Three Gorges Dam in China is gonna collapse.

[Sugar]

it can fail, does not mean they did shoddy work or did not know what they were doing. No one built a dam that size before especially one that's under constant flooding

Lmaooooooooo like I said, we’ll see how this plays out

Rely on Chinese construction brehs

 

[Vandelay]

It tells me nothing about Chinese construction as a whole. I think y'all are mixing up private projects where you see buildings falling over when construction firms rush to build thousands of buildings as fast as possible and important state runs projects.
Dams fail in the US, dams fail all over the world they are not simple things to build. This one is the biggest humans ever build and it's constantly handling floods. If it was here in the US the same scenario could have played out.

It never would've been built in the US. Not because it couldn't, they just wouldn't. For as much is wrong and slow-moving in the US, regulations do keep a relative sense of safety. China has this obessession with proving they have the biggest and best everything. Posturing and ego might cause the greatest man-made disaster ever.

I doubt you'd need a whole nuclear warhead to take out a damn.

they were speaking metaphorically.
they can destroy cities with conventional weapons.
that puts them on par with a nuclear power so far as China is concerned.

 

[Vandelay]

No it wouldn’t.

Cause it wouldn’t get built cause we move so slow from regulations.

Basically. Not sure why people get off on dumping on the country they live in. Most of the stuff China is implementing was created in the US, for better or worse we just failed to implement because of bureaucracy.

I don't see the Hoover Dam having these issues.

Chinese people will have that rebuilt in 24 hours

Obligatory

PRC is some god damn retards for that one

They've repeatedly said that any country that targets the dam should expect nuclear retaliation.

If that dam goes, regardless of reason, the whole world is gonna feel it as the supply chain is gonna be wreck for a minute.

It won't be a problem....

If it's Taiwan that's a bluff. They're not gonna nuke 23 ethnically Chinese million people in retaliation no matter WHAT Taiwan does because the optics of it would lead to Tiannanmen Square 2.0, maybe worse. It would be the equivalent of Sherman's March through the South but with social media. Would they be in their legal right? Yes. But it would leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth. And if they'd be willing to do that to their OWN people, then any other country that beefs with them in the future, be it the US, Russia, UK, Japan or South Korea knows they would have to preemptively strike these crazy mfers first. I'd believe it if it's anybody else talking crazy but they won't do Taiwan like that

wont be the first or the last time that flooding has decimated China :francis;
