Just to make it clear: I am not personally stating that the #ThreeGorgesDam on the Yangtze will collapse.
My point is that its problems with erosion and floods in a country which has been historically plagued by catastrophic floods are a symptomatic illustration of CCP failings.
The CCP objectives (self preservation, total domination) impulse it to use massive means to reign in its opposing forces (here: the Yangtze River) but also conflict with the self discipline needed to achieve these undertakings. This leads to actual poor results.
These results being: the #ThreeGorgesDam is actually pretty bad at flood management it turns out and if reports of its shoddy construction are true, it could turn out to be an enormous liability (300M lives at stake).
The CCP is a self defeating machine.
The question being: how many lives will it take down before self destructing?
As to whether the dam really can fail, we cannot even infer it from evacuation orders since we know the CCP reflexively attempts to cover up even in the face of impending catastrophes (CoVid19).
Two things are certain though:
• If the #ThreeGorgesDam collapses, the #CCP reign is over and history tells us that China will return to being a collection of separate countries during a transition which will cause massive loss of lives.
• No one reads my threads. 😂
