The Chinese government, in its relentless efforts to pursue the dream to be a power to be reckoned with, has so far spent billions of dollars to improve, construct and upgrade facilities to prepare for the olympics games.
While the Chinese government is contented with the preparation of the olympics games, disasters come one after another. First came the snow storm in January 2008. Then Tibetans protests and demostrations. Now earthquakes strike and tens of thousands of people are killed or buried alive. The sad thing is that the so-called powerful China lack sophisticated equipment to predict the occurence of earthquakes.Infact, it was a bad sign that thousands of frogs migrated prior to earthquakes but the Chinese government ignored this early warning from the frogs.Worse, the Chinese government lacked of equipment and experience to handle natural disasters and save lifes.
A country which is not ready to face the challeges or unable to overcome natural disaster is not qualified to be a powerful nation either militarily or politically
