Philippines To China... Thanks, but no thanks. (CNSNews) – China on Wednesday increased its offer of aid to Typhoon Haiyan victims in the Philippines after an earlier pledge of $100,000 prompted derisive headlines and commentary about a lost opportunity to show goodwill in a region troubled by its belligerent behavior in the South China Sea. With a U.S. aircraft carrier group making way towards the Philippines in a powerful show of humanitarian support, Beijing’s embassy in Manila announced that China would provide relief supplies worth 10 million renmimbi ($1.6 million), including blankets and tents. Um, dear Commies, it cost us more just to move that carrier group to the Philippines than it did for you to offer even this. cnsnews/news/article/patrick-goodenough/us-aircraft-carrier-nears-stricken-philippines-china-ups-its-offer
