More than 500 people were missing in Gyirong, with three confirmed deaths in the county of about 2,000 people. The authorities have provided no details about which villages and settlements in the mostly rural area have been affected.到周四，当地居民拍摄并上传到网上的视频——包括一段广泛传播的、显示泥石流吞没中国西藏吉隆县一个边境口岸的片段——已在中国社交媒体平台上遭到审查。吉隆县有500多人失踪，这个约2000人口的县已有三人确认遇难。对于这个以农村为主的地区哪些村庄和定居点受灾，官方没有给出任何细节。Instead, the only information has come from China’s government-controlled state media outlets, where coverage has focused mostly on the rescue efforts. The government has sent members of the Chinese military and other emergency workers into the area, the outlets report, as well as drones and helicopters. The People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party, led on Thursday with a story about China’s leader, Xi Jinping, ordering that all-out efforts be made to help the victims in Gyirong.唯一的信息来自中国政府控制的官方媒体，其报道主要集中在救援工作上。这些媒体报道称，政府已向该地区派遣了军队和其他应急人员，以及无人机和直升机。中共官方报纸《人民日报》周四在头版刊登了一篇报道，称中国领导人习近平下令全力帮助吉隆的受灾群众。Censorship and tight control of information is common throughout China, but nowhere is that more apparent than in Tibet, which has been under Chinese control since the 1950s and where calls for greater autonomy have erupted into protests.审查和严格的信息控制在中国很普遍，但在西藏尤为突出——这里自20世纪50年代以来一直处于中国控制之下，曾爆发过要求更多自治权的抗议活动。No foreign journalists are allowed in except on heavily orchestrated government tours. Officials in Tibet have tightened restrictions on Tibetan monks and nuns and expanded policing to prevent any renewed protests. Tibetans in the region can be detained or arrested for speaking to journalists or posting anything online that is seen as counter to the government narrative, according to rights activists.除了经过严格安排的政府参观团外，外国记者不允许进入西藏。西藏官员加强了对藏传佛教僧尼的限制，并扩大了警力，以防止任何新的抗议活动。据人权活动人士称，该地区的藏人可能因与记者交谈或在网上发布任何被视为违背政府说法的内容而被拘留或逮捕。The result, according to Ryan Fioresi, the executive director of the International Campaign for Tibet, is a situation where “only the Chinese government controls the information flow.” In a disaster situation, that means that local residents, afraid of punishment, are not posting about where people are trapped or where the damage is the worst.国际声援西藏运动总干事瑞安·菲奥雷西表示，其结果是“只有中国政府控制着信息流动”。在灾难情况下，这意味着当地居民因害怕受到惩罚而不会发布关于人员被困地点或受灾最严重地区的信息。“If people are afraid to share that information, or if their posts are removed,” he said, “potentially useful information may not reach families, relief workers or the wider public.”“如果人们害怕分享这些信息，或者他们的帖子被删除，”他说，“那么可能有用的信息就无法到达家属、救援人员或更广泛的公众手中。”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。
