The video of the border crossing devastated by the flood is absent from the main Chinese networks.

A deadly landslide and subsequent flooding struck the border region between the Tibet Autonomous Region of China and Nepal this week, resulting in hundreds of individuals reported missing. Authorities have faced significant challenges in the rescue efforts, with operations temporarily suspended on Friday due to the high risk of further flooding caused by the formation of a natural lake in the area. By Sunday, officials reported the partial restoration of communications near the Gyirong border crossing, which sustained extensive damage during the disaster.

While international reports have circulated security camera footage depicting the destruction of the Gyirong crossing, the video has been notably absent or restricted on major Chinese social media platforms. The state broadcaster, CCTV, has provided updates regarding the geological risks and the ongoing efforts to manage the aftermath of the disaster.
