Officials call this torrential rain “once in a thousand years.” Regarding the cause of the disaster, CCTV quoted experts as saying that the heavy rain in Henan was caused by a typhoon a thousand kilometers away. This explanation was criticized by the public.

CCTV Expert: The typhoon remotely controlled the heavy rain in Henan thousands of miles away

According to statistics from Zhengzhou Meteorological Bureau, at 4 pm on July 20, Zhengzhou ushered in the strongest rainstorm in history. In just one hour, the rainfall in Zhengzhou reached 201.9mm, which is close to one-third of its average annual rainfall. One. Since the 17th, three days of rainfall has been equivalent to the total amount of rainfall in one year.

CCTV quoted relevant experts from the Central Meteorological Bureau on the 21st as saying that the continuous heavy rains in Henan were affected by typhoons. Although the typhoon “Fireworks” is still a thousand kilometers away from China, it remotely controlled the heavy rain in Henan. Guided by the “fireworks” and the subtropical high-pressure air currents, a large amount of water vapor is continuously transported from the sea to the land by the easterly wind, and it gathers into rain in Henan.

The interpretation of the Chinese Communist Party’s official media invited experts was criticized by public opinion. Some netizens said: “Predict in advance, why didn’t the experts come out early? Now the interpretation is useful, and it’s after the fact.” “This kind of description, after a little over the brain, will know that it is not demonstrable. In addition to wanting to attribute all the responsibility to force majeure, it is also What does it do?”

Some netizens sarcastically said: “Why don’t the experts say that the high temperature in the United States evaporates the water to the sky, and then it is delivered to Zhengzhou through the space transportation system?”

Ms. Wang, a resident of Zhengzhou, told Free Asia that if it is because of heavy rain, the water level is a slow rise process, and it cannot be as severe as an hour. Because many people were not prepared, even the subway was not suspended. Free Asia published an article that proved that the flood was not caused by heavy rains, but because of sudden floods.

At around 1 am on July 21st, the authorities announced a flood release news from the reservoir. The report stated that the Changzhuang Reservoir, located in the upper reaches of Zhengzhou, was in serious danger and the flood was discharged at 10 am on the 20th.

In the video uploaded by the local people, the streets of Zhengzhou are covered with an ocean, and the flow of water is very fast and the volume of water is huge, and cars and people are constantly being washed away.

Zhengzhou invests 53.4 billion yuan to “float”

According to Lu Media reports, the Zhengzhou Municipal Government has invested 53.48 billion yuan in the construction of a sponge city from 2017 to 2020. The so-called sponge city is to make the city have water absorption, water storage functions, etc., just like a sponge, and improve the city’s flood control and drainage capabilities.

Zhengzhou was selected as a provincial pilot for the construction of sponge cities in Henan Province in 2016.

Lv Hongliang, deputy dean of the Ecological Municipal Institute of the China Academy of Urban Planning and Design, explained to Lu Media “China Business News” that the recurrence period of the flood control design in Zhengzhou City is matched with the scale of the city.

Why did Zhengzhou’s sponge city construction fail to play a role in this flood? The official explanation is that “this heavy rain in Zhengzhou is very rare, and the disaster caused has nothing to do with whether to build a sponge city”.

Some netizens commented, “Sponge city is a pit! The government forces every developer to bear the cost without increasing investment in urban flood control and drainage systems, so as to truly improve the capacity of the mainline system. If you encounter a real disaster, you will definitely be finished! “

Yan Chungou, a Chinese writer living in Hong Kong, also analyzed that heavy rains occur every year, but in recent years, major floods have suddenly increased in various parts of the mainland, which is because the cities are developing too fast. It looks like a lot of flowers, but there are no drainage facilities underground. When the rain comes, the water has nowhere to drain, so I have to walk on the ground, so the low-lying places are soaked in the water.

Man-made disasters under natural disasters

Jiang Feng, the host of “Jiangfeng Moment”, said that the Zhengzhou Municipal Government said that Zhengzhou had encountered heavy rainfall that was “unusual in a hundred years.” This statement seemed to have become the CCP government’s calibre to alleviate its guilt for decades. When the real disaster strikes, it will not say what can withstand the achievements of the project that has not been met in a century or a millennium. What government officials at all levels think of is how to get through and keep their official position.

“How to keep the official position? The first is that when the reservoir should discharge flood, try not to discharge it, because once the flood discharges, it means agricultural and property losses. He doesn’t care how much you lose, and these losses will affect his future as an official. But the CCP He has a way for officials to control petitioners, but he is dumbfounded to control God. What to do? It is to quietly release the flood.”

Jiang Feng said that urban water accumulation and drainage are both a gradual process, and there will never be torrential floods like mountain torrents from high to low. But yesterday Zhengzhou encountered such a horrible scene. Many citizens couldn’t avoid it, and there were even many floating corpses on the water. The only explanation for this phenomenon was that the reservoir had flooded without warning or had a dam failure.
