The last year leading up to the Olympics has taught us many things about China and reenforced some old lessons about what to expect from a one-party communist state. One thing in particular that China has had an unfortunate chance to display is their efficiency at disaster relief. As this article attest the Chinese don't fuck around when it comes to responding to a natural disaster. The real test comes in the long term aftermath where the response is measured in terms of how quickly life returns to normal for the residents of the disaster struck region. I don't foresee a state-run news outlet covering anything less than a complete victory.
