Fire in Shanghai - 上海大火

Immediately after the much hyped World Expo, Shanghai suffered a big fire which resulted in at least 58 deaths so far.

Almost as soon as the fire burned out, the authority declared that they had detailed culprits, un-licensed welders. But the general contractors and its subcontractors have not been held responsible by the authorities, yet.

This strategy has been played out whenever there was a disaster, especially relating to the powerful and the rich. But Shanghai is different. Its citizens are much more sophisticated and demand more of their own rights. Perhaps, this time, those victims would not be silenced easily.

大肆宣传的世博会刚结束，上海就遭受了大火灾，至今为止至少58人死亡。

大火刚刚烧完，有关当局宣布，他们已经监禁了嫌犯，无证焊工。但是，当局至今还没有追究总承包商和分包商的责任。

每当有灾难，尤其是涉及到有权和有钱的，这一战略就发挥出效应。但上海是不同的。它的公民更见多识广和更要求维护自己的权利。也许，这一次，这些受害者不会被轻易沉默。
