Emanuel Pastreich, Director of the Asia Institute at the SolBridge School of Business in Daejeon, South Korea and a senior fellow at the US-Japan-China Comparative Policy Research Institute (CPRI), and John Feffer, the co-director of Foreign Policy In Focus at the Institute for Policy Studies, write, “In that spirit of compassion, let us rebuild Wenchuan, the victim of an act of nature, with an eye toward rebuilding all of our cities, the victims of our blind embrace of unsustainable growth.”

Victor Cha, Director of Asian Studies at Georgetown University, adjunct Senior Fellow at the Pacific Council for International Policy, and former director of Asian Affairs for the U.S. National Security Council, writes, “It would be completely irresponsible not to have a quiet discussion among concerned governments about how to deal with potential North Korean instability… it has to be done — and done well — before the next rumor proves to be true.”
