A MASSIVE earthquake in central CHINA appears to have prompted a quick and aggressive response from the Chinese government. Tens of thousands of troops have been deployed to the stricken region, and Premier Wen Jiabao is personally directing rescue efforts at the quake's epicenter. The highly publicized operation is a dramatic change from Beijing's reaction to previous disasters: The last earthquake of similar proportions, in 1976, was treated like a state secret. It also starkly contrasts with the rapidly worsening situation in neighboring Burma, where up to 2 million people have been imperiled by the criminal failure of the country's military regime to provide relief in the 12 days since Cyclone Nargis struck the country. ...

BEIJING: The official death toll from a powerful earthquake in central CHINA has risen to 15,000. The local news agency reported on Wednesday that 14,866 have been killed - two days after the magnitude-7.9 quake hit central CHINA. It was not clear if the official number included all the dead discovered in hard-to-reach mountain villages at the earthquake''s epicenter. Military helicopters dropped food and medicine to Chinese earthquake survivors who remained cut off on Wednesday in remote mountain villages behind roads clogged by landslides. The official death toll of more than 12,000 appeared certain to soar as several thousand more bodies were found. Some victims trapped for more than two days under collapsed buildings were still being pulled out alive in delicate rescues. But the number of bodies grew along with survivors'' frustrations in finding out what happened to thousands of missing. ...
