Wei said snow was falling in the region's Altay district, where accumulations had already risen to 94 centimetres. Altay lies in China's extreme northwestern corner, 2,600 kilometres northwest of Beijing, the capital.
I'm sure they are burning coal as quick as they can right now to increase the rate of global warming.
China has plenty of money and resources to help itself. Don't go begging
That's a shitty attitude...they helped out during the 2004 Tsunami and even sent aid to the richest country on earth after Hurricane Katrina, so why shouldn't aid be sent if there is crisis.
On September 2, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that it will offer $5 million along with emergency supplies, including 1,000 tents, 600 generators, bed sheets, immediately for disaster relief. China also offered to send medical care and rescue workers if they were needed. This aid package consisting of 104 tons of supplies later arrived in Little Rock, Arkansas. A chartered plane carrying the supplies arrived on September 7.
The only question that needs to be asked is whether or not it is serious enough to send international aid (like the Sichuan earthquake in 2008 was).
They obviously don't get much snow usually. Of course it could explain where all of Toronto's snow went this year.
