I consider your point of view here to be extreme. I don't doubt that China would have controlled what was released to the media, but don't forget so soon that our government controlled the information released regarding the Gulf Oil Spill. Our government restricted media access. Our government allowed a material underestimation of the volume of oil spilling to go on for months.
To suggest that China has no consideration for human life is so extreme, I don't know how to respond. Every catastrophic event is unique speculation does not have much value. Again, using the Gulf Oil Spill, our government failed to properly enforce the regulations that could have prevented the loss of life - but I don't make a blanket statement about America having no regard for human life.

Ace, I'm certain the people of China would disagree with your assessment of their freedoms. Of course, they won't be able to evaluate it - since they aren't allowed to read this web site. That pretty much sums it up. All done here.

Perhaps, some in China think you a brainwashed. So who would be correct? I would say neither. What you know about China is what has been fed to you, and what they know about us is what has been fed to them. I believe most on both sides understand that, don't you understand it?
