US time weekly: At this time after Haiti at that time Wenchuan China disaster, reconstructs obviously the superiority _New China international _New China net

    On March 25, 2009, tourist took a souvenir photo before the earthquake disaster area Mianzhu awning flower village flower. Sichuan Mianzhu awning flower village is completely destroyed in the Wenchuan big earthquake, the process restores to reconstruct, this hamlet has glowed the vitality.

    Reviews Haiti earthquake, thinks of China’s Wenchuan earthquake. On May 12, 2008, the Richter 7.9 magnitude of earthquakes have attacked Sichuan’s Wenchuan area, the innumerable school buildings, building and house collapse in the earthquake, 68,000 people have been claimed by the earthquake the life. However earthquake’s heartless and shocking casualty was Haiti and China these two both are possibly made a sneak attack by the earthquake the national only similarity.

    American Time reporter Austin? Rumsey once paid a return visit the disaster area Wenchuan earthquake 6 months later, locality’s urban outlook and economic recovery speed makes him to be startled quickly: The tent area which in Dujiang Weirs, after the ruins and shake, builds to disappear, what displacing is other stack neat brick bat, lumber and building materials; Everywhere can see the constructed house building, many prefabricated houses free are provided to because of the earthquake, but homeless 5 million disaster victims housing. These prefabricated houses construct by the brand-new aluminum material and polystyrol froth insulation material in the smooth cement floor, and is arranged neatly in the mountain valley basin. Although the condition is far “luxuriously”, but the environment is very clean neatly, sufficiently warm will of the people.

    American Red Cross China Branch’s local representative RumseyPlatts once on the spot had also inspected the Wenchuan earthquake disaster area. Platts said that he has not seen any homeless person in the Wenchuan disaster area. “If takes other Wenchuan earthquake same Tsunami or large-scale natural disasters compares, after such high efficiency disaster, the reconstruction is very rare. No matter is reconstruction or reconstructs the organizational work to carry on very well, any had been to the foreign friends in locality to give the extremely high appraisal to the Chinese government.”

    Platts believes that compares with Haiti, after China carries on the disaster, the reconstruction has many superiority. First, “the Chinese government is really very formidable central authorities, it has ability to protect to support her people, I think that after is this point causes shaking, China the reconstruction so is successful. But situation in Haiti is entirely different, Haiti people need many international interferences and aid”.

    Next, although the Wenchuan earthquake affected the life of several million local people, but the earthquake birthplace is mainly in the mountainous area, but non-densely population city, therefore after the disaster, reconstruction centralized in countryside and small cities.

    Finally, although Wenchuan earthquake disaster victim area is quite generally impoverished, but the local lives of the people obtained the effective safeguards: They have the basic food supply and water supply, can obtain the medicine and medical service, can enjoy the transportation and communications facility. Such result benefit in the rapid response of Chinese government, after the earthquake occurred, has many police armies to be dispatched the disaster area immediately , helping to rescue is buried the populace, to provide food and water, repairs the path as well as maintains the local order the stability. Platts also once shook after Sichuan the disaster area treated after a period of time, he said that he disaster area has not seen any to rob after shaking or is other illegal criminal acts. “I once worried that is shaken the Mt. Hou body landslide and aftershock influence, after shaking, the disaster area will be unsafe, but the fact told me, here will not have any rough stuff absolutely. Also some people had questioned in the Wenchuan earthquake collapsed the school building to have the quality problem, but after the Chinese government indeed has also punished the disaster, the reconstruction fund diverted the illegal official.”

    In Platts eye, China’s other superiority is: Compares China with Haiti is a high-speed economic development great nation, China has ability to cause the economical more developed area aid under-developed area. The Chinese government in 2008 announced that China will contribute 176 billion US dollars are used in the Wenchuan earthquake’s disaster the reconstruction after 2011 (Wenchuan earthquake disaster recovering total cost estimate is 250 billion US dollars). Up to last September, after the Chinese government has spent to surpass 50 billion US dollars carry on the disaster reconstructs, one part of reconstruction fund is aided by Chinese other un-disaster province. China has 20 provinces the entire province two years financial revenue 1% donate to Sichuan after the disaster reconstruction fund.

    Wenchuan earthquake disaster area’s economic recovery condition is similarly good. The disaster area majority is an agricultural region, after shaking, soon the local peasant can return to the farmland. After large-scale disaster, reconstructed also has simultaneously brought the investment and job opportunity, part of disaster victims on, therefore had found the work. Although Wenchuan earthquake disaster area GDP total quantity not to China GDP total quantity 1%, but this also explained that the earthquake disaster area the economic development has not towed the entire China’s economic development the hind leg.
