It turns out most terrible diseases in recent times and history originate from China so I think this could work nicely.
I'm going to be off topic, sorry about that, but I'm curious as to why the diseases tend to come from China? SARS and Avian Flu are two recent cases, but others such as AIDS and Ebola comes from Africa. I don't know about ancient diseases, but is there a reason why it comes from China? (I think it has something to do with the huge masses of people living in condensed area, but India also had a dense population in ancient times, right?)

Once again, sorry for being off topic... so to make up for it, I have never seen any disasters other than plagues. Maybe one storm or earthquake...
