Cold weather is hampering rescue efforts after an earthquake in China’s Gansu and Qinghai provinces that killed at least 118 people and injured more than 500. The strong shallow earthquake struck shortly before midnight on Monday, sending residents fleeing outside into below-freezing temperatures. Thousands of houses have been reported damaged, and state media said public infrastructure had been damaged “to varying degrees”. The death toll rose on Tuesday morning as rescuers reached affected areas. Gansu authorities said 105 people had died in the province, with 397 people injured. Qinghai reported 13 dead, 182 injured, and 20 still missing.

IDQWE001, since you dislike China so much, I suggest you don't waste your time here because only very, very few people would read your comments. You should instead post your comments on Hong Kong's South China Morning Post. Of course if you spew out too much venom, your toxic comments won't be published. You can also try to post on The Guardian.

You have no right to talk about this when almost all your posts were devoted to China bashing. Try to get some more balanced views from Kishore Mahbubani, George Yeo or Jeffrey Sachs.

IDQWE007, if you think only the main stream Western media are truthful, you should check with Jeffrey Sachs, a well known US university professor. Saddam Hussein certainly possessed weapons of mass destruction didn't he? Don't be naive to think that only the Chinese media are mendacious.

The death toll rose on Tuesday morning as rescuers reached affected areas. Gansu authorities said 113 people had died in the province, with 397 people injured. Qinghai reported 13 dead, 182 injured, and 20 still missing.

It is the deadliest earthquake in China since the 2010 Yushu quake hit Gansu and Qinghai, which measured 6.9 and killed at least 2,698 people.

State media characterised the rescue effort as a “race against time” because of a cold wave sweeping across China. The high-altitude area where the earthquake hit reported temperatures of -14C on Tuesday morning.

“Based on past rescues, the biggest difficulty of this operation is the local low temperature,” said Wang Duo, a team leader from the Gansu Houtian disaster rescue centre, according to China News Weekly.

“The earthquake was too intense,” said Wang Xi, the student who posted the images. “My legs went weak, especially when we ran downstairs from the dormitory.”

RESCUERS dug through rubble for a second freezing day today after overnight temperatures plunged well below zero, with the death toll in China’s deadliest earthquake in years rising to 131.

State broadcaster CCTV said at least 113 people were killed in north-western Gansu province and 18 more in neighbouring Qinghai after a shallow tremor on Monday night damaged thousands of buildings.

China, the manufacturing powerhouse, will produce whopping 30 million vehicles in 2023!

That includes nearly 9 million electric cars (70% EV + 30% PHEV).

This is due to 4th industrial revolution technologies (5G, robots, AI etc) as well as mastery of supply chain

It was not immediately clear whether the search in Qinghai had ended or not.

In Gansu, more than 207,000 homes were wrecked and nearly 15,000 houses collapsed, affecting more than 145,000 people. More than 128,000 emergency supply items including tents, quilts, tent lights and folding beds, were delivered while food such as steamed buns and instant noodles were provided to the victims.
