« The latest official casualty tally released by Xizang authorities stood at 16 dead and 546 missing, based on figures recorded at 6 p.m. on August 29. »

China's government largely frames the narrative: quotes come from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, rather than a Nepalese source

« China will stand firmly with Nepal and work hand in hand to overcome the difficulties together, demonstrating our traditional neighborly friendship through concrete actions, »

Disparate numbers on missing foreigners: the total varies depending on the source and date of the bulletin cited by Beijing

« So far, about 590 foreigners from 39 countries remain missing, according to figures from Nepal's foreign ministry. »
