Weeks of heavy rain have put the Three Gorges Dam, the largest hydropower project in the world, in danger of collapse putting 400 million people at risk. The flooding has been described as the worst since 1949 with natural disasters being declared in 24 provinces and municipalities in the southwest and central China, especially in areas near the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the Three Gorges Dam, causing the reservoir’s water level to exceed the flood control line.

The water level in China’s massive Three Gorges Reservoir reached 147 meters on Saturday, two meters above the flood warning line. Meanwhile, the inflow increased to 26,500 cubic meters per second from 20,500 cubic meters per second on the previous day.

German-Chinese hydrologist Wang Weiluo told Radio France Internationale on Monday the dam could collapse at any moment. Wang pointed out that the dam’s design, construction, and quality inspection were all carried out by the same group of people and that the project was finished too quickly using substandard concrete.

Heavy rain is forecast to continue over south China.

We'll see. If it happens, on top of the economic downturn and COVID, it might set off some social disobedience.

Chinese History centers around the Rulers losing "The Mandate of Heaven" due to a series of disasters.

I've read this same headline at least 20 times in the past.

Can’t they just “open the floodgates”?

They built a B cup, and they needed a double D. That's why Chinese XL t-shirts are always too tight.

I can't wait until the Guillotine falls on the Liberals that are colluding with China. I think if the didn't make a 3 year, big fucking deal out of their Russia Collusion hoax.
Then nothing would ever happen, and at this point, the Liberal media would be openly and proudly boasting how they are working with China to defeat Trump.

This shit will bite China in the Ass and the Commie Bastards in American Democrat party. Also their co-conspirators in the media.

I'm expecting a huge mass round up of indictments ranging from all kinds of charges. All of the head scratchers we've seen in the last 4 to 5 years. They will be given the Barr tab around mid August.

And as for China's problems with the Lord going all Biblical on the Commie Scumbags. Xi better get right with the Lord or parish.

I saw a before and after video. Recent. It does appear to be growing a giant boob. It's sliding and bulging out in the center.

After some though... I'll just say it reminded me of Michael Obama.

With all of the self dealing and crooked contracting practices through CCP, they say that Chinese concrete and materials practices are horrible. They show people after earthquakes crumbling the concrete from the buildings with their fingers.

It's made in China, you can't expect it to last.
