So much disinfo on 3 gorges. Video of warping was shown to be due to heat rising from the dam. If there be cracks, let's see 'em, otherwise it's all disinfo. 2 out of 40 or so dams have collapsed but their construction is older.
There are pictures of cracks in the dam, with shrubbery growing out of them. It’s been admitted by the Chinese government that instability and movement of the dam is far worse than anticipated. They admitted that it’s not a 1000 year dam, but a 100 year dam.
Of course the dam is going to fail catastrophically as some point. It was built by a system that doesn’t know anything but corruption. Half the concrete in the construction was probably totally out of spec. The steel most likely substandard garbage. Every contractor they used was secretly swapping in inferior materials to save money and skim from the contract.
It’s how business works over there. Domestic manufacturers lie cheat and steal every second of every single day. In their culture, it’s up to the buyer to protect themselves. The assumption is that everyone is out to screw you, and it’s YOUR fault if you let them get away with it.
They will just blame the US when it fails anyway. Much too large of an ego blow for them to ever admit it was the fault of their economic and political systems. They will use it as an internal propaganda excuse for more bio weapon attacks on the US.
I don't know man. The failure of the three gorges dam wouldn't just represent a bad manmade disaster. It would represent the worst disaster in recorded history, with loss of life expected to be between 10 m and 60 million people. That's four percent of the population at the upper end.
That's like if the Hoover dam collapsed and washed away 12m people in the US. 12 million! And that's just the initial death toll.
And that's just people! That's nothing in comparison to the desperate situation that will arise out of the loss of farm land, infrastructure, power, among many other things.
They won't be able to blame anybody. They can try, but it will discredit the entire regime. Everyone will know someone who died due to the CCP's incompetence. Military service personal will have family that starved in the following famine. Loyalties will be strained up and down the command chain, and it would be a very bad idea at that point and time to be poking the bear that is the American war machine.
