Why is the PLA hiding? No rescue in the crucial 72 hours; only 70 firefighters arrived afterward

Hello, this is China Deep Dive. We have all the information you need to know about China at present. Today's topic is:
A devastating mudslide struck Gyirong Port on the China-Nepal border, raising serious questions about China's disaster response and the role of the People's Liberation Army.

More than 72 hours after the disaster, only around 70 firefighters were reported to have reached the core disaster area, while Chinese military helicopters were mainly used for reconnaissance and limited supply drops rather than direct search-and-rescue operations. Meanwhile, Nepal mobilized thousands of troops, police and available helicopters to rescue survivors.

Why was China's massive military presence so limited during the critical 72-hour rescue window? Why did ground forces struggle to reach the disaster area, despite China reportedly possessing around 1,500 helicopters?

This video examines the Gyirong mudslide, the delayed rescue response, China's military deployment, Nepal's rescue efforts, disaster-warning failures, and the political questions surrounding the disaster.

Watch the full analysis and decide for yourself what happened behind the scenes.
