In 2008, during the Sichuan catastrophic earthquake, Hong Kong donated 22 billion yuan (US$3 billion) to China. However, a recent donation ranking from the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) media eradicates Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan from the list.
The 8.0 magnitude earthquake occurred in the central region of Sichuan, China, with many aftershocks, tearing down 75 percent of building structures in the affected area. It also wiped out villages, mountains, towns, and schools.
