In recent days, torrential rains in southern China have broken records, and there are local reservoirs without warning of flooding, resulting in casualties, but officials have not mentioned this. At the same time, the north faced the largest range of high-temperature weather and the covid outbreak that seemed to be making a comeback. Some people in the disaster areas complained that the CCP official printed media (referring to People's Daily, China Xinhua News, The Global Times) did not report on the domestic disasters but paid attention to the protests in the United States.

Since June 2020, heavy rains in southern China have affected millions of people in 12 provinces, especially in Guangxi.

Officials of the Communist Party of China stated that China has now entered the flood season. There are about 150 rivers in the country that exceed the warning line. The Xijiang and Beijiang rivers in the Pearl River Basin have the first flood this year.

Flooding caused urban flooding, house collapse, road collapse, landslides, and crop damage. On the Internet, the videos and photos released by the victims in various places were shocking. Some streets were surrounded by flood waters and vehicles were washed away. In some places, the floods were only left with devastation, and the disaster situation in various places continued to expand.

A China Communist Party (CCP) official said earlier that the three major flood risks this year include excessive floods, reservoir failures and mountain flood disasters. However, the people in Guilin, Guangxi revealed that the local reservoir had been flooded without warning, causing significant loss of life and property, but the officials claimed that there were no casualties.

In Lipu City, Guilin, Guangxi, and Yangshuo, Pingle and other places, the flood discharge of the largest Qingshitan Reservoir in the local area caused huge floods due to multiple consecutive days of heavy rain. In addition, a small reservoir dam broke, causing flooding in many places.

Ms. Chen, a disaster victim in Shuangjiang Township, said that there is no early warning of the flood discharge of the reservoir. The flood washed away everything, including many people and cars. The local 90-year-old man has never seen such large water. Now everything can only be done from scratch, the government has no relief, and the next day I get a little bread and water.


Mr. Wang, a disaster victim in Maling Township, criticized this flood disaster not as a natural disaster but as a human disaster. The government concealed the disaster and did nothing. The relief materials were scarce and insufficient to distribute.

Mr. Wang, a disaster victim in Maling Township, said, "It's not artificial. The reservoir has been flooded without notice. Both sides of a river have been damaged. The houses have been flooded. They have collapsed. The village above us was really serious. There were mudslides. He said that there were no casualties. The government pressed it down and did not report it. I know there are a few. One of them is from the same village. He died in his 20s this year. The flood pushed."

Guangdong Province is also severely affected by floods, and many places are surrounded by floods, but the Chinese Communist Party's official media deliberately downplayed such severe floods.

Mr. Zeng, Huizhou, Guangdong, said, "The area of ​​the dip is very large, many cars have been flooded, and the house has collapsed. The drainage system is definitely problematic. Once a year, there is no solution once it passes. Many governments have failed. Oh, I didn’t even see the report. I didn’t even see the disaster relief. There were a lot of reports about the African Americans. We didn’t report the dead here.”

Some netizens said that among the top 50 Weibo searches, only one was related to the flood situation in the south, and all of them were taken in one stroke. It was understated, but there were 7 hot searches about American riots.

At the same time as the flood in the south, many provinces and cities in the north experienced the largest range of high-temperature weather this year. Since the beginning of June, large-scale persistent high-temperature weather has appeared in North China, Huanghuai, Shaanxi, Northeast, Inner Mongolia and other places, and the intensity will also be upgraded, with local areas exceeding 40°C. This round of high temperature will still be the type of exposure and dry heat. The surface temperature in the afternoon may be 50-60 ℃, and even exceed 70 ℃ in local areas.

In addition to the hot weather, northern cities are still shrouded in the shadow of the epidemic.

Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province, recently conducted a nucleic acid test on 650,000 people in the city. Although the official announced that there were no confirmed cases, it adopted stricter epidemic prevention measures. Like Wuhan in the closure of the city, this made the public suspect that the government concealed the actual epidemic situation.

Yuming, a friend of the press, reported that more than 600 cases of asymptomatic infections have been detected in Mudanjiang. This is just a few figures from the official source.

Yu Ming said that many local communities do not allow vehicles to enter, residents do not allow entry without the health code of the community, and there are cluster infections in hospitals and schools, but the official media are all silent.

In Beijing, there have been daily reports of newly diagnosed covid patients.

The newly-increased patients in Fengtai District are employees of China Meat and Food Comprehensive Research Center. One of them went to Beijing and other overseas wholesale markets and farmer's markets for food inspection sampling from the end of May.

At present, the official said that all markets where patients are involved have been suspended, and some have been closed. Among the nucleic acid detection results of nearly 2,000 relevant market practitioners, 45 had nasopharyngeal swabs that were positive.

After consecutive confirmed cases, the Beijing Municipal Education Commission informed that pupils of primary 1 to 3 are not to return to schools originally scheduled for 15 June 2020, and that off-campus training institutions cannot resume offline courses and collective activities. Beijing Fengtai District has announced the closure of 11 communities and schools, and has closed six wholesale markets.

The Dalian Center for Disease Prevention & Control also issued an emergency reminder through the official Weibo of the Information Office of the Dalian Municipal Government of the Communist Party of China: If not necessary, do not go to Beijing in the near future. People are worried about the true situation of the Beijing epidemic.
