They didn't try to cover up the train accident in China either. The accident was a major news event for days, there was big rescue missions, etc. They also did an investigation on the causes, down to the design, creation and operation of the trains and lines: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/29/world/asia/design-flaws-ci...

What they also did, which was hasty, and people called them on it, was trying to bury the broken carriages afterwards -- not to somehow hide that the accident happened (that was major news everywhere anyway), but as a clumsy "move on, nothing to see here" gesture.
