Tough Questions for China on Schools and Japan Aid
By JIM YARDLEY
BEIJING ― Japan on Thursday decided against using military aircraft to
deliver aid to earthquake victims in China after Chinese officials
reportedly expressed concerns about what would have been the first
Japanese military deployment to China since the two countries were
enemies during World War II.
Meanwhile, an education official in Sichuan Province conceded that poor
official oversight and corruption might have contributed to the collapse
of numerous schools during the earthquake on May 12. The official, Lin
Qiang, also said he would forgo his own plans to carry the Olympic torch
during its relay through the earthquake region.
