Hao Hao ReportThe best China news and blog posts

The State Council has chosen the next three days (May 19-21) as national days of mourning, with all public activities stopped and flags will be raised to half-mast. Additionally, today at 2:28 pm (precisely one week after the quake first struck Sichuan), a 3-minute moment of silence will be observed across the country. We hope all Hao Hao Report readers will also take this opportunity to remember the victims of last week's unspeakable tragedy.
