« belvario : Why?

Hmmm ... respect, maybe ... So the nation can realize the gravity of such a tragedy, instead of going about their days in total oblivious ignorance.

This seems very unlikely. How is that even possible? ALL of China? You'd think if something like that was going down someone would maybe mention..idk..why?!

Well ... what someone is told to do isn't always what is done. Although, in china's case from our perspective, how can we ever REALLY know what goes on there?

Things are censored there alot, the news has to be 'searched' before it goes on the air and 80% of it has to be good and 20% has to be bad. Which makes the 'only earthquake news wierd to me" but maybe it is out of respect
