More on Harbin
AsiaNews.it, an excellent English-language Italian Catholic news agency focusing on the region, has extensive coverage of the unfolding environmental disaster: Three million people without water in Harbin, 80-kilometre slick of contaminated water reaches Harbin, and Officials (belatedly) apologise for lying about the Harbin disaster.
Just as with SARS, the Chinese people are learning first-hand how disastrous it is not having a free press. Will this disaster bode ill for the Chinese Communists, as did Chernobyl for the Soviets?
Next stop for the benzene slick: Khabarovsk.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
