From Reuters
PARIS —
French medical charity Medecins sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) on Friday canceled an aid mission to China after the Communist authorities said there were no injured to treat.

Crouan said the Chinese authorities had refused 24 tons of medical supplies sent from France, and the consignment is still at Beijing airport.
