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.

In Qinghai's quake-hit Haidong, Du Haiyi said his family home had been completely levelled.

The 21-year-old told Reuters he had managed to save his mother and 16-year-old sister, who were trapped under debris the night of the quake.

"My parents were pulled out from underneath this, but I don't know how," Du said. "We ran to wherever we could."

Deploying rescuers to provide food, water, and temporary shelter to so many victims in subzero temperatures is a significant problem.

Recovery from natural disasters is China's and CCP specialty....don't have to worry about that for China and the CCP. They will do it in record time and humanly possible

First responders erected tents to shelter those who lost their homes, and images show people crowding around outdoor fires for warmth.

Rescuers are still searching through the rubble, but the quake currently stands as the most deadly in the country since 2014, when 617 people died in a southern China earthquake.

Xi's policy shift on investment priorities comprehensively moved China into high end manufacturing.

From semiconductor breakthroughs helped by the Big Fund
To aeroengine self-sufficiency by the establishment AECC.
To propelling the Chinese EV industry to global leadership.

"You are a rubbish whom decide what is rubbish."
Let see who is a rubbish. You have posted a total of 2846 comments, almost entirely, I repeat, almost entirely devoted to China bashing. Your hatred for China is pathological. You should seek medical treatment immediately. Take care of yourself first instead of worrying about Gansu's quake victims. The Chinese government will know how to take care of the victims.

Chinese earthquake victims pulled to safety in sub-zero cold

Braving sub-zero cold, rescuers on Wednesday pulled to safety victims of an earthquake that rocked a remote area in China's northwestern Gansu province, while survivors faced months of uncertainty ahead without permanent shelter.

The magnitude 6.2 earthquake jolted Jishishan county near the border straddling Gansu and Qinghai provinces a minute before midnight on Monday, sending frightened residents out of homes into the cold in the dead of the night. Roads, power and water lines and agricultural production facilities suffered damage, and the quake triggered land and mudslides.

In Gansu, 113 people had been found dead as of 9 a.m. on Wednesday (0100 GMT) and 782 were injured, authorities said. The death toll in neighbouring Qinghai rose to 21 with 186 injured and 13 missing as of 4 p.m. on Wednesday.
Seventy-eight people have been found alive in Gansu, where rescue operations ended on Tuesday afternoon, Chinese media said, as the focus shifted to treating the wounded and resettling residents as a months-long winter loomed.

"Earthquake in China’s Qinghai Triggers Mudslides, Collapsing 360,000 Tofu-Dreg Buildings"
China detractors/haters like to inflate figures but no one believes them. Qinghai has a small population of under 6 million. It is more likely that 3,600 buildings have collapsed due to the quake. 360,000 homes in Gaza might have been destroyed due to Israel's bombings and missile strikes.

"The evil who killed the most Chinese in history."
Because your Western masters told you so? Heard of the Great Indian Famines? 60 million Indians perished as a result. Who was responsible?

I like a china with Mao picture in Beijing.

It's shows a great country with self confidence. Shows the forgiving nature of Chinese for the greater good. That unity trumps all. That the great helmsman must be honoured. That dead men can still serve China. Chinese can accept the fallibility of men , no man is perfect but on balance mao deserves to be honoured. That China has eyes fixed on the future and what is good for China , that Mao is still loved very much especially in poorer regions of China. That Russia made a big mistake in removing statures of Stalin. That China values inclusiveness that because man is fallible, in order to evaluate a person's true worth, the intentions are important considerations, the achievements must be celebrated and not just focus on the negatives.

I think it's a good culture to value the positives and just focus on the negatives. After all man is not infallible. It's important for the future of China and important for unity that the great helmsman birthday is celebrated...Mao has made great contributions to China and that cannot be ignored

All the negatives on China come from two principle sources. The Taiwan independence movement and from America who cannot accept China as equals.

Confucian values China values not short on morals. In fact it's based on morals. On being thrifty, self development, hard work, education and learning and peace.

America success based on imperialism, wars, creating enemies where non exists, over spending, money printing, weapons of war.

In the long run China will win
