An earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale has hit China's Sichuan province. The tremor was felt across the entire region - shaking buildings in the capital, Beijing, as well as the Thai capital, Bangkok, and Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. US Geological Survey said the quake struck 57 miles north-west of the city of Chengdu at 2.29pm local time (6.28am GMT).
Some 10 million people live in Chengdu.
Just like kids here in the US knowing how to bypass the ‘child protection’ software parents put on computers!
Excuse me?
You order me to pray?
Dude. Reconsider some stuff. Seriously.
You are getting SWARMED by Chinese. There are billions of them. They can easily and completely change the complexion of FR at will.
Start thinking of some serious solutions to this problem I saw coming a long time ago.
Well if they are reading this they are in my prayers.It looks really bad over there.
The drones are here. Look at the newly signed up and the post views.The hive mind like the zerg in starcraft...
I hope you can check into FR at other times. I’d like to know about modern china — I do read about ancient China, but I’d like to know about today’s China.
To bad you don't have talk radio - like RUSH LIMBAUGH.
Bump, Seriously.
“I hope you can check into FR at other times. I’d like to know about modern china — I do read about ancient China, but I’d like to know about today’s China.”
Same. This kind of discussion between those who love and want freedom is very important.
I agree 100%. Something isn’t right here.
actually, we can criticize gov on internet, if you know how to read Chinese, or you know somebody can, you can visit the site www.tianya.cn, a hot forum,
I’ve heard that Mandrian is one of the hardest language to learn and Read. I would love to learn it someday because it seems some of the symbols are the same but different meaning.
Some of the sign up names are, er, interesting......

Huh? EagleandLiberty isn’t that much of a noob.
Most Americans are nice!
Bookmarking, as well.
I’ve never seen so many newbies on one thread.
Thank you very much. We appreciate that and best regards to you and you god-daughter.
PS: I’ve also suggested my friend to stay out of his house during the night, ‘cause, you know, there are still aftershocks.
if he is a Chinese, i guess he was just not familiar with the usage of English Grammer, not order. from the view of a bystander.
kinda
I admit i didnt try them lately. Just now i tried and found i can visit en.wikipedia.org.
But in the Tibet crackdown, all the media sites outside china were blocked.
