Got to be wet markets.
Damn. That's a shame.
Definitely a Google Maps anomaly.
I guess someone needs to warn Outer Mongolia.
Should have built a wall
Don't care

Two dams in China's northwestern region of Inner Mongolia have collapsed after torrential rain, the water ministry said on Monday, highlighting the safety risks posed by ageing infrastructure during the summer flood season.
The dams, in the Inner Mongolian city of Hulunbuir, collapsed on Sunday afternoon. They had formed reservoirs with a combined water storage capacity of 46 million cubic metres, the Ministry of Water Resources said.
People living downstream were evacuated, with no casualties reported, it said.
The ministry said that on average, 87 millimetres of rain fell in Hulunbuir over the weekend and as much as 223 millimetres at the Morin Dawa monitoring station.
Quote:
Hulunbuir's city government said on its WeChat account that 16,660 people have been affected, with 326,622 mu (53,807 acres) of farmland submerged. Bridges and other transport infrastructure had also been destroyed.
Footage posted on Chinese social media showed one of the dams being completely swept away by the water, inundating nearby fields.
China has more than 98,000 reservoirs used to regulate floods, generate power and facilitate shipping. More than 80% of them are four decades old or older, and some pose a safety risk, the government has acknowledged.

A lack of financial resources means that nearly a third of the total number have not had mandatory safety appraisals completed, Wei Shanzhong, deputy water resources minister, told a briefing this year.
That doesn't appear to be a safe place to watch that, to me.

Where can I get some dam bait?

In the first few seconds of the video "no injuries were reported"...maybe so, maybe not, but how could anyone believe this??aggiehawg said:
Also, does the sun ever shine in China? Every image or video I ever see seems to be hazy, overcast and utterly depressing.
Good. Wipe em out
Pollution. Go watch older movies with broad shots of LA or New York in 70s and early 80s. Smog was awful.Quote:

A lot of farmland wiped out. Will be some food shortages in that area. Not to mention power will be out for awhile.Boo Weekley said:Problem is, it won't harm anyone in power.Jbob04 said:

I am just saying, this doesn't hurt any of the CCP. This just hurts innocent rural people. It was in response to the "good, wipe em out" post.aggiehawg said:A lot of farmland wiped out.

No one cares less about even tens of thousands of Chinese lives than the Chinese government
Especially rural Chinese lives

May be time for another virus release. That's what happened last year while under national food rationing.aggiehawg said:A lot of farmland wiped out. Will be some food shortages in that area.

EVERYTHING MADE IN CHINA IS CRAP.
Watch just the first 55 seconds to make your jaw drop but I would watch the whole thing. I would be terrified of being in any building that was made after 1949 deadly. Happens again and again and again. A lot of times the thumbnail pics on videos are clickbait. Nope not these. There are obviously more.

Understood. My point being food shortages do tend to get attention within and outside of China. Watch commodities markets and see how they react to gauge how important or non-important this really is.
That water looks more like a cement slurry.
Shenzhen's third tallest skyscraper, the 356 meters tall SEG Plaza, shook once again for the third time in May after similar shaking on the 18th and 19th.
SEG Plaza building shaking like a mofo. They try to blame subway trains and winds.....

No, it's air pollution. Which is why any climate change policies that aren't enforced against China are pointless.
Welp, dam building technology must be something of ours they haven't stolen.
No injuries or deaths reported: since when did the pandemic managers in China start managing massive flooding.

Thanks for posting that. WOW!
We have a building or engineering failure, one, every decade or so and we get outraged.
China has dozens a year, every year and nothing. That footage of the walls in a newly built building? I am very familiar with mudding a wall, even adobe walls but that's the weirdest mud wall I have ever seen in a high rise.

They steal our technology, realize we over-engineer for safety reasons, and make it cheaper with inferior materials and cut corners. Then **** breaks, and they don't really care if a thousand or more people die.
Yeah, google tofu dreg buildings is the term they use to describe these buildings . The ccp has destroyed china on so many levels. Sad really.
