How not to do business in China

China donated 5 million dollars to Katrina disaster which not comparable to the Sichuan earthquake.
China is about 30% of U.S in term of GDP, but China's donation to U.S. is 10 times to U.S.'s.
What a stingy country!

Quote from richardyu301:
US government has only donated $500k to China. This is nearly nearly the smallest donation among all countries in the world.
I don't mean to sound anti-American. But if you really think about it, this is really stupid. This amt of $ isn't really enough for the US army in Iraq to spend a day. So the US President would rather spend much more on the war in Iraq and piss so many ppl off rather than giving a little bit more when China is in trouble.
Ppl are talking about how US is losing the soft war in international relationship. This is really a typical case.
Quote from Daal:
China more than $1T USD sitting around, if they werent in such obsession with proping up their export sector the could use that money to help their people in anyway they want. its a joke that they want more money from bankrupt nations while they hoard a huge pile of savings
It is not the amount, but the gesture that is important. Even US government donated USD500,000 at first ( They donated more USD1,000,000 yesterday or today, I heared CCTV said so ), it was a gesture that US government is willing to help in times of trouble. The Chinese government will take it as a good willingness and will treat US in the same way in the future.

It's karma for China to occupy Tibet; it's even a bigger curse for China that commies are still controlling the country?
The US and have given its wealth and resources to make China a better (rich) nation,

Those are statements that 1.3 billion Chinese people will simply not agree.
I think you guys completely miss the pt.
I am also a Chinese but I am not saying this b'coz of my nationality.
But if you are the CEO of McDonald's and you are spending millions on PR in China, why not donate a little bit to show your helping hand?
Same as my argument above saying that the US government is brainless. Even if they set to extend its hegemony in the world, it is more effective for effective for them to spend just a little more in the Iraqi world and spend it in some other ways.
Is this logic really so difficult to understand?
Of course, I am not encouraging ppl to simply use this opportunity to pitch themselves. But apart from being looking cold-blooded, the US is so dumb in the way it handles relationship with other countries.

It's real karma for U.S. to have 911 due to its policies in the middle east. Why do those people hate you? You must have forgotten.
