Asians raise coin for quake victims
http://www.varietyasiaonline.com/content/view/6219/1/

From the Variety story:

The quake and its aftermath have substantially changed popular attitudes to China around the region and have largely silenced the criticism over Tibet, human rights and freedom of the press that had dogged the pre-Olympic build up.
Rather, Chinese authorities' willingness to let foreign media report from the disaster area has earned it praise.

Well, partial willingness at least . . .

An Associated Press reporter and two photographers covering the protest were dragged by the arms up the steps into the courthouse by police trying to prevent them from seeing the demonstration. They were held inside, along with two Japanese reporters, and questioned for a half-hour before being let go, after the protesters had been moved away.

Asked why reporters were removed from the courthouse, an official from the foreign affairs office of the local government, Zao Ming, said "this is not a good place to do interviews. ... In a disaster like this, there will be a lot of opinions. The government will solve their problems.''

The photo assistants in China really suit up. Looks like he moonlights as a HazMat tech and didn't have time to change before the shoot.
