China Assists in Oil Spill Cleanup

Much of this blog is devoted to beating up China. It's nice to be reminded that China serves as a positive force in the world.

China has sent two vessels to assist in a crude oil clean-up operation after a supertanker collided with another ship near the Republic of Korea (ROK) coastline, the Ministry of Communications said on its website on Friday.

Xu Zuyuan, vice minister of communications, said the two ships, carrying more than 65 tons of oil-absorbing materials and heavy equipment, left Qingdao port in the eastern province of Shandong on Thursday night.
