NEPAL FLOOD: CHINA LAUNCHES RESCUE MISSION; NED GROUPS SEIZE OPPORTUNITY TO DEMONIZE CHINA

The first pilots from the China rescue mission to reach the Nepal Border Station were stunned at what they saw.

Nothing.

The border building had gone. The office building had gone. The car park full of coaches and cars was gone. The roads were gone.

But most shocking, the people had gone – literally hundreds of people who used the border crossing or worked there – it had all been swept away. All that remained was bare rock, with not one brick left standing on another.

.

RESCUE OPERATION LAUNCHED
A huge operation had been launched to save people after a fast-moving ocean of mud and rock had slammed through a valley on the border of China and Nepal.

More than 450 bodies had been found and more than 1,000 more people were still missing, with at least 500 missing on the Tibet side of the border.

.

NED’S TIBET GROUPS SPRING INTO ACTION
But while rescue workers from China and elsewhere were hard at work, something else had happened.

The China demonizers swung into action, trying desperately to politicize the tragedy.

These people were not expressing sadness for the lost individuals or care for the survivors. They were openly hunting for a way to blame China.

Nepalese citizen Gus Ferguson, a musician, was one of many who spotted this.

He wrote: “Empathy and Sympathy for the Victims of this Catastrophe? Not. a. Word. Just anti China propaganda.”

.

EXAMPLES [on the video]
International Campaign for Tibet, and the groups associated with it, are not showing no care for the victims, they’re mainly just happy to have an opportunity to take a dig at China.

Same with others, like this
And this
And this
And this
And this.

.

WHO FINANCES THEM?
Who finances International Campaign for Tibet?

Oh look, it’s the NED, described by the US government as a body that “destabilizes sovereign goverments”.

Who finances Students for a Free Tibet?

Oh look, it’s also the NED.

Don’t let them fool you.
Stay smart – stay skeptical.

Why didn't Nepal get the glacier info from NASA, their data-sharing partner in disaster response technology?

[CGTN Frontline @Frontlinestory]

A broadcast on August 31 marked the first live report from the Gyirong land port since disaster struck the China-Nepal border on August 26.

It showed a few key details about ongoing rescue operations in the worst-hit area on the Chinese side:

1. Communications have been restored after an emergency base station was installed about 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) from the port the previous day.

2. The ground at Gyirong port is waist-deep mud, on top of layers of sand and rock, making every step difficult.

3. Radar life detectors and search dogs are being used to search for signs of life beneath the debris.

4. A water tower on a hillside is reportedly the only structure still visible, while only the foundation remains of the port’s main building.

5. Helicopters are transporting rescuers and supplies to the port, while crews work to restore the final kilometer of road corridor.

Tuesday marks the seventh day since the disaster struck. Amid difficult conditions and diminishing hopes of finding survivors, search and rescue operations continue.

The West’s Rule: If China Shows It, It’s Propaganda. If China Doesn’t Show It, It’s Censorship 🇨🇳

The Telegraph and BBC are showing CCTV footage from a Chinese border camera as "proof" that China is censoring a disaster.

I live in China. The Gyirong disaster has been all over Chinese news and social media since Wednesday: daily casualty figures, press conferences in Gyirong county, scientific briefings on the cause, rescue footage and two 24-hour English hotlines for foreign families.

They even named the immigration officer who stood at his post directing people out while everyone else ran. His name is Huang Peng and he is still on the missing list. None of that fits the “Beijing deleted the truth” lies.

What happened is not a mystery: At 10:52am on 26 August a glacier on Nepal’s Langtang Lirung fractured at about 5,200 metres. The ice and rock dropped, scoured the slope and became a debris flow. It covered 22 kilometres in six to seven minutes and hit Gyirong Port at 1,800 metres. The Chinese Academy of Sciences mapped the whole event, the USGS has since confirmed the early “earthquake” reading was the landslide itself. That is science, not a cover-up.

On the Chinese side the latest count is 16 dead and 546 missing, including 261 foreign nationals from 23 countries. Four hundred and ninety-nine villagers were moved out of risk zones. Five hundred and fifty-five domestic tourists were transferred out. More than 2,100 rescuers are in the mud with dogs, boats, drones and helicopters.

Xi Jinping convened the Politburo and Li Qiang went to Gyirong himself. Two Y-20 transport planes flew 50 tonnes of supplies into Nepal. All of it is public.

Yes, the raw CCTV of people running from the wall of mud did not stay on loop on Weibo and Douyin. That is not the same as “China censored the floods”. Chinese media does not treat dying people as content, but the West does. “If it bleeds, it leads.”

Here the instinct runs the other way: report the numbers, show the rescue, do not replay the last seconds of someone’s life for engagement. You can call that respect, but do not call it an absence of coverage when Xinhua, CCTV and CGTN have been running the disaster and the rescue in public for five days.

The Telegraph quotes a former Nepali MP asking what Beijing is “trying to hide”. The BBC leans on the International Campaign for Tibet and runs an even stranger line: the footage “spread widely around the world, but not in China”. It spread around the world because it came off Chinese cameras and the still everyone is using came from Chinese state media.

