thanks for your concern...

i am reading chinese news, the official news 10min ago say the number is close to 100 handred... but the center of quake, WenChuan county, not rescue team can enter, all the communications are shut up..

i have been up all the night in China, praying.

this is the biggest disaster i ever experience in my country, i am crying..

another 4 elementary school and one middle school are collapsed. details not given.

an elementary school in Chongqing, 5 children died, 50 buried. rescuing is going on.

thanks for your concern.

agree with your attitude.. we should focus on the national news..... the truth is, it’s is in the early morning , 4:30am, all the national news have stopped.

I can not get any news anywhere... (no 24 news scroll in china as CNN in USA)..

sleep..

the People's Bank of Chinan (中国人民银行) is a administrating institute, not a commercial bank that can pay customers, much like Federal Reserve of America....OOPS... so nobody can be payed by the people's bank of China, whoever it is.

LOL, under the bridge...

Chinese govenment is always telling that there are a lot of homeless people in the states, don’t give that information out, or you are in danger to be an example..:D

not a FBI anymore ?

I agree with you ..

It’s me who posted that article and pointer to this website in the chinese website.

don’t be pananoi, quite a part of Chinese are also pro-democracy.. including me.. but just we don’t know how to do it. personally , i sincerely hope we can elect our own president.. but how ?

me too, I am curious whether wikipedia is opened again because the olympic is coming.

I was certain wikipedia is not accessible, surprised me just now when i found i can visit.

Can i take it that this forum is kept private, not open to Chinese? or just you guys are worried that Chinese opinion?
I am open to all the opinions. sorry if there is any misunderstanding.

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.

It’s me who posted it in Tianya.

At first, thank you all for your kindly concerns and prayers for the Chinese victims in disaster.

i guess several Chinese have newly registered here,including me. because we have a thread in a major Chinese website mentioned this site. that thread is to appreciate the guys here for your concerns and prayer thousands miles away. we appreciate your kindness, unselfishness,and integrity, and rightousness. some webviewer got curious, then joined here, i guess. because not so often a foreign political site is discussed in China

as for the censorship by Chinese government, sure there are several sites we can not visit, for the reason we don’t know, for example, we could not visit wikipedia (strange?) for a while, but not now , but we sure can visit most of the site in USA, just a little slow..

but most people can not efficiently communicate in English, that IS major impede to access. i guess.

things about Chinese political are not so worse as you thought, but indeed not free as you are.(maybe? i don’t know if there is censorship by the administrator on this web. e.g. how about i appraise communism here? i am not a communist of course)

we are very worried and concerned right now about the damage in this disaster, but I can not watch TV right now.(not for political or economical reason. just inconvienent), so i am browsing the web to find something to digest.

again, thank you for your kindness to Chinese...
