Simon says humanitarian crisis, I'm hearing significant tactical target

Short answer: Bad.
Long answer: Real fucking bad.

Finally the Yangtze River Dolphin will have its revenge

Anyone hear after the Nepal Mudslides?

China invades Taiwan

Taiwan - "I'm about to do a pro-gamer move."

I love that quote "According to OFFICIAL REPORTS,  none of the sensors have indicated any signs of stress..." You've got to know that "Official reports" and ACTUAL TRUTH are two different things in china.

"Could the dam fail?"

Never EVER underestimate the damage foolish people can cause.

In building The Three Gorges Dam, the Chinese have created one of the finest military targets available.

"The cities would be evacuated far before any danger."

Are you sure about that?

If Douglas MacArthur was still alive he’d be grinning with anticipation

Added context to the "water is loud" intro. The breaking of the ice dam on Lake Missoula during the ice age and following rush of water is speculated to be the loudest non-explosive noise humans have ever heard. (Waaay louder than you think it was).

Watching this video reminds me of CNN's coverage of the 2020 riots. The anchor, while standing in front of a city block on fire, calmly explains that everything is peaceful....then subsequently runs off....

They really did build themselves a Sword of Damocles

As someone who read World War Z back in the day, this question has irrationally haunted me for years

"How bad would it be if the Three Gorges Dam failed?

Taiwan: If China attacks us, you'll find out.

Yeah don't worry Chinese government definitely warns citizens😂

Of course China builds all their infrastructure with incredible quality control and never fudges data and their buildings are never Tofudreg

Maybe the question should be, are all the large dams upstream of the Three Gorges dam safe also. Would the loss of one of those dams take out the Three Gorges dam?

Simon briefly mentioned Dai Qing but her accomplishments can never be understated. This is a woman who wrote a book going against the narrative of arguably the most totalitarian nation to ever exist and was held in such high regard in the local community that the police turned up a day before she was officially to be taken into custody, warning her to escape the country. "As a citizen of a country, I cannot leave her. And I have to criticise it in order to build a more perfect and stronger one." I hope I never have kids but if they had half the strength of that woman, I’d be a proud father.

Two things I'm really grateful for. 1 I didn't take that manufacturing job in what would be the path of this disaster. And 2. China has always been so trustworthy when it comes to sharing unbiased honest data. So you know those sensors have never alerted anyone
