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.

Why don’t you actually read something about straw bale construction before making ignorant 3 little pigs comments.

Latest 4 pm TV news flash. 7.9 on the richter scale, at least 8,700 killed, many still trapped in school(s).

I think you misunderstood me. I was saying that I don’t think this is a plot. I was responding to others who had concerns about the increase in membership here.

I was even questioned whether I got paid for posting there.

Actually, according to the financial records we intercepted from the People's Bank of Chinan (中国人民银行), you were paid for that work. Your payment was 10515 yuan.

please, man, you underestimate CCP’s agitprop power, if they are determined to mess this site up, believe me, you would see a whole different situation here, instead of few Chinese with raw English. use your brain.


well,The communist Party of China are quite bully when dealing with their own citizens, but outside China.I dont think so, they have no such powers. In fact, they are quite afraid of US.

Chairman Mao named US “paper tiger”,but it was his first born son who was bomb by an American Jet in Korean war.That’s why Chairman mao cant hand his power to his offsprings, like the Kim in North Korean did. And that was why China is different from N.Korean now.

I think all chinese people owe US a debt.

It’s sad that your threads on chinese forums get deleted. It’s even more sad that you and your friends who came here because of information that Americans are praying for you get attacked here.

Sleeper.

I do, too. If you like, we can settle it this way: Collect 1 yuan from every Chinese citizen, and send it to:

Lazamataz
Under the Interstate 85/295 bridge
Atlanta, GA 30340.

I appreciate the help, in advance.

Curious. What do most think about “global warming”? True, not true?

I think it’s a big hoax.

Wow, really? Are you sure? ‘cause if it were true, I would show no concern for my bread next month.

And by the way, I think it should be “People’s Bank of China”. You’re welcome.

I think we could help each other out. I just would love to visit the Great Wall someday. I just want to see it - I heard about it, but I’d love to see it in person.

And what more clever disguise is there, than to portray a homeless man?

Ha HAAAAAA figure THAT one out, Chinese man.
