Does anyone have any good links to all the flooding going on in China right now? I've read a few articles about it but they didn't have many good videos. Fox has some articles on the flooding. Other articles and people on Twitter are saying the 3 Gorges Dam could fail if the rain keeps coming? Some reporting millions of people at risk ..

Crazy stuff going on around the world right now

Long discussion here. Not posting as an insult, I started a thread about the hurricane not knowing there's already a thread on it. It happens from time to time.

In my younger days, your comment was my exact thoughts.

Now, if the flood could hit the party headquarters and wipe out the politburo, bring it on. However, like many benighted and ignorant souls of a dictatorship, it's likely 80% of the 1.4 billion folks in China are great people who just want to take care of their families and live a life.

So in my old age, I'm conflicted. However, anything that's bad for China can't be too bad for us.

From the other thread, there is a concern it could significantly disrupt pharmaceutical manufacturing. A lot of plants in harm's way.

Unfortunately despite Covid we still haven't made any sort of effort to bring pharmaceutical manufacturing back to North America. We rely on China and India for an insane percentage of our meds.

It doesn't sound like the dam is threatened, but it's not very effective at actually controlling flooding. It's probably still effective at providing electric power. I guess that was the real goal and flood control was a thin justification.

Absolutely should pray first and ask God to protect His people [huge underground chuech]

But for righteous judgement

Just like here in America. We need righteous judgement meaning for the evil powers at be to have judgement for righteousness sake.

God hates the shedding of innocent blood. China is and has been doing many evil things particularly since the cabal took them over.

Are we really sure 400 million people would be affected? Just thinking about all of the stories about construction of ghost towns in China.

It isn't the Chinese people who are our enemy, it's the crime family known as the CCP. Its the poor rice farmers, shop keepers, etc. who will pay the price. No high ranking CCP officials will drown.

At least there's still India. Regardless, It's because of this more reasons are needed to hammer home why critical infrastructure and manufacturing need to be here, no matter the cost. Even supporting manufacture in central and South America would be a better than reliance on China.

Bring on the floods.

I saw a documentary, when thr dam was built the CCP relocated over 1,000,000 peasants. Im sure they were well compensated for their family homesteads.

They would if it were white people. Secretly the left dreams of white genocide. The sick thing is it is white liberals doing the dreaming.

Interestingly enough, the Three Gourges project was one of the first where the government offered some compensation that was included with the pointy end of a rifle.

I'm shocked the Chinese version of the EPA let them do the project. I'm sure it was challenged in court right

No. Just 85% of them, and that's being conservative.

Fact.

Feel had for the peasants.

But considering the ****ty state of the world due to corona virus amd their country's infiltration, manipulation, and outright purchasing of our politicians and theft of our country's IP.

I will say that Karma is indeed a *****

This is very sad to see playing out, as the Chinese have always suffered from floods from a certain government indiffference.

In June 1938 Chiang-Kai-shek sacrificed about 2 *million* Chinese dwellings by blowing the dy kes on the Yellow River to stop a Japanese army advance on Hankow.

Michael Yon has been posting about this recently:

Quote:
Caution Level High -- I've been saying since January to prepare for meager times. To reiterate -- do it. Stock up on any pharmaceuticals you may need and be prepared to self-sustain on water, food, cooking gas, battery power.

In addition to all the rest of the 2020 "stuff," if this dam breaks your life WILL be affected. Not maybe.
Remember the triangle I often mention:
Any one of these that is BIG always brings the other two:
1) War
2) Pandemic
3) Famine

If Three Gorges Dam (TGD) breaks, we are guaranteed Pandemic and Famine. A Chinese famine of this proportion will affect global food prices as they buy up everything they can get.

Pandemic is pandemic. Speaking of which, no matter how confident some people sound, we still do NOT know how this CCP Virus pandemic will go. It's looking mild at this point. I'll still stick with my directional guess of a million dead Americans before it's over, but on the scale of things we will keep marching. (Of course, I do not know, but am trying my best to be directionally accurate as my own planning guide.)

That said, NOBODY on earth know which way even this CCP virus is going. Nobody. It is mild at this time. It's really just gotten to the point where it's big scale. We have not even gone through a complete annual cycle. By this time next year we will have gone through a complete single cycle where it was already big in both hemispheres. We just do not know.

To reiterate for the 100th time, my view is that USA should open up. Accept the casualties and bury our dead and keep rolling.

We have far bigger issues on the Big Board such as economic collapse, civil war, and whatever comes out of China.

We are at war internally and with China. China is transparently freaking out. China's economic prospects are horrific.

Despotic dictators are apt to do anything even on a good day.

In addition to bleeding wealth at the same rate this water is shooting through TGD, if TGD collapses, China is toast.

TGD still seems to be filling far faster than draining. Stress growing. You maybe have noticed they blew another dam this weekend to mitigate risks. That's a pretty desperate move.

I just got no idea what they will do other than be prepared for hardcore cannibalism and other mayhem at least in China.

Three Gorges Dam affects you. If it breaks, most people will be adversely affected in the short term. China will be devastated.

The good news is that this will complete most of our decoupling. The bad news is that it will be like splitting Siamese twins with a chainsaw.

Well, we have 2 choices:

1) say no and put enormous strain on China
2) say yes and make HUGE profits

It's important to know, since this is clearly Trump's fault. I just didn't think it was possible for Trump to find GW Bush's levy buster he used in Katrina.
