Chinese turn to internet in wake of earthquake
While not entirely surprising, I found this BBC piece on the internet’s role in helping Chinese quake survivors connect quite interesting. Of course there are the requisite pleas for loved-ones to get in touch, but I also found it surprising to find a number of citizens criticizing Andy Lau for being a little cheap on the handouts…
Chinese media reports that NBA basketball player Yao Ming has given £37,000, while actors Jackie Chan and Jet Li have donated £735,000 and £74,000 respectively.
The main focus of anger is Andy Lau, a Hong Kong-based singer and actor who has given £7,400.
