Philipines gave $450k for the Sichuan quake.



Your GDP is 30X greater than Philippines, their aid to you is the equivalent of China giving $1.35b. Let us not talk about even. Your government is run by a bunch of dicks.
The Chinese have a short memory when it comes to acknowledging goodness done by others.

But a long memory to fudge facts, knowing well that others are not possessed with vindictiveness to remember issues that are best forgotten.

So, the Philippines, which is dirt poor compared to China, still gave money?

It speaks poor people also have a heart and willing share the sorrows of the distressed, while some rich countries and their people are l'avare.

Let me give a caveat.

It is not the Chinese people as such who are mean and stingy or vindictive. Far from it.

It is the Chinese who are in Communist China and are Communists, who are mean, stingy and vindictive.

Here is an example of non Communist Chinese who have been at the wrong end of the Philippines stick, and yet have not shown the meanness, stinginess and vindictiveness of the Chinese Communists

But even if it (China) now rushes aid and supplies to the Philippines' storm-battered provinces, the Chinese government has been made to look mean-spirited in front of the world community. Beijing isn't the only one that has tangled with the Philippines over maritime claims. In May, a Taiwanese fisherman was killed by the Philippine Coast Guard in the South China Sea. Yet Taiwan, which China considers a breakaway province, pledged $200,000 in Haiyan aid.

@no smoking,

Before, you exhibit the Communist Chinese genetic and ideological alacrity to fudge facts and statistics, please realise others are not that clueless and gullible as you may feel they are giving them the benefit of doubt that they possess this unique 'character quality' of yours.

Here is something for you to jiggle, rejuvenate and refresh your Communist induced fantasy and dream of the gigantic fudge that you have attempted to perpetuate that the Philippines gave nothing to China.

Instead, officials in Beijing find themselves evading awkward questions about their miserliness. Perhaps trying to save a smidgen of face, Beijing first upped its offering to $200,000 through the Red Cross. That was still less than half of the $450,000 the Philippines gave China after the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. Even now, China's total offer is far less than the $4.88 million donated to Pakistan after an earthquake there two months ago.
