While the world’s media has been busy in the aftermath of Nepal’s earthquake recording the suffering of the Nepalese people, the rush to find survivors, and the arrival of aid, China’s state-run media has been busy hyping the care shown by the Chinese regime for the Chinese stranded there. Unfortunately, those reports are not true.
The Communist mouthpiece Xinhua News agency reported that three major Chinese airlines arranged flights on April 26—the day after the quake—that would transport relief supplies and rescue teams to Nepal and then help over 1,000 passengers travel from Kathmandu to China, including 683 Chinese tourists stuck in Nepal.
The Xinhua report headlined “After the Earthquake—Motherland, We Are Lucky to Have You!” said the first commercial Chinese airline to Nepal will bring “a full cabin of warmth” and return with “much envied Chinese.”
