Snowy China political troubles.

From Seablogger, the Chinese government is quite skittish about the collapse of mass transit.

I was talking to a student today about disasters.  I asked him about a recent elevator accident in Wuxi that killed 24 people.  He told me he heard nothing about it.  But then it didn't suprise him.  He said a downtown building fire was not reported in the local news either.  He heard about it only because a friend of his had seen it.
