Earthquake in China - K&C Factories? (1 Viewer)

[mk26gmls]

Does anyone here know if the major earthquake in China affected the area where the factories that produce K&C figures are located? What province of China are the factories located?

From the news reports, the quake hit provinces in the geographic center of the country, with its epicenter in Sichuan (Szechuan?), striking also Gansu and Shaanzi provinces.

I'm not as concerned with whether it affects K&C production as with whether all of our friends in the industry (the people who make our wonderful toys, the business owners, artistic designers, factory workers, sculpters, painters, etc. whom I collectively refer to as the K&C family, Figarti family and John Jenkins family) are okay. Anyone who has heard anything, please keep us posted.

As far as I know, the K&C factories are located in Shenzhen City, Guangzhou Province.
Not affected as such, but as the aftershock was felt in parts of Thailand 2000Km away from the epicentre, then I'm quite sure it was also felt in Shenzhen. Don't think Shanghai was affected.

Two of my nieces were near the affected area (my sister's family lives in Hong Kong) on a class trip and my sister was frantic for over an hour until she heard from one of her daughters (thank god for cell phones) and she called us tonight and said the girls were in Xian, waiting for a flight back to HK so thank goodness they were ok. A great relief to all of us, to say the least.

And so say all of us Brad.
First I heard of it was yesterday morning driving to Bangkok. Terrible events. Doesn't half restore a sense of perspective as to what's important in life.

I'm sorry I didn't e-mail you Brad, I didn't realize you and your wife had family members in the effected area. I'm glad to hear everyone was allright.

Guys, thanks for your concern. Emily and Stephanie just happened to be on a school trip. I'm assuming they'll be home soon.
