Sichuan province suffered a major earthquake this morning (my time - 2:30ish PM local time). Sun has a sales and service office in the state capital of Chengdu and I sincerely hope that both our staff and their family and friends are safe.

I was in Chengdu in August 2006 doing research related to China's promotions efforts for the west of the country. The staff in Chengdu were extremely friendly and hospitable to me. We spent part of a day sight seeing and if my memory is correct, actually had lunch in Dujiangyan (or very close to) where a school has collapsed.

From what I have heard so far, Chengdu suffered only minor damage, so my hopes are high that all are safe. All the same, my best wishes to the staff.
