Mostly Praise for the Response to the Quake

Earthquakes and other natural disasters are a-political; they strike 
regardless.

Unlike Burma, where the leader****p committed crimes against humanity, the
CCP 
did most of the right things. The key correct decision was not to hide the

facts (a common failing in previous cases: i.e., SARs.) Allowing the
Chinese 
media the re****t the news live was a huge breakthrough. The second correct

decision was for the leader****p to rush massive resources to the scene.

(Sadly, the CCP was unwilling to accept foreign experts -- like the dog
teams 
from Japan -- early enough so they could save lives.)

Undoubtedly, the Chinese media could have been more aggressive (the habit
of 
following the Party Line is hard to break). For example, some buildings
that 
should have survived the quake collapsed as a result of poor construction
and 
the Chinese media could have investigated such things to learn if
negligence 
or dishonesty or both were involved.
