Heavy rains have hit various regions in China, including Shangxi, Sichuan, Chongqing, Yanan, Guizhou, Anhui, and Jiangsu, leading to widespread flooding. The Ministry of Water Resources reported the formation of Yangtze River Flood No. 2 of 2024 on July 11, resulting in significant flooding. In response, three flood discharge gates were opened at the Three Gorges Dam to manage rising water levels, but it was insufficient to control the flooding. From July 11 to July 12, 12 districts and counties in Chongqing experienced heavy rain, and 29 rivers surpassed warning levels, causing severe flooding. Videos show floodwaters from power plants causing river surges, and the Quow districts of Chongqing, Dangiang, Fangu, Yunyang, and neighboring areas faced extensive flooding, causing significant damage and losses. Roads, homes, and shops were flooded, with water levels exceeding warning marks by almost 2 meters in some areas, and many highways were closed due to landslides and flash floods. The flooding led to casualties, missing persons, deaths, and displacement, with many towns and villages, including farmland, inundated, disrupting lives and livelihoods.

Yes there is flooding in China but the Three Gorges is not overflowing.
I always say that the biggest engineering feat in human history and disaster is the Three Gorges Dam.
Lots of wasted ‘green’ megawatts there!
They have enough coal plants to make up the difference.
The chicoms divert water to poor villages and drown them to protect their municipalities.
400 million people downstream, that’ll make a dent in the population if it bursts.
That is an intense and incredible amount of water.

I think it would be a big chink in their plans
Two words: “tofu dregs”.

Big chink?
Biggest target on earth. One of them.
Yes, fakenews. The spillways being open does not equal “...dam overflowing”.
china’s controlled genocide
With our coal.
James is dead!
That was pretty epic when I saw it during the original broadcast.
