I feel bad for the people. But that regime needs to fall. Red China has been bad for the world.

400 million people and what percent of their economy? I dont wish death on them but to destroy their economy is a different matter entirely.

Did the Three Gorges Dam really deform, or was that just a bad photo?

Dont waste your feel badness too much. The Chinese people would not bother to piss on you if you were on fire.
To: BenLurkin
I believe it did... that can’t be good

7 gates open. Apparently there are >60.
Problem then is: is the decision made to open more gates and be responsible for devastating floods downstream? or let the already damaged dam fail, doing more damage but avoiding blame?
Damed if they do, damed if they dont...

I talked to a friend with the USACE. He says their dam monitoring group does not think it’s in danger of failing.

There have been several reports that it has moved, and aerial photographs confirm. That dam is going to fail.

The CCP has to make a decision- either save Chongqing by releasing water, inundating Wuhan and potentially Shanghai, or save the downstream cities and let Chongqing be severely damaged. The design teams from the 3 Gorges dam made that point very clear long ago.
The 3 Gorges dam cannot manage both ends of the Yangtze.
