There have been concerns over this dam for years. In the last few years there have been satellite photos showing that it's no longer straight indicating its foundation is not stable and has shifted which is not good. Similar photos of bridges downstream show those to still be straight so it's unlikely that the satellite images are somehow distorted for unknown reasons. CCP says everything is ok but when have they been known to tell the truth. Here is an article about it. There are likely better and more in-depth articles/videos about this online but this one was easy to find, short and from a semi-reputable source:
As I understand it, the method of construction is the use of giant concrete blocks locked together with tabs, but NOT locked to the bedrock. i.e. a typical commie 5 year plan to create a spectacular object without regard for unintended consequences.. 🤔
