Thank you all who decided to donate.
I personally consider it's time to put away ideology difference, since we donate to the victims, instead of the government.
Regarding the government, I think Chinese people have more say than people from other countries.
They know well if the government is good.

I am a very ordinary Chinese citizen in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia. I simply work in a private company.
The moderator may know my location from my IP.

Some say many Chinese people would rather go to the U. S. than stay in China. That's true because  in their mind they can earn more money in the U. S.  Similarly, many American companies would rather build more branches in China than in the U. S. It's very normal people want to earn more money.

Some say China's pollution is considerable. Yes, it's true. Do you think only China has a pollution problem? No, in fact, it's a common problem that all modern countries are facing. Say.

Any way, pollution and ideology are never the reason not to help common victims in disaster...
That's my opion. Thanks again.   

One thing that is absolutely sure is that you will not want to donate money on a bank account number (or a link to) found on an internet message board, even if it's posted by a known user.

Donate is a good gesture but it should be made through the brick-and-mortar office of a wellknown organisation like the red cross etc.
Not on an webpage.

Now the problem with China is that they work like crazy for the maximum production at the lowest cost possible without having a safety net to cushion for disasters, crashes and unforeseen events.
Not only in China but this example is typical.

I'm sorry to the Chinese to say that, but everything they produce will just hold for of few uses then will fall into pieces in a pathetic manner. It seems all their country is like that: It works well until it get broke.
I don't want to blame the victims. I'm very sad for these innocent poeple who certainly did their best all their live. The problem is not them. The problem is how industrial chinese production is done, materialy.
If dams are cracking, it's not because workers were lazy, it 's because the directors of the project decided to save money by building something thiner with cheap cement and less iron, the goal being the production of X mW, not to do something earth quake proof.
That's just one example.

CCTV is just a mouthpiece for the dictators.  Like the old Soviet TASS "news" service, or the Soviet newspaper Pravda.  There's no reason any reasonable person outside China should believe a word of anything posted at a "CCTV" website.

Like I said, if you want to make a donation, great.  Give it to your local Red Cross.  Never under any circumstance send money directly to China, unless you feel like financing President Hu's wifes expensive jewelry purchases.

All donors should take precautions against fraud and scams.

simply , if you think you have no money , you could speak out directly , we won't discriminate you on this ISSUE.

And please enlighten me, once again, in which way China is 'communist'?

I had a mate who lived in Yugoslavia in the early 80s.  The way he described that, that is what I always think of when someone says 'communist': shops with completely empty shelves, bar two jars of jam, and suchlike.

China is nothing like that.

People in China are seeing their standard of living increasing at a rate which is completely unprecedented in modern history.

My wife is from a very poor area of rural Hubei.  When she was a kid, she had to live off a spoon of sugar a day, as that was all her parents could afford.  Now, people eat bloody well, far better than most people in the UK do

*pats stomach*

Seriously, all most people in Britain can afford to eat is like a pitiful bowl of cereal in the morning, then some crappy sandwich for lunch, then some wanky microwave meal or something in the evening. 

People in China eat seriously well.  We're going back to blighty for a couple of years so I can do a bit more study.  But my wife is seriously worried about the cost of food, compared with China.

And if you think I'm anything like Goebbels, you're a fucking twunt.

I just don't think any of you are representing China at all fairly.

It is an aesthetically ugly place.

That isn't the point though.

It's also very impressive as developing countries go, and the level of interference for the average Chinese citizen, by the state, is pretty much zero, by my observations.

Irrelevant - apologists for dictatorships and totalitarian regimes sound the same wherever they come from.

Apologies.  It has everything to do with the dictators.  The people are not free to set their own standards.  The people in Sichuan CANNOT get together and establish local building codes.  They cannot tell their own government how to build a school.  They have NO voice in determining where dams go.  They have absolutely NO recourse if they are forced to send their child (I was going to say children -- but Chinese forced abortions solve that problem, don't they?) to a slip-shod school made of toothpicks all because the Chinese government doesn't want to spend money to build quality buildings. 

Who can hold them accountable?  To whom will the Chinese government report now that their buildings have caused the deaths of thousands of schoolchildren.

No one.  Because thuggish Communist dictators don't answer to anyone.
