Newsweek has a "Conventional Wisdom" section with arrows that indicate popularity of certain people or country. So Clinton says something bad? She gets a down arrow. Bush did something right? He gets an up arrow. China received a down arrow for "shoddy building codes and one child policy" as the earthquake revealed.
I find this fairly disturbing. Even if you have 10 kids you may lose them all in the next natural disaster. About shoddy building codes, well some of those buildings are quite old. While that MAY be true, but that was a 7.9 magnitude earthquake. Can YOUR house withstand that?
The rescue efforts have been remarkable. People work day and night to rescue those in need as they overcome fears of aftershocks still taking place. When disasters strike, brotherhood and unity is strong.
However, the real unfortunate human nature is that when times are good, people start cheating on each other. Some evil people may have stolen from $ the building funds to make such shoddy school buildings. I hope that's not the case.
