China has issued special postage stamps to showcase Chinese people's efforts to help the tsunami victims in South and Southeast Asian nations where Beijing launched its biggest-ever relief and aid operation.
The stamps have been issued by the State Post Bureau of China.
At the issuing ceremony, the head of State Post Bureau donated $ 240,964 to the Chinese Red Cross Association for tsunami victims on behalf of the postal staff across the country.
Chinese post bureaus have decided to forego the postage for tsunami donations since January 1, 2005.
