As China Suffers From Severe Flooding, Regime’s Leaders Disappear From Public

Floods have affected over 54 million people in China and caused damage to the tune of US$20 billion. This could easily be categorized as one of the worst natural disasters to hit the Asian nation in the past several years. But despite this destruction and chaos, Chinese government officials have remained away from public eyes. Rather than comforting the citizens in their worst times, the authorities seem to have decided that silence is the best way to deal with the issue.
