The Chinese evacuated 600,000 people before Typhoon Talim YESTERDAY. It's not like most of those people have cars. Yet the Chinese were prepared.

Meanwhile, in this country, Patrick Rhode, FEMA's deputy director, insisted that "this has been probably one of the most efficient and effective responses in the country's history."

I see one country whose leaders aren't delusional, and it's not ours. Typhoon Talim. USA bested by the "commies". Hang your heads in shame, FEMA hacks.

It's over, people. I pledge allegiance to President Hu. Maybe he can annex us when he visits next week.

Only the cartoon squirrel has it figured out.

I think one of the difference here is that the Chinese government "ordered" the evacuation, and no one in the US is going to "order' an half a million people to evacuate. Also they were in different provinces not in one city.

What a comparison, in China if the people didnt want to leave they just shoot them in the back.
