In fact, thousands of overseas Chinese, who are not affected by any so-called "patriotic education," marched on streets to make their voices heard. The root cause of so much dissatisfaction among the Chinese people is the sense of being treated unfairly by Western media. There is a great need for the Western media, the Chinese government and its citizens to have constructive dialogues to build a mutual understanding. After all, the West needs...
...rescue workers raced death as they laboriously tried to lift crushing slabs of concrete to get to victims pinned in the debris pile.

Before Shervington can answer, a rocket-propelled grenade whistles over the gathering. He dives to protect Raziq, while the soldiers take cover. The villagers, unperturbed, gather around the flour-laden truck to get their rations; then they disappear. The RPG had come from a compound further south, aimed not at the shura, but at the British forces waiting on the road. Unable to spot the insurgents, the soldiers are prevented from returning fire...
