If you look at the picture, about eight guys with snow shovels are working in the shadow of a tank. They’re probably doing the actual work; the tank merely provides some minimal shelter from the weather, food, and fresh snow shovels. (The Chinese aren’t known for their efficiency.)

I think even Phoenix or Mississippi or Florida or probably even Louisiana could handle this type of wintertime natural disaster better than what we see from the People’s Republic of China. Chenzhou, a city of 4 million people slightly colder on average than Jackson (Mississippi), hasn’t had any electric power for two weeks.

Maybe the tank treads (theirs are steel, whereas ours have rubber track pads) break up the ice for the shovel bubbas. Of course, they may be using the exhaust to warm up as well...

Wimps. Those Chinese wouldn't last a day where I live.
