On September 10, 2026, Tibet Cyber Police announced multiple cases of penalties for online comments regarding the Gyirong mudslide disaster. The netizens involved were given administrative penalties by police in Tibet, Heilongjiang, Anhui, and Guangdong, for fabricating that the mudslide was man-made or induced by an earthquake, maliciously comparing it to rescue efforts in other countries to distort the effectiveness of China's disaster relief, fabricating that all public officials had died in the line of duty, and spreading false rumors.

Four days after the Jilong mudslide disaster, on August 30, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official media claimed that the first rescue personnel arrived in the core disaster zone aboard a military helicopter, and heavily promoted emotive scenes such as team members tightly clutching the five‑star red flag, prompting external doubts about the authenticity of post‑disaster rescue and the propaganda show.
During the mudslide disaster relief efforts on the China-Nepal border, the Nepali side rescued and transferred 2,697 people on August 30 alone, including 72 Chinese citizens. Nepal subsequently announced a cumulative total of 13,396 people rescued and transferred, with over 25,000 personnel from the army, police, and armed police participating in the rescue. These figures have been used to compare against the lower rescue input and results from the Chinese side.

By September 2, the official numbers became 21 deaths and 541 missing, total 562, and it was also reported that 847 pieces of remains were found.
