Chinese philanthropist donates 5,000 computers

Chinese entrepreneur and philanthropist Chen Guangbiao will donate 5,000 computers, worth CNY 16 million (US$2.35m), to areas in Western China. Mr. Chen indicated that Zhouqu County will be one of the principal beneficiaries, with the computers to be used to support rescue and recovery efforts currently underway there, following devastating mudslides last week. Some of the computers will also be donated to schools in remote parts of Xinjiang, Qinghai, Yunnan, Sichuan and Shanxi provinces.
