China, Nepal crack down on flood misinformation after Himalayan disaster
China and Nepal have taken different approaches to controlling information after a Himalayan flood on August 26 killed more than 1,400 people and left over 5,650 missing, including hundreds of foreigners. China suppressed eyewitness videos and punished those challenging official figures, while Nepal pressured platforms to remove fabricated content but continued regular death toll updates. The disaster occurred near the one-year anniversary of anti-corruption protests in Nepal.
