【新唐人2013年01月08日訊】李小鵬剛剛上代任山西代省長不久，山西就發生了重大隧道爆炸事故，事情雖然以「央企瞞報」為調查結果不了了之，公眾媒體依然質疑重重，風波還沒有平息，山西就再度曝出水污染瞞報事故，李小鵬深陷瞞報的泥潭，仕途是否會因此受到影響﹖請看報導。
2012年12月31號，山西省長治市「天脊媒化工集團公司」發生一起苯胺泄漏事件，近39噸的苯胺從爆裂的輸送管流出，其中至少8.7噸流入濁漳河，使河水受到嚴重污染，直接波及到了下游省份。
更為嚴重的是，一直到1月5號，山西當局才向位於漳河下游的河北省邯鄲市通報事故。山西省環保廳對外聲稱，他們也是在事故發生5天後才獲知消息，並在當天就「及時」的通知了河北省政府。完全撇清了自身的責任。
邯鄲市民李小姐：「政府如果能夠站在咱廣大老百姓的角度考慮到話，它應該及時通知，確實通知時間有點太延遲了，中間確實有四、五天的時間。這個是關係到生命健康的，對不對？現在很多人對這個事確實有很大的異議。」
雖然邯鄲政府立即採取措施，臨時更換了水庫，依然造成了全市大面積突發性停水，導致市民恐慌搶水、儲水，以至於所有出售的瓶裝飲用水全部被搶購一空。
李小姐：「用水是每個人生活必須的東西，中間早就有泄漏事件，但是沒有及時上報，這樣的話影響了好多人用水。」
如果說邯鄲停水給百姓的生活帶來不便，那麼邯鄲市民在水源被污染5天後才得到通知，這五天期間已經飲用的水是否會給身體帶來危害，則是他們更關心的。
李小姐：「有的人說現在的水還不能喝。沒停水之前我就不知道，包括我們單位很多人都不知道，所以肯定有不少人，在這個時候已經飲用了這個（污染的）水。」
記者：「那你們對自己的身體有沒有擔心呢？」
李小姐：「有，有擔心。具體的我不知道，但是肯定也是慢性的那種，跟慢性毒藥差不多吧。反正肯定對身體多少會有點傷害的，反正想去醫院檢查檢查。」
那麼，究竟甚麼原因使本該2小時內報告的事故，拖延了5天呢？
長治市新聞中心辦公室主任王一平說：「發生了污染以後，只要污染不出長治的邊界，好像就不用往省裡報，自己處理就行，一出邊界了這才需要報。」
可是據住在事故發生附近的村民講，沒有人通知他們污染物泄漏一事。他們只在1月5號以後才看到一塊寫有「嚴禁人畜飲用河內廢水」的牌子。也就是說，山西長治當局在明知道苯胺是有毒物質的情況下，對當地居民都選擇了瞞報。
2013年元旦期間，山西省代省長李小鵬在視察臨汾鐵路隧道爆炸事故現場時，曾經高調誓言，「對事故瞞報零容忍」，中共喉舌媒體紛紛報導了李小鵬對「央企發生事故瞞報」的「憤慨和震驚」，以及對政府「後知後覺」的「自責」。但隨後有媒體披露，當地政府早在事故發生的第一時間就已經獲得消息，戳穿了李小鵬之前的謊言。
山西維權人士李茂林：「很可笑，他們一貫都是這樣的，每一個事故他們都是這樣的報導，都是這樣的譴責，甚麼零容忍之類的說的冠冕堂皇，你作為一省之長，你沒有責任嗎？首先第一責任者就是你啊，你就該引咎辭職啊！」
不知道這一次水污染瞞報事件，李小鵬又會用甚麼藉口堵住悠悠眾口，又會拋出哪個替罪羊替他承擔責任，他的仕途會不會因此而受到影響，還是繼續靠「拼爹」來擋住公眾輿論的利劍，在庇護下安穩的當著「太子省長」，人們拭目以待。

Li Xiaopeng Tries to Conceal Water Pollution in Shanxi
Anchor;
A major explosion occurred in a Shanxi tunnel,
not long after acting governor, Li Xiaopeng had taken office.
The incident ended with “the company concealing the news”
as a result.
Before public media’s questions had been fully answered,
the Shanxi water pollution was once again exposed.
Li Xiaopeng has been deeply involved in concealment affairs.
Will this affect his career? Let’s look at the reports.
On December 31, 2012, the highly ignitive chemical aniline,
spilled at Shanxi Tianji Media Chemical Corp., in Changzhi City.
Nearly 39 tons of aniline flowed out from burst pipelines and
at least 8.7 tons flowed into the Zhuozhang River.
Severely polluting & spreading directly in to the
downstream provinces.
More seriously, Shanxi authorities did not inform
Handan City of Hebei Province until January 5.
Shanxi Provincial Environmental Protection Office
claimed they were not informed of the news until five days after the accident.
They said they notified the Hebei provincial government
on the same day, completely distancing themselves from their own responsibility.
Miss Li from Handan: “If the government can look at this
from the view point of the majority of the people,
it should had promptly notified us. Its fa bit late after 4-5 days.
This is a matter of life and health, right?
Now a lot of people have raised objections about this."
Even the Handan government took immediate measures,
temporarily replacing the reservoir,
it still caused a sudden disruption of water supply with in
a large area of the city, causing public panic over water and water storage.
As a result, all bottled drinking water was found to be
all sold out at the time.
Miss Lee: “Water is something everyone must have.
We heard of the spilling but it was not promptly reported.
It has affected many people in using their water."
If Handan water spill caused inconvenience to people’s lives,
has the delayed report of water pollution caused more harm to people’s health?
People of Handan are more concerned about
what kind of damage might happen to the body,
five days after the incident & drinking the polluted water.
Miss Lee: “Some people say the water
isn’t good enough to drink yet.
Before the water was shut off, I did not know,
including many in our unit.
I am sure many drank the contaminated water
during those days.”
Reporter: “Do you worry about your own health now?"
Miss Lee: “Yes, I do. I do not know the specifics,
but I am certain something chronic, like slow poisoning taking place in my body.
I would like to go to the hospital for a check up.”
Then, What makes the delay of 5 days in making a report !?
Changzhi City News Office Director Wang Yiping said:
“If the pollution is not beyond the Changzhi border,
it does not need to report to the provincial office.
We can take care of it ourselves.”
However, according to villagers who live near to the accident,
said no one had informed them of the leakage.
They only saw a written notice of “People and animals are
prohibited from drinking river wastewater “on January 5.
In other words, the authorities in Shanxi, Changzhi knew of
aniline spilling in to the river and chose to conceal the news.
During New Year’s Day of 2013, Li Xiaopeng,
the acting governor of Shanxi Province,
inspected Linfen railway tunnel explosion site and spoke in a
high-profile manner of “zero tolerance" of accidents concealment.
All CCP’s state-owned media have reported that Li Xiaopeng
was shocked at “The Central Enterprises accidents being concealed"
and his “self-blame” on the local government’s “hindsight."
But later media disclosed that the local government knew
of the incident immediately, which exposed Li Xiaopeng’s lies at the same time.
Shanxi human rights activist, Li Maoling: “It is ridiculous,
they have done that with every accident–the same kind of report,
condemnations, and zero tolerance etc.
You are a governor, don’t you share some responsibilities?
You are the first one on line, and you should resign!"
No one knows who will become the scapegoat for
the Water Pollution’s concealment this time.
Will Li Xiaopeng’s career be affected?
Will he rely on his father again to fight against public opinions?
With protection, the outcome of this princeling governor
remains to be seen.
