We care about the Chinese earthquake

why? try this

1. Quakes are uncommon, compared to cyclones which occur very often, including in the western world (which apparently matters more), especially in cyclone season.

2. Compared to the Huai river disaster in the Henan province, this was a natural disaster, as opposed to human error combined with the right circumstances, and is therefore not our fault. Yes, it is no ones fault, but honestly, we can sacrifice the pride of a few people when 1.5 million have died. No?
