And if you believe the “safe” part, I have a great bridge in Brooklyn for sale.

Hold the water back until it complete collapses and washes away 400 million people and a sizable percent of Chinas stolen industrial base? Will that be enough to overthrow the communist government?

> The official Xinhua News Agency quoted the operator of the the worlds largest hydroelectric gravity dam as saying that some nonstructural, peripheral parts of the dam had buckled. <
In other words, we are not going to tell you anything significant. Instead we are going to set up a smokescreen and then hope for the best.
Kinda like how they handled the Wuhan Flu.

YES! THIS! Concrete is supposed to warp and bend! It’s a feature, not a bug!

If they are willing to admit that a concrete dam is deformed, if I was Downstream I would get the heck out of there.

Well on the downside, that could be enough to get them to start World War 3.
We haven’t seen Another World War because all of the major countries have too much to lose. Put one in a desperate position with little to lose and we’re all in jeopardy.

I didn’t know the USACE had a dam safety unit that monitored dams worldwide until recently. According to a friend of a friend in that group, the Three Gorges Dam is not in danger.

"not one of the 12,000 sensors fitted throughout the humongous concrete barrier had ever flashed red on the central control panel."
Bad sensors?

They’re patching it up with duct tape.

And if you believe the safe part, I have a great bridge in Brooklyn for sale. On the other hand, if one had a dime every time Freepers hyperventilated about some impending calamity concealed by a conspiracy, one would be rich.

Flex Tape MUCH better at water sealing than duct tape...
