郭莉莉2026年8月31日尼泊尔北部，裹挟着泥沙与碎石的博特科西河，摄于上周四。 Atul Loke for The New York TimesChina’s leader, Xi Jinping, extended his condolences to Nepal’s president on Friday over the hundreds of deaths caused by the landslide on the countries’ border and pledged China’s support in Nepal’s aid efforts.周五，中国领导人习近平就中尼边境泥石流灾害致数百人死亡一事，向尼泊尔总统致慰问电，并承诺中方将支持尼泊尔的救援工作。“I am confident that the people of both countries will be able to join hands to overcome the disaster and rebuild their homes,” Mr. Xi said in a message to Nepal’s president, Ram Chandra Paudel, reported by Chinese state media. The message, his first addressed to Nepal’s government since the disaster on Wednesday, noted that the countries are geographically connected and “share a common destiny.”据中国官方媒体报道，习近平在致尼泊尔总统拉姆·钱德拉·鲍德尔的慰问电中说：“相信两国人民一定能携手早日战胜灾害，重建家园。”这是自周三灾害发生以来，他首次向尼泊尔政府致电。他在慰问电中指出，两国山水相连，“命运与共”。At the same time, Chinese officials have tried subtly to emphasize that the origins of the disaster were across the border.与此同时，中国官员也在委婉地强调，这场灾害的源头位于边境另一侧。On Thursday, China’s Ministry of Natural Resources released details of what it called the “basic disaster chain,” saying that the flood was caused by a high-altitude avalanche in Nepal that flowed into China along the Gyirong Tsangpo River and leveled a border crossing, before twisting back into Nepal, wiping out villages there. Almost all of China’s official statements and state media reports have used similar language.周四，中国自然资源部发布了所谓“基本的灾害链”过程，称此次灾害由尼泊尔境内高位冰川崩塌引发，雪崩沿吉隆藏布河涌入中国境内，冲毁了一处边境口岸，之后又折回尼泊尔，摧毁了那里的村庄。中国几乎所有的官方声明和官方媒体报道都采用了类似的措辞。Satellite imagery analyzed by The New York Times suggests that the landslide was likely caused by a glacier collapsing on the Langtang Lirung, a mountain in Nepal.《纽约时报》对卫星图像进行分析后认为，这场泥石流灾害很可能是由尼泊尔境内朗唐里隆峰的一处冰川崩塌引发的。The official Chinese statements came as comments circulated on social media that Beijing bore responsibility for the disaster and the heavy numbers of dead and missing. Critics have accused China, without evidence, of not issuing an early warning after the avalanche occurred or of destabilizing the ground in the Himalayas by constructing hydropower dams in Tibet.中国官方发表上述声明之际，社交媒体上流传着一些说法，认为北京应对此次灾害及其造成的重大人员伤亡和失踪负责。批评者在没有证据的情况下指责中国在冰川崩塌发生后没有及时发布预警，或者认为中国在西藏修建水电大坝，导致喜马拉雅地区的地质环境变得不稳定，从而酿成灾难。In a Facebook post on Thursday, the Chinese Embassy in Nepal called those theories “fake news.” China’s ambassador to Kathmandu, Zhang Maoming, went on Nepali state television on Wednesday to emphasize that preliminary evidence showed the disaster had started on the Nepalese side of the border.中国驻尼泊尔大使馆周四在Facebook上称这些说法为“假新闻”。中国驻尼泊尔大使张茂明周三还接受尼泊尔国家电视台采访，强调初步证据显示，灾难是从边境尼泊尔一侧开始的。“We stand strong with Nepal at this difficult time,” he said.他说：“在这个艰难时刻，我们坚定地与尼泊尔站在一起。”Beijing’s efforts to shape the narrative are in line with its focus on controlling information on the crisis.北京方面引导灾害叙事的努力与其一直以来对危机相关信息进行管控的做法相符。China has confirmed that five people have died in Tibet and that 558 others are missing since the deluge, but has released scant detail. Independent journalists are barred from Tibet. Chinese social media platforms have censored content that is not state-sanctioned, including videos taken by bystanders and drone photos of the collapsed glacier taken by hikers.中国已确认西藏有五人遇难，另有558人失联，但公布的细节极少。独立记者被禁止进入西藏。中国的社交媒体平台对未经官方认可的内容进行了审查，包括目击者拍摄的视频和徒步者拍摄的冰川崩塌无人机照片。郭莉莉(Lily Kuo)是《纽约时报》报道中国记者，常驻台北。翻译：纽约时报中文网点击查看本文英文版。获取更多RSS：https://feedx.net https://feedx.site
