I think you and many other posters or readers are missing the point of this photo editorial. This isn't the disaster olympics. There are people who still live here, and thousands of people who used to live here who were largely farmers and forced to find new homes. The reason this will be discussed 10 years from now is because there will still be people actively affected 10 years from now. And probably just papers from Tohoku anyway. And finally, the reason you don't hear issues from China being discussed all that often is because of their national policy and attitudes.
