Shakedown efforts by whom? Members of the esteemed Chinese public, of course (who must have taught Jesse Jackson all he knows about the art of the shakedown). Ironically, this is after the government set the tone by cranking up the xenophobia before a worshipful public during the Olympic torch and product defect incidents. Truly amusing. Maybe foreign direct investment is starting to slow.

The Chinese? saying ‘thank you’??? Maybe there’s hope for them, after al!

I lived through the ‘89 Loma Preita quake in the Bay Area and I don't recall seeing a damn dime of help from China or any Chinese companies.

"Wake up, everyone. Support Chinese companies instead," said a posting on myspace.com's Chinese service, myspace.cn. "Money should stay in Chinese hands!"

The "free" traders are not going to be thrilled.

Thank you for posting this. FR remains the least filtered place to get information and opinion on the net.

Actually, it is not the people's fault since the CCP has brainwashed so many people by their lies. And the media are controlled by the CCP, so we are not able to know the truth.
For example, the CCP talked little about donations by the foreign countries but their so-called contribution was well polished.
However, thanks to the Internet,a growing number of Chinese begin to know the truth.
