During a State Council press conference this week, a journalist from the state-run China Daily asked why so many schools were destroyed by the tremor, while government buildings seemed comparatively intact. "It was not just schools that collapsed, but because children were buried we pay close attention to that," replied Wang Zhenyao, disaster relief director for the Ministry...
