[Families of missing pilgrims in Tibet demand answers from China](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/families-of-missing-pilgrims-in-tibet-demand-answers-from-china/ar-AA2bD5XQ) > ""There is no information on the China side," said Choudhary's brother Tarun. "We can't go to China and talk to anyone, so I'm not able to understand how things are... There is no update from China about what is happening at Ground Zero, what is the situation over there.""
--- Welcome to China, where the state knows every little detail about the movements of foreigners, but suddenly doesn't have any information in case of actual emergencies.
> "The mudslide that devastated the Tibet-Nepal border last week killed more than 1,300 people with more than 5,600 missing on both sides. In Tibet, at least 31 people have been confirmed dead and 531 are missing in all, state news agency Xinhua reported on Friday."
--- We've crossed a milestone, more than 30 dead. But then again, this is not that much of a surprise because the central government is already involved. And usually local governments do not report anything above 30 because then they need to involve the central government, which they don't want to. Which doesn't mean the number is actually reliable, not at all.
> "China called diplomats from countries with missing citizens reported in Nepal for a briefing last week in Beijing. Diplomats who attended said Beijing shared no details on how it planned to proceed with DNA identification of victims. In addition, China has not offered to provide video from its side of the land port, including facial-recognition images, that could be shared with families or used in identifying the dead, diplomats in contact with China's foreign ministry said."
--- Because if China would provide said information, people would have proof how many people are actually missing and probably dead. China does not want you to know that.
s.a.: [In Tibet, flood-hit families search for the missing and grapple with China’s silence](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/04/nepal-tibet-floods-disaster-search-for-missing-china-censorship)
[Climate injustices have been laid bare in the Nepal-Tibet flood disaster](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/03/climate-injustices-have-been-laid-bare-in-the-nepal-tibet-flood-disaster) > "They reflect accelerating climate disruption that disproportionately affects the countries and people that are least responsible for global emissions."
--- China?
> "Events like these are not “natural disasters”. They are due to global warming and climate injustices"
--- Bullshit, these are natural disasters. They happen with or without global warming. Global warming only increases the frequency of such disasters. Speaking of natural disasters...
[Nearly 600,000 evacuated in China’s Fujian as typhoon Saudel hits](https://www.today.az/news/regions/270024.html) > "Heavy rains subsequently triggered a landslide in Suichuan County, Jiangxi, early Saturday. One person was confirmed dead and 11 others remained missing, while about a dozen houses were damaged."
--- Just another day in China, which would be big news almost anywhere else.
[China hits back at G20 statement on its reliance on exports, accusing them of ‘promoting protectionism’](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/03/china-g20-exports-trade.html) > "“China believes that taking advantage of the G20 and other multilateral mechanisms to hype up so-called ‘economic imbalances’ and ‘overcapacity’ is essentially promoting protectionism,” Ling Huang, Commerce Ministry spokesperson, said"
--- Yeah, well, maybe they would not be promoting protectionism if China wouldn't use so much protectionism itself.
['Anti-fast-fashion' law: France rejects China's discrimination claims](https://www.euronews.com/business/2026/09/03/anti-fast-fashion-law-foreign-ministry-denies-any-discrimination-against-china) > ""China urges France to immediately halt the implementation of the anti-ultra-fast fashion law," said Huang, adding that China stands in "firm opposition to France's insistence on pushing forward this trade-restrictive measure, which is clearly discriminatory"."
--- Note how quickly China forgets to be the environmental champion when it is about exporting cheap crap.
> "Under France's new legislation, what counts as "ultra-fast fashion" is determined on the basis of two sets of criteria: the volume of clothing placed on the market and the cost of repairing garments relative to their purchase price."
--- 'That's so unfair! How are we supposed to dump our crap on Europe if you level the playing field? This stuff is not made to be repaired, just to be thrown away.'
[Anthropic’s distillation battle turns to the dark web as China concerns swell](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/03/anthropic-distillation-battle-turns-to-dark-web-china-concerns-swell.html) > "Anthropic is singling out Chinese AI lab Moonshot AI as one of the companies it says is ripping off its technology. Moonshot’s Kimi K3 model took the tech world by storm in July with its cheaper, frontier-level AI offering. It’s been widely adopted in Silicon Valley, thanks in part to its lower price point and ability for companies to tailor it more easily. Klein said Kimi K3 was illegally trained off the newest version of Claude. “We’ve seen a fair amount of this from China,”"
--- Fair competition with Chinese characteristics.

[Technikmesse IFA startet - China im Fokus](https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/regional/berlin/technikmesse-ifa-100.html) > "Was einmal als Schaufenster deutscher Technik begann, ist heute Bühne für eine globale Industrie."
--- Diese rein deutschen Anfänge liegen aber schon sehr weit zurück. Ab 1971 hieß die Veranstaltung ja nicht umsonst IFA. Das war die internationale Funkausstellung.
> "Als Willy Brandt auf der IFA 1967"
--- Aber 1967 zum Beispiel hieß es noch nicht IFA, sondern es war die Große Deutsche Funkausstellung. Ach, die deutsche Journaille...
> "China hat in den letzten vielen Jahren ganz gezielt darauf hingearbeitet, Innovationen nachhaltiger zu machen, hat auf Trends reagiert, hat verstanden, dass man auch Design und Langlebigkeit mit einbeziehen muss"
