How did the mudslide near China-Nepal border happen?

01:33

When disaster strikes, the priority should be saving lives — not spreading rumors or pointing fingers.

This mudslide originated from a high-altitude ice collapse in Nepal and reached Gyirong Port in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region in just seven minutes, leaving almost no time for an effective early warning.

People need to work together and focus on getting those affected to safety. Nature is unpredictable enough. We don't need misinformation making things worse.
