With the worst snow storms seen in China for decades still battering the country, questions are being raised about the government's ability to handle the crisis.

The authorities say they've mobilised a million troops to help with the chaos, and electrical workers have been struggling to restore power in blacked-out cities.Saturday,2.February.2008
