The earthquake on the afternoon of May 12 not only drew intense attention within China but also became a focal point for people around the world. Whether it was CNN, The New York Times, Time Magazine, or The Washington Post in the U.S., or the BBC and Le Monde in Europe, all placed this earthquake on the front page of their websites. CNN even provided ways to offer assistance and reported that Bush had already announced that the U.S. would provide emergency aid to China. Their tone in this coverage was entirely different from their previous anti-China stance; instead, it was filled with sympathy for China and strongly focused on the 900 children trapped under the rubble.
