While the human toll in Nepal rises daily, Chinese state media reported an increase in the death count from three to sixteen as of yesterday. How is this possible? Yet, early videos showed hundreds of people being swept away by the flood at the Kyirong port and in other areas in Kyirong. This is their way of concealing the truth by preventing international journalists, scientists, and independent researchers from investigating the real causes of these deadly floods—just as China did during the Dingri earthquake and the COVID-19 pandemic.
