We joke, but because of the worst snow storms of the last 50 years, a quarter of a million folks who attempted to make it home to their families for Chinese New Years instead have been stranded for days without shelter at transportation centers. With more bad weather on the way and over one Chinese soldier for every stranded traveler and 4 times as many National Guard called up, the Chinese government called for faith, but brought in the boots.

Global warming/worst Chinese winter in 50 years. Godless Communist government calling for faith, with uniformed muscle on call. Surely something was lost in translation.
