The Peace Ark is very discriminating

The Peace Ark is a state-of-the-art Chinese hospital ship and a big one. It has 300 beds, 20 ICUs and 8 operating theatres,  It has just completed a cruise serving the needs of eight countries.  The Philippines are 1,200 miles from Shanghai, where the ship is berthed. Yet, it does not appear as though it will do anything to help with the disaster there.  I guess China's political dispute with the Philippines is more relevant to China's philosophy than helping people in unbelievable distress.

Update
China has had a change of heart and has sent the Peace Ark to the Philippines.
