In a mark of how out of touch the Chinese government is, the
propaganda chief of Beijing,
Lu Wei, has ordered Chinese media to “stick to good news about weekend floods”.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry when I read this.
What good news is this guy talking about? Is this about the 37
people who had died? Is about the lack of warning to the citizens? Is it about
the fact that waters rose to 2m in less than half an hour due to the city’s
poor drainage systems? Is it about how all these happened in the capital of China?
This is a disaster. This is a crisis and authorities want to
“focus” on good news? Man, how out of reality can you get?
