Yesterday, at least 22 people were killed when a 5.8-magnitude earthquake hit southwest China's Yunnan province which borders on the country of Myanmar.
The epicentre of the quake, which struck at 12:58 p.m. local time, was located about 225 kilometres southwest of Dali. As this area is not popular with Western tourists, all of Chinapac’s clients currently in China have been reported safe from the damages of this event.
Vice President Xi Jinping, who many see as China’s next leader, called for an "all-out" effort to get food, water and clothing to those affected by the quake with more than 1,000 soldiers having been sent to aid in rescue efforts.
