[quote=GUESTLOVECHINA,290048]A smattering of complaints about foreign companies on Chinese blogs were drowned out by the outrage directed at domestic firms rumoured to have been tight-fisted.

Vanke, China's biggest listed developer, became the top target for bloggers, who accused it of forcing employees to limit disaster relief donations to just 10 yuan ($1.44).

Press reports subsequently carried forceful denials from Vanke, but bloggers were not deterred from attacking Wang Shi, the company's chairman, who is known for climbing Mount Everest.

"He has crossed all the world's tallest peaks, but he can't even take a step towards a tomb in Wenchuan," read one posting that circulated on Chinese blogs. Wenchuan is the city at the epicentre of last week's quake that killed more than 30,000.

Mr Wang was personally visiting the scene of devastation in Sichuan province and the property developer would help with reconstruction, China Business News said on Tuesday.

Blogs are notorious for eliciting extreme views. The body of opinion in Chinese stores appeared far more moderate.

Carrefour, for one, was crowded with shoppers, many pleased that the supermarket giant had donated more than 3 million yuan to disaster relief.
