Foreign companies defend China earthquake aid
Foreign companies are defending themselves against accusations spread on Chinese Web sites that they are doing too little to help earthquake survivors.
Online comments called for boycotts of McDonald's, Wal-Mart, Nokia and others _ in one case calling them 'International Super-Misers' _ but companies said they felt no impact.
'We feel very proud of what we've done. We've done a lot,' said Thomas Jonsson, a spokesman for Nokia Corp., which donated food, tents and mobile phones for rescuers. On Wednesday, it pledged 35 million yuan ($5 million) for reconstruction.