The BBC’s own article concedes Beijing has published daily casualty figures and rescue progress since day one and notes how rarely a Chinese premier reaches a disaster zone this fast. Its real grievance is that nobody in China is replaying the last seconds of someone’s life and no survivor is being put on air to sell the story. That is what they are calling censorship: the refusal to turn the dead into content.

The smear campaign writes itself: disaster in Xizang, therefore concealment, therefore politics. A glacial collapse that started on the Nepalese side becomes another lecture about transparency.

Living here in China you watch the same pattern:
A natural disaster on a high Himalayan border becomes a morality play about the CPC, while the rescue is pushed to the background. The dignity rule is recast as guilt and the actual work in waist-deep silt is treated as suspicious because it is not packaged the way London and Washington package grief.

China is not hiding a flood that its own cameras recorded, it is refusing to turn the dead into a product. The West cannot tell the difference and that is the real story.

When a disaster gets used to prosecute a country instead of understand a disaster, who exactly is being dishonest?

The @BBCWorld @bbcchinese and @Telegraph are a joke and lets not forget Laura Bicker, who lives in Beijing, is an excuse for a journalist.

[James Wood 武杰士 @commiepommie]

Western media are reporting that the recent Nepal and Xizang (Tibet) flood is being censored in China.
I am in China and this is all over the media, as well as social media.
What you won't see here though, are the bodies and grieving families.
This is the difference between Chinese and Western media.

@BBCWorld @ABCaustralia

[Nury Vittachi @NuryVittachi]

THREE SHOCKING THINGS in today’s attack on China in the UK Guardian:

1. The Guardian quotes what it says is a Tibetan group. But it’s not Tibetan—we traced its real address.

2. The paper hides any mention of that group’s funding—a fact that makes all the difference.

3. The paper highlights a quote from a woman in the United States—a woman who doesn’t seem to exist

Actually, there’s a fourth thing: when you see the name of the journalist who wrote it, that in itself tells a story.

.

ADDRESS OF “TIBETAN GROUP”
First, the report in the Guardian: “China is concealing scale of flood disaster, say Tibet campaigners”, the headline says.

The article is based on a statement from what the paper says is “a Tibetan advocacy group”.

Except it isn’t a Tibetan advocacy group. It’s a group listed at this address. [see video]

Let’s take a look. Oh it’s in Washington DC, right near the White House. What a surprise.

.

A U.S. GOVT OP
Who funds it? When we go through funding documents we see an intimate, long-term relationship with the US government, and particularly the notorious National Endowment for Democracy, a CIA spin-off which the US government itself described as a body which works around the world to “destabilize sovereign governments” – that’s from the 2027 budget proposal.

I note that it is associated with Radio Free Asia, which has nothing to do with radios, freedom or Asia. It’s an anti-China propaganda unit also from Washington DC.

Now if the Guardian had the honesty to include these facts, it would immediately tell the reader the correct way to interpret this report.

So why are these facts hidden? Why is it that the Guardian doesn’t want its readers to know the truth?

.

WOMAN WITH NO FACE
The paper then quotes “Maya Wang” of Human Rights Watch.

Maya Wang does not appear to exist. There are no photographs of her, no videos, and she makes speeches in front of various audiences but does not seem to allow photography.

Why? Her former contacts in Hong Kong tell me she uses the fake name because she is really Yatman Kern, wife of the infamous yellowface hoaxer Brian Kern.

.

OPPORTUNITY
Now, I’ve made that point publicly several times, and no one from Human Rights Watch has ever denied it. It would be easy to do.

So this is ANOTHER opportunity. If a person genuinely named Maya Wang works at HRW, please tell me. I am all ears.

Brian Kern became infamous when he pretended to be a Hong Kong-born Chinese and gave quotes to all the western mainstream media speaking on behalf of the Hong Kong people during the riots of 2019.

He was exposed as a white guy in yellowface by this reporter and the Grayzone. Here’s a headline: “Western Media's Fav Hong Kong 'Freedom Struggle Writer' is American ex amnesty staffer in yellowface.”

.

FOREIGN JOURNALISTS
The UK paper says foreign journalists are refused entry visas by the Chinese. Well, big deal. Chinese journalists are refused entry visas by the UK—that happens regularly. Why doesn’t the reporter cover that topic?

Let’s look at the reporter: Danny Vincent of Hong Kong. He’s been in the news in Hong Kong recently. That’s because he’s associated with the leadership of the Hong Kong Journalists Association.

That group used to represent Hong Kong Journalists, but is now seen as a group allied to western bodies hostile to China.

Too many international journalists produce work that OMITS KEY INFORMATION, misleading their readers.

This is the perfect example – it should be used in journalism schools.

Don’t be fooled. The truth matters.

Peace.

Israeli soldiers shoot into a Palestinian family's car in the illegally occupied West Bank. Khaled, 11, sees his two brothers, 5 and 7, killed by the bullets, and watches his mum and dad bleed to death.

Soldiers, shouting 'We killed some dogs', grab the boy, beat him and yell 'Liar!' when he says the others in the car were his family.

Another normal day in the West Bank.
