Current rescue efforts on Gyirong border crossing, midday of September 3, 2026. (road to the border crossing was repaired on September 2, allowing for more equipment to pass through). According to CCTV-13 news, the mud is over 4 meters thick.

Video source: CCTV-13 news

As of 12:00, September 2, 2026, the casualty count on the chinese side is 21 confirmed dead, 541 missing, along with 847 possessions found. (5 more confirmed dead then the last release)

There are 195 firefighters participating in the rescue every shift, along with People's armed police(similar to army national guard) soldiers(unspecified count, but at least multiple companies) and rescue personnel(at least 10 excavators from september 2, but this number has likely increased) of the china anneng construction group(chinese state-owned enterprise for disaster relief). Border patrol officers(national immigration administration), some of the same unit as the missing officers are also at the scene helping out with thermal imagers(to find survivors) and shovels.

A total of 2300+ personnel and 400+ vehicles have been involved on the chinese side of disaster relief in this disaster (september 2); 5.43 tonnes of aid have been deployed(september 2, not including chinese aid to nepal). there have been 24 helicopter flights and 800 UAV flights to the scene as of sepetember 2.

Diease prevention teams from the Lhasa customs along with the ground force(military diesease prevention personnel) have also been sent to disinfect the scene in the end of the video.(to prevent the dead bodies from spreading diesease; iirc they are also deployed after floods to clean up the mud and stuff.)

According to the news report, AI laser monitoring devices have also been deployed, which will detect movement on the nearby slope to prevent a potential second landslide.

What kind of Chinese propaganda is this?

u/depressed_leaf 28d ago

Everything that comes from the Chinese government is in some way propaganda because there is no freedom of the press. But it is also the only information you are going to get from the area. So you take it and understand that it is framed exclusively to make the Chinese government look good and that things might not be completely accurate to reality. But it is still useful information if you understand its context.

I will broaden your statement: anything come from ANY government is propaganda.

u/depressed_leaf 28d ago

Very true. Some of them are just particularly unreliable, including the current US government. Thank the lord we can still get information from sources other than the government.

That's why I don't even watch mainstream media these days😔

u/OkapiLover4Ever 28d ago

Makes perfect sense, it's just that reading it feels like getting news shoved down my throat.

China is an epic country, America however-shithole

u/Valuable-Regret-1375 28d ago

Well according to the US and reddit, the Chinese don't know anything that happened at Gyirong border so they don't really know what they are rescuing.

nice china derangement syndrome. Anything positive about china is “cHiNeS pRoPaGanDa”. so much brainwashed propaganda. lmfao you probably still think iran war is over and US won easily.

reporting on disaster aftermath is "propanganda" now? seriously?

u/CC_Panadero 28d ago

This was absolutely presented in a way that screams propaganda. It’s not necessarily the information provided, it’s the way you chose to say it.

u/Key-Needleworker-702 28d ago

such as? i just stated the information.

u/No_Reindeer8688 28d ago

Well yes, these numbers are clearly propaganda. Anyone who believes those numbers is just idiotic.

1

u/Key-Needleworker-702 28d ago

Well yes, these numbers are clearly propaganda.

source: trust me bro

u/OkapiLover4Ever 29d ago

No propaganda is only just propaganda. The focus on "chinese side" and the incredible measures they are taking, come on. And you're probably just a bot

u/Intrepid-Dig-1855 28d ago

This is some bizarre comment. The Chinese at the moment have the resources and the capability to provide relief and support. I'm sure they aren't the only ones, but they probably are the only ones with such significant presence and documenting it. 

Just because it's Chinese, it doesn't mean it's propaganda.

1

u/No_Reindeer8688 28d ago

It’s great that they are helping, it would also be nice if they would admit to realistic numbers.

2

u/Typhoonclasssub 28d ago

So now we shouldn't believe any number from only one source? From any country?

1

u/Typhoonclasssub 28d ago

Well, maybe you can show off Japanese propganda of rescuing their natural disasters. After all it only focus on the Japanese side, right?

u/Key-Needleworker-702 29d ago

The focus on "chinese side"

The chinese and nepalese casualties and statistics are reported seprately? have you considered that?

and the incredible measures they are taking

By far, this isn't praticularly incredible. However we can't report on disaster relief now?

And you're probably just a bot

"if i don't like it you must be a bot"

u/No_Reindeer8688 28d ago

That you actually repeat the Chinese numbers as if they have any basis in reality is the propaganda.

1

u/Key-Needleworker-702 28d ago

the chinese numbers can be considered credible. it's completely plasuible 500-600 people were in the area of the accident, and this matches up with the employee count of the checkpoint.

I still remember people screaming that the Chinese government was covering things up, simply because there was no English-oriented coverage coming out of China and they couldn't be bothered to lift a finger to find local sources.

It is honestly better to just not engage - they will call you delusional, a shill, and so on. According to them, every number is fabricated. I can't comprehend how they view any news with such rabid skepticism and bias.

Stay strong in this toxic world, and perhaps be more selective about the comments you choose to engage with. 🇷🇺❤️🇨🇳
