Chinese Charities Raise More for Tsunami

Many millions of Chinese people have been opening their wallets to help victims of the tsunami.

Charities nationwide have collected over 70 million yuan (over US$8 million) to help victims in the devastated countries.

A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Thursday that the Red Cross Society of China has collected 45 million yuan (about US$5 million) while the Chinese Charity Federation has received 30 million yuan, part of which has been sent to South Asia.

The Chinese government has just pledged an additional US$20 million in aid to the tsunami-hit countries.

This would bring the total government donation to US$83 million.
