According to a report by the U.S. trade group Security Industry Association, China spent approximately USD 6.2 billion on security between 2004 and 2007.

Sichuan Earthquake Survivors – Photos
In Dujiangyan, I met a group of migrant construction workers taking a lunch break. They have been working in the earthquake zone for a month now, working to clear out the thousands of tons of rubble the earthquake left behind. This man told me he would return to his home province Shaanxi in August, in time to help his family with the harvest.
