China Floods: Dam Collapse

Where is the military and civil defense? Oh God this does not exists in Communist utopian world...
Hey Chris, how much to put the question hat on your head after reading?
So what do you think will happen as an international response if the three gorges dam collapse? And do you think its a bad construction or purposefully leaking flood water to try to delay and destroy the Wuhan bio-lab?
There are more efficient ways of destroying lab evidence, and it's not like any country has access to the lab if they wanted to dig up dirt. Odds are that if and when the 3 Gorges Dam collapses, the west won't know for days or even weeks, because we'd learn about it from India, Vietnam or Cambodia; one of the nations that has contacts within China and can quickly get information out.
Gee, who could have seen this coming?...What with the long lead in of press releases about the imminent collapse of the dam and all. How often do communist nations like to point out a flawed major public works project for all to see? I wonder how many SARS-CoV-2 (aka the CCP Virus) deaths you could cover up with a dam collapse? Or, how many "politically unreliable" people and involuntary organ donors you can make disappear without anyone realizing that they've been "disappeared?"
I also said octarine in the comments for the "Banning CCP members" video. I am *not* Chris Chappel even if we share the same taste in octarine colored socks!
I was wondering about that. Thought Chris may have mentioned it before, and you were just humorously preempting the answer. This probably also answers another unasked question about Chris' taste in literature, which both of you apparently share.
My favorite color is purple.
QUESTION: Should the USA make a goodwill offer to send emergency help to China to help with the floods? The Marine assault ships have boats and helicopters that can be used for rescues. A medical ship could save lives.
Hopefully your suggestion for the US sending aid is genuine but China under CCP subjugation isn't the same as other countries if another country is going through natural disasters at this scale. Other countries would welcome any aid or rescue effort. Meanwhile CCP would attempt to close off the disaster zone to everyone, even locals and out-of-towners that want to go help. The only people they would allow in is the PLA and state media to control the narrative and suppressive and arrest anyone criticising the CCP for not doing more sooner.
Feel for the plight of good people everywhere and anywhere.
damn them dams
What is with all the dam joke? Dam it all! ...No, wait.
Question: Since the CCP uses propaganda and censorship to paint a rosy, wonderland image for their country, is it fair to call China an "Empire of Illusions"?
It only provides 5% of electricity needed in the country. How are the dams from the 1930’s doing? The ones made before the culture revolution?
Question: The Chinese government has said that the Three Gorges Dam is a hydroelectric dam that provides electricity to millions of people and a flood control dam for the Yangtze River basin. Since hydroelectric dams must have a high head — "head" meaning the height of the water behind the dam — to drive the turbines, and flood control dams must have a low head to provide sufficient capacity for flood waters, how did they design it to do both at the same time?
