D.J.,

I would recommend you to read the article which contains information that even you may not be aware.

Below are some quotes from an article by Judi McLeod:

"In fact, the cadres of the Earthquake Bureau of Communist China held a major conference in Hangzhou on April 28, 2008—two weeks before the Sichuan earthquake.
The title of the conference was “Training Course for Keeping Earthquake Information Confidential”.

"Why the Chinese government would want to keep the devastation of a natural disaster that was to claim so many humans secret is mind boggling even for a regime that continues to thumb its nose at Human Rights.

"It required the time and kindness of Chinese translators to write this Canada Free Press (CFP) story. That’s because the Chinese Communists do not broadcast these things in English lest the West may get to know."
