中國吉隆口岸洪災:官方首次安排國際媒體進入災區採訪

Quick Look

中國與尼泊爾邊境吉隆口岸於8月26日發生毀滅性洪災,造成逾千人死亡,數千人失蹤。中國政府遲遲未公布死傷消息,並限制外國記者進入災區。9月5日,中國首次安排十多家國際媒體進入吉隆災區採訪,官方稱截至5日晚間6時確認死亡43人,失蹤519人,其中261人為外國人。CNN形容此次採訪為官方「精心安排」的行程,旨在展示救援行動,但強調報導內容仍由媒體自行決定。外媒此前無法自由進入西藏採訪,形成與尼泊爾一側持續報導的強烈對比。中國當局尚未完整公布失聯人員姓名名單,引發資訊透明度質疑。北京官方強調資訊發布「公開、透明、及時」,並稱已通過多種方式核查身分。CNN記者報導災區景象如月球表面,吉隆口岸邊境檢查站幾乎完全消失,尚未發現倖存者。美國駐中國大使館曾要求中方提供更多資訊。

Why It Matters

中國與尼泊爾邊境吉隆口岸於8月26日發生毀滅性洪災。相較於尼泊爾持續更新災情,中方遲遲未公布死傷消息,且限制外國記者自由進入災區報導。事發逾10天後,中國政府9月5日首度安排十多家國際媒體進入災區採訪。

中國與尼泊爾邊境8月26日爆發毀滅性洪災,造成逾千人死亡,數千人失蹤。相較於尼泊爾持續更新災情,中方遲遲未公布死傷消息,且限制外國記者自由進入災區報導。事發逾10天後,中國政府9月5日首度安排十多家國際媒體進入災區採訪,而有線電視新聞網(CNN)形容這是一場由官方「精心安排」的行程,旨在展示吉隆口岸的救援行動。

據中國官媒《新華社》,中國國務院新聞辦公室會同外交部9月5日至6日安排境外媒體記者赴吉隆災區採訪;參與媒體包括來自美國、英國、俄羅斯、印度、巴基斯坦、新加坡、巴西等國。官方稱,截至5日晚間6時,中方邊境地區已確認死亡43人,失蹤519人,而失蹤人口中有261名外國人。

請繼續往下閱讀...

《CNN》指出,此次採訪讓外媒首度獲准進入原本受到限制的災區,實地查看遭山洪夷平的吉隆口岸;不過CNN強調,雖然行程由中國官員規劃,報導與編採仍完全由CNN自行決定。

報導表示,此前外國記者無法自由進入西藏採訪,尼泊爾一側卻有國際媒體持續報導災情,形成強烈對比。中國當局至今也未完整公布事發時位於吉隆口岸、或被認定在中國一側失聯人員的姓名名單,令外界質疑資訊透明度,讓急於尋找失聯親人的家屬更加焦慮。

北京官方則強調資訊發布「公開、透明、及時」,並表示已透過出入境紀錄、位置追蹤及指紋等方式核查失聯及罹難者身分;外籍失聯者資訊也已通報相關駐中使館。

CNN記者直擊,進入災區後,漫天塵土濃霧瀰漫,昔日5層樓高的吉隆口岸邊境檢查站如今幾乎完全消失,只剩地基與滿地石塊、礫石及泥漿,宛如月球表面的景象。口岸道路在災後第7天才完成清理。目前吉隆口岸尚未發現任何倖存者。

在外媒首度進入災區前,美國駐中國大使館也曾公開要求中方提供更多資訊,包括搜救進展、遇難者身分及受災外國公民情況。

In-depth interview|Seeing “certainty” in turbulent times, Bangladeshi scholars look forward to more stories about the Greater Bay Area being told

After visiting the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Sheikh Tawfiq Moyazemul Haq, a professor at the Institute of South Asian Policy and Governance at North-South University in Bangladesh, said that the Greater Bay Area provides "certainty" in the global economic turmoil. He was impressed by the technology and management of its Metro Line 18.

The Russian Foreign Ministry responded to Japan's request to remove the monument: It is as absurd as asking the wind not to blow and the sun not to shine.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova responded to Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks calling for the removal of the monument in Khabarovsk, saying it was ridiculous and that the 'disease' of ignoring one's own history should not be passed on to other countries. Russian parliamentarians and representatives of the Military History Society also refuted this, emphasizing that the monument conforms to historical facts.

The spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of National Defense mistakenly claimed that Nogi Nozomi was enshrined in the Yasukuni Shrine, but Japanese experts refuted it as a historical joke.

At a press conference, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Zhang Xiaogang criticized Japanese lawmakers for visiting the Yasukuni Shrine, wrongly claiming that the shrine is dedicated to Nogi Nogi, the former governor of Taiwan. Akio Yaita, CEO of Japan's Indo-Pacific Strategic Think Tank, pointed out that Nogi Nogi was not enshrined at the Yasukuni Shrine. The actual place where his wife was enshrined was the Nogi Shrine in Akasaka, Tokyo. He also criticized the Chinese Ministry of National Defense for disclosing erroneous historical facts and using history as a political propaganda tool.
