1 | Chinese Local Media Silent on Deadly Qingdao Explosion | Mangina Tamin'ny Fipoahana Nahafatesan'Olona Tao Qingdao Ny Fampahalalam-baovao Shinoa |
2 | An oil pipeline explosion in Qingdao, one of China's eastern cities, killed at least 52 people and injured more than 100 on November 22, 2013. | Olona 52 no namoy ny ainy ary maherin'ny 100 no naratra noho ny fipoahan'ny fantso-tsolitany lehibe tao Qingdao, iray amin'ireo tanàna Atsinanan'i Shina, tamin'ny 22 Novambra 2013. |
3 | The pipeline belongs to the state-owned Sinopec Corp, one of China's largest oil companies. | Orinasam-panjakana Sinopec Corp no tompon'ny fantsona, iray amin'ireo orinasan-tsolitany goavana indrindra ao Shina. |
4 | After the incident, the chairman of Sinopec Fu Chengyu made a public apology on China's state broadcaster CCTV. | Taorian'ny loza, nandefa fialan-tsiny nalefa mivantana tao amin'ny fahitalavi-panjakana Shinoa ny filoha mpitantana ny Sinopec, Fu Chengyu. |
5 | Local media in Qingdao, however, took little note of the explosion, running no coverage whatsoever of the disaster in the next day's editions. | Na dia izany aza, vitsy ny vaovao mikasika ny fipoahana azon'ireo fampahalalam-baovao tao Qingdao, ka tsy dia nisy ny fitantarana ny loza tamin'ny fandaharana fampahalalam-baovao ny ampitso. |
6 | With photos of the explosion widely circulating on Chinese social media, a chorus of critical Chinese netizens rose in the face of the state-controlled media's silence. | Tamin'ireo sarin'ny fipoahana niparika be tao amin'ny media sosialy Shinoa, nanome tsiny ny fanginan'ny fampahalalam-baovaom-panjakana ny tsikera maro avy amin'ny mpiserasera. |
7 | “Baigu Lunjin” posted Qingdao's Morning newspaper on Weibo and criticized [zh]: | Namoaka ny gazety marainan'i Qingdao tao amin'ny Weibo i “Baigu Lunjin” ary nitsikera [zh] hoe: |

10 | How much perseverance does it take to choose to be silent when faced with 47 lives, a tragic loss for dozens of families! | Faharetana hafiriana no ilaina raha hisafidy hangina manoloana ireo aina 47, fahaverezana mampivarahontsana ho an'ireo fianakaviana am-polony! |
11 | As a media person, are you worthy of the bloodshed, Qingdao? | Amin'ny maha olon'ny fampahalalam-baovao anao, mendrika ny fandatsahan-drà ve ianao ry Qingdao? |
12 | Worthy of those innocent lives? | Mendrika ireo aina tsy manantsiny ireo ve? |
13 | Instead of reporting about the truth behind the incident, Qingdao's official Weibo account became a platform to flatter the “top officials”. | Raha tokony hilaza ny marina mikasika ny loza, nanjary sehatra nandokafana ireo “manampahefana ambony” ny kaonty ofisialin'i Qingdao ao amin'ny Weibo. |
14 | On November 24, it published [zh]: | Tamin'ny 24 Novambra, hoy izy namoaka [zh]: |
15 | This afternoon, General Secretary Xi Jinping cordially met with hospital staff treating those injured in the Sinopec explosion. | Androany atoandro, nihaona am-pitiavana tamin'ireo mpiasan'ny hopitaly mitsabo ireo naratra tamin'ny fipoahan'ny Sinopec ny Sekretera jeneraly Xi Jinping. |
16 | Jinping expressed sincere thanks and kind regards to the doctors and nurses and praised their efforts. | Naneho fisaorana sy fankasitrahana an'ireo dokotera sy mpanampy mpitsabo (infirmiera) i Jinping ary nankasitraka ny ezak'izy ireo. |
17 | Netizens ridiculed the report, with one particular user, “CE sir”, writing [zh]: | Notsiratsirain'ireo mpiserasera ny tatitra, miaraka amin'ilay mpisera manokana “CE sir”, nanoratra [zh] hoe: |
18 | Such a tragic incident, many people died and injured, but the report sounds like it's a great cause! | Loza mahatsiravina tokoa, maro ireo olona namoy ny ainy sy naratra, saingy tahaka ny milaza tsara ny tatitra! |
19 | Sources outside of Qingdao are responding to the tragedy, with Beijing News raising questions [zh] about the explosion: | Namaly ny voina ny loharanom-baovao ivelan'i Qingdao, nahitana ny Vaovaon'i Beijing nametraka fanontaniana [zh] momba ny fipoahana: |
