Has anybody thought about those rumors of the folks that claimed that the building of the Three Gorges dam would put unknown stress on a fault line possibly creating earthquakes?

Irony indeed, a nation that will collapse by its own ideas of expansion.

I think you're getting carried away. China lost perhaps 10m people in WWII and the Chinese Civil War (slightly over 2% of the population then). It's still standing. Heck - Germany lost 10% of its population in WWII. It's still standing. I wouldn't break out the bubbly just yet.
