Black mark against China's charity sector
Soon after the Yaan earthquake in Sichuan , a weibo message of concern posted by the Red Cross Society of China attracted pages of derisive responses from internet users, with many telling it to "get lost". The charity should not be surprised.
It got a similar reception last year during Beijing's deadly floods. But perhaps it thought things would be different this time, since compared with the lower casualty numbers of the floods, an earthquake of tragic proportions would surely elicit more sympathy from people, much as the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake did.
