Problems with the dams. Well, after all, they are made in China.

If China moves on Taiwan, this would be an inviting target for a paralyzing counterattack.

Cheers!

This and melamine in the food should help to rid the chinese government of their ‘excess population’. Top that with the billions in relief that will pour in from the Western world if a diaster happens and you’ll see the diabolicial genius behind the neglect.

I’ve read that 19 Chinese die per day in mining accidents. That’s almost 7,000 people a year.

Didn’t you know that Bush sent secret teams of Army Engineers to sabotage the dams because he hates Chinese people?

I suspuct that more likely if the Three Gorges were to go, Beijing would blame it on Taiwan, and use it as an excuse to attack.

Oops, sorry...missed your reference.

Not Art Bell, though George Noory should be taken out and shot for treason. :(

The upset of Earth's rotation by so many high-up-in-elevation dams in the Northern Hemisphere was told to me by an engineer.

(They know "Physics"! That's some scary stuff to me). ;-)
