‘This is not a natural disaster - this is done by humans’

Distress turns to anger at Chinese soldiers and officials over the response to the huge earthquake

The distraught couple’s neighbour, still half-hoping for a sight of her daughter, burst out angrily: “Why isn’t there money to build a good school for our kids? Chinese officials are too corrupt and bad.

“These buildings outside have been here for 20 years and didn’t collapse - the school was only 10 years old. They took the money from investment, so they took the lives of hundreds of kids. They have money for prostitutes and second wives but they don’t have money for our children. This is not a natural disaster - this is done by humans.”

Anger at the government, especially by those one-child families, is understandable. Anger should not be directed at soldiers and officials who are responding. Blame lies elsewhere.
