Surprised they aren't going for "Xi is intentionally drowning dissidents!". Communists killing dissidents with the weather gun is pretty baked in as a trope & is no outlandish than Stalin magically causing a draught.
Instead they're going for this absolute nothingburger. 32 people drowned in a country of 1.4 billion in heavily populated regions is a fucking achivement, thousands die in India/Bangladesh in equivalent circumstances and there is no reason to believe first world countries would do much better as over 1000 died just according to the clearly fudged official figures in Canada & the US during the most recent heat wave. Hell didn't Japan lose a few thousand people during that Tsunami in 2012?
I don't know what's sadder, how abysmal US state department propaganda is getting or that a huge portion of westerners have been so thoroughly retarded by industrial chemicals, deterioating austerity education and social alienation that this works on absolutely anybody.
