The Chinese don't care about anyone, except other Chinese. But they sent aid, because they need Burma's resources. I think they just don't have the planes to stage a big airlift operation.
The Russians don't care about anyone, even other Russians, as long as they get the respect they think is due, and they're not about to send aid to Burma, because Burma doesn't have anything to give them. That, and their airforce is decrepit.
The US at least has some noble sentiments when doing things like this - some, which is better than none, and it shows.
