THE number of deaths from a viral illness infecting children around China has risen to 34, as the total of reported infections jumped to nearly 25,000.
The latest deaths occurred in the hardest-hit central province of Anhui, where 22 children have already died of hand, foot and mouth disease.

The US Embassy said an official was planning to visit Beijing next week to meet with Chinese officials to discuss health issues.

Mashimaro. It appaers that China is having difficulty in dealing with this outbreak so the US has offered to help. I was reading the Herald yesterday which apparently interviewed many Chinese in the affected area, who said they had not had any contact from Beijing or any health minister on how to deal with the situation.
Accept help where it is offered, it might prevent a bigger outbreak.

The US can take its "help" and stick it where the farking sun won't go. The WHO is there and the WHO is quite satisfied with the progress being made.
The US is not the globocop.
China is more than capable of dealing with this, and it is dealing with it. This is nothing more than grandstanding on America's part. They need to p!ss off and let Asia deal with Asia's issues.
Do you really think we are that stupid?

Mashimaro. get off your f@ckin high horse, that achieves nothing. I would have thought that a so called enlightened man such as yourself would understand the reasons for this.
You want the whole world to say b@gger this we aint going to the Olympics if this is prevailant?
Why should people take the risk?
It's an offer of help and should be viewed as such. You lot obviously cant handle it so accept the help. Spend more of your f@cking wealth helping your people.

Biker: Dude, if it was Norway, Sweden, Denmark, I would be saying "come on in".
But it's not, it is the f@cking yankees. They never offer help without believing that they then have a reason to force you to become democratic.
No no no no no.
the Who is here and that is all the help we need.
We are spending billions to help our people, I've explained this to you before.
Now you know that widness of the gap between poor and wealthy you can understand how China needs to balance its actions between them. It needs to keep the rich making money as they will then create the jobs and lift families out of poverty, and it needs to pull the poor out of poverty. It needs to find the water and the food, the fuel and shelter to keep them all alive.
What we do not need is the UKUS cat pawing away.

Mashimaro. Absolute Boll@cks my friend. Take help where it is offered and regect the other cr@p if that is what you want. Right now you have perhaps 3000 people infected and about 25 dead. When will China begin to notice the problem?
As for keeping the rich producing, thats a laugh. How many rich are sitting on their idle ar@es doing nothing for the situation because it dousn't affect them. Well it might sooner than they think if the situation is not resolved before the big show. Between the rising infection rate and Child slavery I begin to understand why China takes a brutal aspect to controling the people. Simply... they cannot control them any other way and that is a great shortcoming. Pay for the drugs required and accept the help before its too late.
