinese college student — everyone feels compassion for the victims of this natural tragedy. We sincerely mourn with you and share your sadness for the great loss of life.
We don’t care if you have a communist or capitalist government, that’s the choice of your people — if you don’t like your government, have another revolution at the ballot box or otherwise or keep the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
That said, the photographs I saw of the earthquake looked like no one put reinforcing steel in any of the concrete buildings that collapsed. This is a failure of the building codes, inspectors or I will put to you – outright corruption on the part of CCP government officials who were only concerned with lining their own pockets. Earthquakes are nothing new to China and this isn’t exactly rocket science to shore up buildings for earthquakes.
In China, you have only the CCP to blame, there is no other party that shares power. This is the same party that is responsible for the deaths of up to 80 million people, that still imprisons people for their beliefs (Falun Gong practitioners are STILL arrested for peacefully meditating) and that controls all the media.
I would suggest holding the CCP to the same standards Falun Gong practitioners hold themselves: Truth – Compassion – Tolerance.
If you do this, you will understand why many people consider the CCP to be wicked.
