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.
Now the death number is 12000

thanks for your prayers
I almost cried about the deaths
three of my friends are still in the quake area, I’ll post latest news asap
I can’t say nothing,because I don’t know it’s right or wrong.
I SEE mickey finn,it’s my mistake, please forget it and forgive me!
Thank you. I pray that he lived and is okay. My prayers continue for all those who are still missing, those who have died, their families and their loved ones.
From this post, I’ve seen most US people (maybe most people here are working for US goverment) do not know anything about China at all. BUT, you imagine how bad Chinese goverment is and criticize it as your will.
I am from China too, as you may “be suprised” as well , I can connect to this site freely and post any words I like here. (I refered this post to many guys in China, it’s really funny you believe this)
China is not what you think, taking a look at it and its people before criticizing anything.
Just let facts talk.
CNN is now a funny joke.
