The 20th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident

This April 26th marked the 20th anniversary of the Chernobyl Accident. It was really horrible accident of course, but reaction of the former Soviet authorities after the accident was also horrible. Concealment of socialistic countries is terrifying.

I remember what one Chinese said. He worked in Japan. When someone asked him how was Japan, he answered that Japan valued people's lives. What?
He said that China didn't value human lives. Many years ago, one big accident (I didn't remember well. maybe earthquake? Mudslide? I think it was something like natural disaster.) was happened in China. Many countries offered the disaster assistance but China declined them. After several days later, at last Chinese authorities declared the number of dead from the accident. He said that if China accepted the offers, many lives were saved.

Those are a part of life in the socialistic countries?
