It might be the Yellow River, China’s 2nd longest. If so, the color is from silt. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_River

It is called the Yellow River for a reason.

Also called The River of Sorrow.

I’d still prefer them taken out.

We get most chips from Taiwan.

If the CCP builds dams with the same quality control that they build skyscrapers, bad things are getting ready to happen.

If that dam broke it would send china back yrs.

Works for me although I do feel for all the people who would suffer and die from it.

But the CCP needs to be cut down to size.

Shanghai (Largest), and Wuhan (9) would be in the flood path. Wuhan would be wiped off the face of the Earth

If the Three Gorges Dam breaks, will the Earth return to it’s normal rotation as before the dam was filled?

I have read that about 30% of their electricity production comes from there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not even close. In 2020, 3 Gorges set a record for electrical energy in that it generated 111.8 billion kWh which broke the record of Itaipu Dam (joint project of Paraguay and Brazil). 3 Gorges has an installed generating capacity of 22,500 MegaWatts (32 units at 700 MW each).

Also in 2020 but for all of China, total electrical energy generation was 7,623,600 billion kWh and their generating capacity was 2,200,580.000 MW.

3 Gorges represents closer to 1% of what China generates.

For what it’s worth, China generates more electricity than the United States, India and Russia combined...

Wuhan is actually a really pretty city. The river smells like a sewer, but the city is pretty.

I really don’t think the Communist Chinese care if this dam breaks. It is very sad.

And 400 MILLION people in flood able areas downstream, hopefully including 9p% of their military.

Once the floodwaters reach the ocean, will it tip Guam over?
