Why did the China earthquake happen? (Updated)

Updated 06 Feb 2009 from New York Times article:

“A Columbia University scientist who studied the quake has said that it may have been triggered by the weight of 320 million tons of water in the Zipingpu Reservoir less than a mile from a well-known major fault. His conclusions, presented to the American Geophysical Union in December, coincide with a new finding by Chinese geophysicists that the dam caused significant seismic changes before the earthquake.”

So, how will our Central Government and ‘top’ scientists react?
