I don’t especially care about a .2% GDP drop in China, I’m far more “concerned” about an effect IMO 5 to 8 times that in US GDP that IMO will last at least 3 years. But of even more concern are the excuses the effects of CV-19 furnish the government and the various “hate America” factions to vandalize our system any way they can.”

Thanks for the clarification.

I do believe it was an engineered bioweapon deliberately released.

“... suffering of the common people .... Most evil regime in human history.”

You have to understand that the leadership chosen by a people is a genetic characteristic of those people. The Chinese are a naturally cooperative and obedient people, they chose communism. In contrast, take the Highlander Scots, and all the second sons of the English Nobility, most of whom migrated to America — it was no coincidence that the Scottish Enlightenment founded the Constitution.

Inviting people who are not naturally individualist to immigrate to the USA has diluted our genetic inclination to chose a well leashed form of government. Socialism and communism are here.

It is about race, well, it was about race, and we are doomed.

Perhaps the individualist genetics will concentrate once more on Mars...

>> “Most evil regime in human history.”
> “Most? Maybe.”

Sure one can argue they’re not the most evil, though I’d say their record is pretty hard to top:

- Causing tens of millions of people to die an unnatural death (not including deaths from natural and manmade-natural disasters);
- Large-scale harvesting of vital organs from healthy, innocent victims solely for profit;
- Pervasive one-child policy resulting in forced abortions regardless of how far the pregnancy is (now abandoned);
- Spreading corrupting everywhere they go;
- Releasing a deadly virus all over the world;

… just off the top of my head.

“He said we shouldn’t be looking at the dam breaking because it will likely overflow before it breaks.....watch the sides the dam...”

A few days back, another poster (who sounded knowledgeable) also recounted an opinion from professionals, that the Three Gorges Dam won’t just burst wide open, even if the water flows over the top, because of its inherent design.

The big disaster would likely be if the water overwhelms its capacity, and keeps coming.

Perhaps there are some construction defects, where the dam is not built to design however, so there might be a surprise.

It looks like the Dam will be tested again this week by the heavy rains, that water volume will likely break other things, if not Three Gorges.

The official death toll of 142 is as reliable as their CCP Virus deaths. The purposely flooded rural regions to save their big cities, in the middle of the night to avoid compensation, protest, and publicity.

This is not the 3 Gorges Dam. The name of it is China Dam.

Common tactic, worldwide. See "Birds Point Levee, Missouri". (I was under 20 miles away, straight line distance, at the time.) Blowing that levee took pressure off the entire system, including the big TVA lakes (Barkley, KY Lake) which were full to the gills, so to speak.

If it was an earthen dam you would be correct. Over topping of a concrete dam is not the same.

Does that shock you? It ought to since that is the way they view their people.

But then again, it has been noticed that there are quite a group that have arrived on this site that seem easily offended and like to disrupt sensible discourse.

I heard yesterday that if the Three Gorges Dam breaks, run to the grocery store and buy all the food you can.

China's need for food will drive shortages and higher prices worldwide will cause many to starve to death.

It's Always Something. (IAS)

A better question would be “What products do we buy from China?”

If the dam breaks, the flood would take out not only a lot of farmland, but also a huge chunk of China’s manufacturing and shipping capability.

I’ve seen mention that more than half of China’s pharmaceutical manufacturers are located in the area threatened by this flood. Can anyone confirm that for me?

One could make a strong case for Pol Pot in Cambodia too. In the case of China it’s a numbers game and the Chicoms just had more people to work with than anyone else. If one can imagine a world ruler/dictator he or she would have 7 billion of us to do evil upon.

I’m having trouble getting a feel for the terrain surrounding the dam. What are the chances of a Lake-Delton-style breach?

I can”t confirm definitively, but I have seen articles making the same point - that a lot of the global pharmaceutical/biomedical (like PPE)supply chain, lies in the path of a potential Three Gorges catastrophe - notably Wuhan, the source of most of the pre-cursor chemicals used to produce the illegal fentanyl supply in the USA, among many other products.

no it does not surprise me that the Chinese communist think about their people that way, I am surprised a person wanting sensible discourse would think it okay.
