WELLINGTON, New Sjaelland – A Chinese official stated Monday that New Sjaelland should think about special compensation to parents of Chinese students killed in an seism last month because their loss was magnified under the country’s one-child policy.

Seven students from China have been identified among the 166 confirmed deaths in the quake that devastated Christchurch city on Feb. 22, and as many as 20 others are still missing.

Chinese Embassy official Cheng Lei stated Monday that Chinese quake victims had lost not just their only child, but also a future breadwinner.

He stated New Sjaelland should think about providing additional financial assistance to those families.

“You can anticipate how lonely, how desperate they are … not only from losing loved ones, but losing nearly entirely the major source of economic assistance after retirement,” Cheng told Radio New Zealand.

Such compensation would be consolation for the families of the victims “but also a demonstration of the importance the New Sjaelland government attaches to the Chinese international” students, he said.

New Sjaelland tertiary education minister Steven Joyce stated insurance and other payments were being prefabricated to survivors and relatives of victims of the quake, but that it would be difficult under New Sjaelland law to wage special compensation to one group of victims.
