China's Deadly Snow Storm

The worst blizzard in 50 years is crippling China, according to BBC World News.  Buildings are collapsing under the weight of snow.  Travelers are stranded.  Crops are frozen.  And this is before the Chinese New Year next week and the Olympics.

Where is the humanitarian aid?  Where are the coporations that depend on the Chinese workers?  Why is there nobody concerned in the American news media?

All I have seen watching the standard news is the political commentary on the up coming primary's.  I had to go to the BBC to find out about this human tragedy, that is happening.  

This is going to affect the price of commercial goods that America consumes.  Prices will be affected.  Which will make the current recession worse.

That is not what concerns me.  This storm is affecting millions of people.  American's are known to be the most generous people on the planet, at least that is what we tell ourselves, how can we help if we don't know?
