【新唐人2013年01月08日讯】李小鹏刚刚上代任山西代省长不久，山西就发生了重大隧道爆炸事故，事情虽然以“央企瞒报”为调查结果不了了之，公众媒体依然质疑重重，风波还没有平息，山西就再度曝出水污染瞒报事故，李小鹏深陷瞒报的泥潭，仕途是否会因此受到影响﹖请看报导。
2012年12月31号，山西省长治市“天脊媒化工集团公司”发生一起苯胺泄漏事件，近39吨的苯胺从爆裂的输送管流出，其中至少8.7吨流入浊漳河，使河水受到严重污染，直接波及到了下游省份。
更为严重的是，一直到1月5号，山西当局才向位于漳河下游的河北省邯郸市通报事故。山西省环保厅对外声称，他们也是在事故发生5天后才获知消息，并在当天就“及时”的通知了河北省政府。完全撇清了自身的责任。
邯郸市民李小姐：“政府如果能够站在咱广大老百姓的角度考虑到话，它应该及时通知，确实通知时间有点太延迟了，中间确实有四、五天的时间。这个是关系到生命健康的，对不对？现在很多人对这个事确实有很大的异议。”
虽然邯郸政府立即采取措施，临时更换了水库，依然造成了全市大面积突发性停水，导致市民恐慌抢水、储水，以至于所有出售的瓶装饮用水全部被抢购一空。
李小姐：“用水是每个人生活必须的东西，中间早就有泄漏事件，但是没有及时上报，这样的话影响了好多人用水。”
如果说邯郸停水给百姓的生活带来不便，那么邯郸市民在水源被污染5天后才得到通知，这五天期间已经饮用的水是否会给身体带来危害，则是他们更关心的。
李小姐：“有的人说现在的水还不能喝。没停水之前我就不知道，包括我们单位很多人都不知道，所以肯定有不少人，在这个时候已经饮用了这个（污染的）水。”
记者：“那你们对自己的身体有没有担心呢？”
李小姐：“有，有担心。具体的我不知道，但是肯定也是慢性的那种，跟慢性毒药差不多吧。反正肯定对身体多少会有点伤害的，反正想去医院检查检查。”
那么，究竟什么原因使本该2小时内报告的事故，拖延了5天呢？
长治市新闻中心办公室主任王一平说：“发生了污染以后，只要污染不出长治的边界，好像就不用往省里报，自己处理就行，一出边界了这才需要报。”
可是据住在事故发生附近的村民讲，没有人通知他们污染物泄漏一事。他们只在1月5号以后才看到一块写有“严禁人畜饮用河内废水”的牌子。也就是说，山西长治当局在明知道苯胺是有毒物质的情况下，对当地居民都选择了瞒报。
2013年元旦期间，山西省代省长李小鹏在视察临汾铁路隧道爆炸事故现场时，曾经高调誓言，“对事故瞒报零容忍”，中共喉舌媒体纷纷报导了李小鹏对“央企发生事故瞒报”的“愤慨和震惊”，以及对政府“后知后觉”的“自责”。但随后有媒体披露，当地政府早在事故发生的第一时间就已经获得消息，戳穿了李小鹏之前的谎言。
山西维权人士李茂林：“很可笑，他们一贯都是这样的，每一个事故他们都是这样的报导，都是这样的谴责，什么零容忍之类的说的冠冕堂皇，你作为一省之长，你没有责任吗？首先第一责任者就是你啊，你就该引咎辞职啊！”
不知道这一次水污染瞒报事件，李小鹏又会用什么借口堵住悠悠众口，又会抛出哪个替罪羊替他承担责任，他的仕途会不会因此而受到影响，还是继续靠“拼爹”来挡住公众舆论的利剑，在庇护下安稳的当着“太子省长”，人们拭目以待。

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.
