Chinese top leaders vow to fight typhoon
Chinese President Hu Jintao has sent important instructions on relief work in areas hit by Typhoon Rananim, calling for all-out effort to cure the wounded, restore water, electricity supplies, transportation and telecommunication infrastructure as well as properly arrange people's life in the area. In an instruction, Premier Wen Jiabao also called on relevant departments to continue their effort for the all-round success in disaster relief work. Typhoon Rananim has killed at least 115 people, left 16 missing and injured more than 1,600 in east China's Zhejiang Province by Friday afternoon.Too bad they've been spending all their money on building those missiles to point at Taiwan. Maybe building levees and emergency service facilities would have been a better idea. That is, if the politburo actually gave a sh!t about the welfare of their people. Posted by: Zenster 2004-08-15 |