20 | 1. How did this oil spill happen so easily in the municipal network? | 1. Fa ahoana no mora miraraka ao amin'ny rafitr'asa monisipaly ny solika? |
21 | 2. Why was the pipeline so close to a residential area? | 2. Nahoana no akaiky loatra ny toeram-ponenana ny fantsombe? |
22 | 3. During the seven hours from oil spill to explosion, why wasn't the local government able to evacuate people to potentially save lives? | 3. Nandritra ny adiny fito nanomboka tamin'ny solitany raraka ka hatramin'ny fipoahana, nahoana no tsy nahavita namindra ireo olona mba hanavotra aina ny governemanta ao an-toerana? |
23 | 4. After the oil spill, why didn't Sinopec report the incident to the maritime sector in time? | 4. Taorian'ny firaraky ny solitany, nahoana no tsy nitatitra ny loza tamin'ny tompon'andraikitra an-dranomasina ara-potoana ny Sinopec ? |
24 | 5. Sinopec had conducted a “safety inspection” a month before in October, so why weren't they able to prevent this tragedy? | 5. Nanatontosa “fanarahamasom-piarovana” ny Sinopec iray volana mialoha tamin'ny Oktobra, koa nahoana no tsy nahavitra nisoroka izao loza izao izy? |
25 | Online personality “Pretendtobein NY” wrote [zh]: | Olo-malaza ao amin'ny aterineto “Pretendtobein NY” nanoratra [zh] hoe: |
26 | Many in the media are busy these days writing positive reports about disasters, which reminds me of the Wenzhou train collision. | Maro tamin'ireo media no sahirana nanoratra vaovao amin'ny lafiny tsara mikasika ny loza tamin'ireo andro ireo, izay mampahatsiahy ahy ilay fifandonam-piarandalamby tao Wenzhou. |
27 | Seven days after the incident, all media reporting on it were banned. | Fito andro taorian'ny loza, noraràna ny fitantaran'ny media momba izany. |
28 | Beijing News' headline on that day was “Seven days of constant rainy days, one day of two warnings”. | “Orana mikija mandritra ny fito andro, andro iray ho an'ny fampitandremana roa” no lohatenim-baovao nisongadina tao amin'ny Vaovaon'ny Beijing tamin'izany andro izany. |
29 | The first “seven” hints at seven days of dead people, the latter hints at the warnings of a media ban. | Milaza sompirana ny fito andron'ny olona maty ny “fito” notononina voalohany, ny farany kosa milaza sompirana ny fampitandremana amin'ny fandraràna ny media. |
30 | Oriental Sports Daily wrote: “You can seal the mouth, but you can't seal the grief.” | Hoy ny gazety mpivoaka isan'andro Oriental Sports nanoratra: “Afaka manakombom-bava ianao fa tsy afa-manakombona ny alahelo.” |
31 | Censorship will always exist, but the media's real strength of character can always find a way to show its courage and conscience. | Mbola hisy hatrany ny sivana, saingy ny tena toetran'ny media indray ny mahita hatrany ny fomba hanehoany hatrany ny herimpo sy ny fahatsiarovan-tenany. |
32 | Writer Tianyou suggested [zh]: | Mpanoratra Tianyou nanoro-hevitra [zh] hoe: |
33 | I recommend that the flags be lowered to half-staff in a national day of mourning for those who died. | Mitaky aho ny hampisaonana ny saina ho eo amin'ny atsasaky ny andry ao amin'ny androm-pisaonana ireo maty. |
34 | Not only it is a way to mourn the victims, it is also a way to remind state enterprises to pay attention to production safety. | Tsy hoe fomba iray hisaonana ireo lasibatra ihany izany, fa fomba iray hampahatsiarovana ireo orinasam-panjakana hitandrina kokoa amin'ny fiarovana ny famokarana. |
35 | In response to the suggestion, many responded [zh] sarcastically: | Ho setrin'izany toro-hevitra izany, maro ireo namaly [zh] amin'ny tarehy ratsy manao hoe: |
36 | If we start lowering the flags after this case, I guess the top part of the flagpole will be useless. | Raha mampidin-tsaina noho iny tranga iny isika, dia mino aho fa tsy hilaina intsony ny tapany ambony amin'ny andrin-tsaina. |
