China donates $100,000 to Philippines

[East_coast]

So is this humanitarian need?

China is offering aid in the form of tents and blankets to the Philippines in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said here on Wednesday.

China will closely follow developments of its neighbor and offer humanitarian aid within its capacity, Qin Gang told a daily news briefing.

The material aid will help several thousands of people in typhoon-devastated regions, Qin said.

"China is carrying out its international humanitarian obligations," Qin said, adding China itself is suffering the effects of super typhoon Haiyan.

Appearing 'proud' that the communist party have done significantly less than the bare minimum to assist a neighbor in need many would consider boorish

No, I don't have to prove anything, him calling me racist is almost the same as acknowledging he's on china's side. Why else would he be defending china?

Sadly he doesn't have the balls to admit it and now he's even denying it. For a long time we were trying to find out why he was so protective of mainlanders. Along the way I came to the conclusion that he must have had close ties to someone from china. Then another member, or he himself confirmed this was indeed the case. That clarified everything for me. Why else would a gweilo back up china every time it receives "negative" publicity? Always condoning, making excuses or downright denying facts.

I would agree with that assessment of INXS, but I think it is more of a "hatred" for the west than it it is a love of China.

I'm guessing after years of failure in love and life....INXS found a good women and a good job in HK/China..now he feels like he owns it to them to be their message board defender.....

I am not quite sure why some of you are stil entertaining INXS and HKIT on that one.

No matter how u look at it...100k (if really nothig else substantial is provided…) is a pittance.

All excuses (corruption...looting....possible refusal from the philippines...) dont hold for a second in the face of what has been done by China in the past or by other countries right now.

And frankly for the chinese to worry about corruption is really...ehhhhrrrrr...

This is really very funny to me. The difference between me and you is that I don't have these simplistic views, West = Good, East = Bad...

My wife is from the Mainland...actually, this is pretty meaningless...my wife has lived in Hong Kong since she was a little girl...not that it should make a jot of difference. Further, I met her in Australia and we lived in three other western countries before deciding to give Hong Kong a go.

Failed in the west? Well, we failed to get fucking visas in two of the supposed fucking friendly and progressive countries in Europe despite being married and having kids and running businesses with employees...Ever tried starting from scratch 3 x in four years?

Now I would be forgiven for hating the west but of course I don't...that would be absurd. People who know me will often hear me talk about a 'middle way'....I would love to find some middle ground between the western style of education and the eastern, for example...

It's really pathetic...so many people on this site are happy to point the finger...people here are happy to talk about, "Mainlanders shitting on the train", as though this is normal behaviour...I find it astonishing that I am accused of racism if I criticise a culture or religion that is popular with the lefties right now while it is a free for all against Chinese people.

People on these boards walk a zig-zag between China and Chinese people...CC, there is the Chinese government, the Chinese people...the Chinese culture.....all three of these concepts are complex ideas mate.

Somebody spoke yesterday about it not being a surprise that people defend the place they've chosen to live and it's true. None of us are being kept here by force...it's a choice. I suspect that I may still be living here when HK reverts to full Chinese rule....

Underneath they are crying though. They interviewed four Filipino staff from a ferry based in the UK. Calmly discussing how they had not heard from their parents, family, etc. Then got on with their job of cleaning. Then they cried.

it wouldn't surprise me. It was disconcerting though. I would have found crying easier to deal with. It's how I feel when I look at some of the video footage.

The Philippines can ask for more help and it will be considered.

Seriously? You want them to be reduced to begging? That statement is worse than nothing at all.

Deadline for bus hostage sanctions against Manila stays, despite typhoon

Chief secretary says possible sanctions against Manila will not be delayed, even though nation is struggling to cope with aftermath of Haiyan


We can see where our useless piece of sh*t government's priorities are.

Fcuking waste of space, the lot of them.

Howard Winn sums it up nicely in the SCMP regarding the hostage deadline:-

"The Philippines should just ignore this deadline and wait for the international opprobrium that will be dumped on Hong Kong should it go ahead with sanctions.

It is shameful and deeply embarrassing."

Unfortunately I have to agree with a previous comment by TheBrit:-

"Beijing knew exactly how this would be perceived. They went ahead and did it anyway. "

clearly demonstrating that they really don't give a shite what anyone thinks of them.

This is what happens when someone comes in at the end of the thread.

China and The Philippines do not have normal relations right now.

China hasn't asked The Philippines to beg...how do you get 'beg' from that?

It's really amazing to me how people can't comprehend this. Of course, with it being China, we don't have to use reason do we? If they're not refusing to help typhoon victims they're shitting on our trains right?

Wow, just read an article claiming that Hong Kong is refusing to back down (or delay) its threat of sanctions against the Philipines for the bus massacre a couple years ago).

Good job Hong Kong!!! That's the mature thing to do, slap economic sanctions onto a country that got smoked by the one of the largest typhoons in history.... over something as trivial as a botched rescue attempt.

Pretty sad, especially considering how vital of a role the Filipinos play in Hong Kong's economy.
