Three Gorges Dam May Collapse
Various | 06/23/2020 | struggle

Posted on 06/23/2020 9:56:07 AM PDT by struggle

The Three Gorges Dam is one of the biggest if not the biggest gravity dam in the world. China is currently seeing record flooding, with three-four days of rain still in the future for the area around the dam.

When the dam was under construction, they asked foreign consultants to come in and inspect the dam. The consultants noted poor concrete quality and insufficient rebar supports. The Chinese then kicked the consultants out and called them racist.

A good video of the extent of the flooding.

The dam itself has taken damage from a 2012 earthquake and is now currently stressed. If it were to break, millions of lives could be at stake, especially since a huge amount of power is wired through the dam, thus, if it breaks during the night, people could be making a blind rush into the dark and into a wall of water.

I like to say, and this is original me, that the Chinese are really good at making things that look just like the real thing...


You have said it very well.

Chinese manufacturing does only one thing really well - deceive the customer.

Cut apart a cheap ChiCom kitchen tool like you can get at your grocery store. You will find stainless-plated pot-metal held together by whale snot.

Chinese manufacturing is more like making a Hollywood movie set, than anything else.

The problem described is one of purchasing rather than manufacturing. If you buy cheap you get cheap.

There is very likely a more expensive version of the same Chinese product available.

I’ve seen the videos of the two guys who traveled to the various deserted cities in China, buildings that were made just a few years before, falling apart

They aren’t predicting it

The story says “may” and then discusses what foreign structural engineers were concerned about when they were asked to look at it

Actually, that WAS the expensive version. The cheap one is made of sticks.

In most cases, they are making something for a Western market that they do not understand, or frankly, care about. Why should they?

I thought they would be too busy Torturing Dogs to death at their “Obama” Dog Meat Extravaganza to notice a problem with their Dam.

I assume it was built as well as the Soviet Union built the Containment Dome at Chernobyl. Oh wait, they didn’t need one of those silly Containment Domes. A Tin Shed did the job.

Since that theory deals with Water.

Did Mad Maxine Waters come up with that theory?

Or was it this clown again?

Rep. Hank Johnson thinks that due to overpopulation, Guam might tip over and capsize. He doesn’t look like he’s joking either.

I think the estimate is 60M dead if the dam suddenly collapses. Something that India, no doubt, knows too.

The ChiComs aren’t really as atheistic as the Soviets were. They generally give a pass to Confucianism and Chinese folk religion, because the ChiComs are still nationalistic and those things are native to the culture.

See, if you had been a Who fan, you would know that the right lyric is: “I’ve a feeling ‘21 is going to be a good year...”

> ...they melted down all their tools, their hammers, shovels, rakes and hoes. This is how communism works. <

I once took a course on Soviet politics. During one of their 5-year plans, this certain Soviet nail factory was given a quota. It had to produce so many tons of nails per year. Well, the manager realized it was easier to produce big nails than it was to produce small nails. So he produced nothing but really big nails.

He got a medal for meeting his quota. The big nails just sat in the back lot and rusted. No one needed nails that big.
