From LA Times (sub required): “China’s presence in the global effort to aid tsunami victims is hard to miss here.
The country’s large, red tents are pitched in the middle of the town’s air force base, the center of regional relief operations. Its team, which includes 16 emergency doctors, is larger than that of any other foreign country on the base and has made frequent runs to remote villages, treating about 1,000 victims a day. China’s monetary pledge has topped $63 million, its largest peacetime overseas humanitarian donation.”
