China donates $100,000 to Philippines

Just to add, 100,000 isnt much and yes China could have given more, yes China sucks big time, arguing on this forum isnt going to CHANGE the communist parties mind. We are better off promoting other charities to save the people that are in real need.

did you fail to read the thread title?

if you want to promote other charities, go start a thread

to use your tasteless analogy, in China's case it is like turning up in a benz (or carrying US$8.2 trillion in foreign reserves) and throwing in a 10 kuai token offering because dead Uncle once disagreed with you.

Yes, and what is wrong with that? It's my money and this is charity and I damn well give it to the person that I believe deserves of my money. Just because I am rich doesn't mean that I have to give it all to someone I don't care much about. The fact that I turned up and gave something and that would save some lives is already commendable.

As INXS asked, what is the line in $ value between generosity and stinginess when given to humanitarian aid?

[INXS]

Plenty of people sending prayers.

ok I will give a figure, 10 million USD. more than some less than others.

yes and the people at the funeral would justifiably make a comment or two. Perhaps it would have been more respectful not to have gone to the funeral do you not think?

Remarkable, I'm from Sweden, this is what they did over in my home country: Sent a Hercules Airplane filled with 61 ton of supplies:

HK Government is asking the Legco on Friday to approve some funds for the P.I.

You asked I gave. If you were in charge of China what would you give? I have given my answer.
