Well, we know how well Chinese engineering stands up in earthquakes. God, help the downstream Chinese.

"Well, we know how well Chinese engineering stands up in earthquakes."

Correct. For all their effort, this level of engineering often seems ultimately beyond them. The endemic corruption, cutting corners, etc. all end up going badly in the end.

From their past actions, it's pretty obvious that the Chinese government could care less if millions of their own citizens get obliterated if this monstrosity fails. The "international community" would show more sympathy than the bastards in Bejing. As much as I don't like to admit it, I wouldn't be shedding any tears. The Chinese are not our friends.
