Apart from natural disasters, where is the responsibility of the related persons? What lessons can we learn from this experience? How is it that in the Prefecture headquarters area all the people\u2019s houses are of such poor quality that they have broken like eggs? If these houses that could not withstand earthquakes are built privately, then shouldn\u2019t the government issue some advice or policy regarding this? Likewise, in Yushu, why is it that in the aftermath of the earthquake, there is such a big difference to be seen between the people\u2019s houses and government offices? Why is it that during a 7.1 Richter scale earthquake, the first was shown to be so poor and the second was so strong?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>High Peaks Pure Earth has translated a blog post by a Tibetan writing in Chinese posing a series of questions he or she would ask at an official press conference about the recent Qinghai earthquake, such as: After many school dormitories collapsed during the Sichuan earthquake, how come the Yushu prefecture didn\u2019t take any notice?
