, the second half of which is copied everywhere, because the first half sternly takes China, and CCP, to task. For example:

"723和谐灾难之后，中国官方第一反应不是救人，而是迅速掩埋列车，这种下意识的愚蠢思维其实是权力一贯的作法，傲慢地想继续依靠暴力来删除真相，或者垄断真相的唯一解释权。“多少往事堪重数”，在一个互联网时代，2000多年皇权之下愚民的第一次恢复了正常的眼光和智慧，当人们不再那么愚昧时，官方的拙劣伎俩必然会土崩瓦解，历史也必然将露出它的真面目。就如同723和谐惨案中，中国官方在丢人现眼之后，最终在国际国内压力下，又把刚埋掉的火车头挖了出来。"

(2) Yes, it is all true.

Even CCP's mouth pieces conceded it, except the number of deaths RESULTING FROM THE FLOOD (they did not mention deaths later caused by infectious diseases, such as those that occurred in Haiti after the earthquake in January 2010, due to cholera).

("Official statistics recorded 30 years after the dams bursts show more than 26,000 people were killed in the floods * * * But some meteorologists and researchers said the figure might be even bigger. 'The number may be revised some day in future,' said Wang Yanrong, an official with Henan Province Department of Water Resources who has studied the province's flood disaster death tolls for years. 'It depends on further and more thorough study of related files, documents and our data.'")

My comment: Come on now. China has to wait decades to know how many people died?

("On August 8, 1975, Banqiao Dam * * * collapsed. * * * 26,000 people died in the floods, according to the official death toll. After the flood receded, 145,000 people died from epidemics and from famine. Some estimates put the total death toll at more than 220,000. * * *A Discovery Channel show on May 28, 2005, rated the Banqiao Dam collapse No.1 on a list of the 'Top 10 Technological Catastrophes of the World,' beating the Bhopal toxic gas leak in India on December 3, 1984, and the Chernobyl nuclear accident on April 26, 1986.")
