> Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said Chinese and Nepalese experts and official institutes concluded that a high-altitude glacier collapse in Nepal triggered the mudslide at the China-Nepal border port. He rejected what he called factless malicious speculation and outlined China’s aid, rescue deployments, data sharing and efforts to evacuate and search for missing people.
