if there was ever an actual single combined city capable of holding 260M people, flooding would be massive since there would prolly never be a drainage system capable of moving that amount of water during heavy rain

Liberals will love it...it’s close to shopping and
you can take the bus anywhere.
Not trying to sound bigoted or racist here but how in The Wide World of Sports did there ever come to be so many Chinese?
Would love to see how they propose to environmentally dispose of the sewage.
My God, a city with almost the population of the U.S.
What if they all flushed at the same time.
That’s how they plan on employing half the population. Maybe they’ll issue buckets....
Met coal in the dumpster. Might be a buy signal if this clears.
Not the place you want to be during the zombie apocalypse...
The Commies of Collyfornya have their high-speed rail to nowhere, and the Commies of Beijing have their high-rise containment facilities for everyone.
That's one huge city. Dominoes Pizza will have to rethink its "free delivery anywhere in the city" offer there.
China had 163.

they'd be better off filling all the ghost cities they built...
Aren't you a little old to be getting the birds and bees" talk?
Talk about a ghetto!
Or the inevitable highly-contagious air-transmission version of the bird flu. With what we’ve seen passing for sanitation, health care, and government honesty in publicizing and treating epidemics, that city could see weekly death tolls of a million or more before anybody even realizes that something is more wrong than usual.
I am becoming a fan of John Calhoun, a 20th century scientist who dealt with the effects of population density. He performed some experiments on rats where he build rat cities where all of their needs, except infinite living space, were taken care of. These rat utopias all had the same end, population growth until a point when the behavior of rat society fell apart, followed by a complete and permanent collapse of the rat city.
His experiments became very famous, and were debated endlessly as to whether they applied to humans. Then he sort of fell out of fashion. But if he is correct, these Chinese cities, no matter how successful they are, or even because of their success, will be the cause of the collapse of China.
...how in did there ever come to be so many Chinese?
Simple...they limited each family to one child.
