Blogging a Quake, Live from Chengdu
Song found it outrageous that TV news reporting on the earthquake was still emphasizing that Beijing’s main Olympics stadium, the “Bird’s Nest,” had suffered no damage from the earthquake, as thousands of people were dying elsewhere in the nation. In the meantime, his TV screen was showing that in the worst hit areas in southern China’s Sichuan province, middle school buildings collapsed in villages and parents were digging into the wreckage trying to find their children.
Well, when you’ve got a bunch of inferiority-complexed, face-ridden commie overlords pushing the Olympics as the essence of all things mainland Chinese, you have to expect them to put the important things first.
A million dead Chinese, in China’s historical calculus of slaughter, is just one million less mouths to feed.

And that is a pretty good summation of “…the essence of all things mainland Chinese,” at least wrt their theory of government.
