You're telling me a hurricane avoided Taiwan with almost needlepoint precision only to head for the Three Gorges Dam in communist China?
Eh a similar thing happened last year where the water was centimetres from the top but nothing came of it.
Tbh I've lost all hype about the TGD collapsing any time soon, and I also hope it doesnt. The only thing that would change is innocent people get killed and villages/cities destroyed. The regime wont be brought to its knees from something like this. The catalyst needs to be multi-pronged and arguably larger.
No, this would absolutely kill the regime. That dam is the symbol of their power. They dont take face so seriously for no reason over there. The dam goes their mandate of heaven goes with it.
I disagree, the world already knows about Chinas shitty infrastructure, honestly nobody would be surprised if the dam broke.
It would kill loads of people and cause billions in damages but the regime doesnt care. They're not gonna rebuild these places, they'll just move the displaced or get rid of them themselves.
It's not going to cause a revolution because the chinese people have been neutered to complacency and have no 2A to defend themselves (think Tiananmen Square).
They take face seriously but they also know that it's only the governments of countries that respect the CCP, all the citizens of the world know what a joke they are, and the CCP knows we know. They dont give a fuck what we think, as long as they've still got their grips on the other countries - which they will, even if the dam breaks.
