There is yet another conclusion that can be drawn, which although less divine in origin, is almost equally sublime. China is Myanmar's biggest partner, and the only one who has the ears of the junta. But by the juxtaposition of these two natural disasters, China comes out smelling like a rose in comparision to the cartoon-villains in Myanmar (Burma). China not only cares about its citizens, it moves heaven and earth to rescue them, even flying its premier out to the disaster zone. The Burmese generals are not only afraid to leave their newly constructed fortress-capital, but are afraid that any outsider would take the credit for any rescue. There are even accounts of Burmese celebrities being forbidden to privately aid citizens (sort of an anti-good Samaritan rule). So the people can just perish.
