Really? You can’t imagine Biden bringing in a million refugees, and sending food aid to China?

The best thing for them to do is run out there and wash their cars (with soap) and then move to more temperate climes.

Possible PR angle for China:

Let Xi’s smile be your umbrella. Then you can go Xinging, just Xinging in the rain.

As Zhean Kai Lee sang it.

I’m hoping the Three Gorges Dam gives way this year. They need rain. Lots and lots of rain.

I understand where you're coming from, but many millions would die. It is a hard thing to wish for.

Ha ha, such clumsy, ham-handed internal propaganda by the Chinese.
Our government’s internal propaganda is far more sophisticated!

When are a majority of the Chinese going to realize that that’s not a golden waterfall, it’s the Communist Party pissing on their heads?

Here’s how the CCP will put a positive spin on this “heavy rains and flooding” story.

The headlines of their puppet papers will say:

“The marvelous CCP has programmed the rains to give one million Chinese citizens a free shower or bath”.

If Three Gorges has a catastrophic failure, there goes Nanking and Shanghai.

Of course I can imagine Biden bringing in “refugees” (All Leftists subscribe to the ‘let no crisis go to waste’ so I could see them sending a million refugees(spies) here) and sending food aid, but my focus in that post was different.

If there were a breach of the Three Gorges Dam and it wiped out the entire 90 million card carrying members of the Chinese Communist Party, I would view that as unfortunate for them but better for the world since I view them as the locus of tyranny and evil in our current and future world.

But I would not feel the same about any of the rest of the 1.3 billion who might be affected directly or indirectly. Not wishing that misery on them. I would have human compassion for them.

For the Chinese Communist Party, not so much.

If it suited them ideologically, they would murder a billion people and not bat an eye. They have shown they have no problem with murdering tens or hundreds of millions of their own people for ideological purposes, one can only imagine the contempt and devaluing of human life that would be evident if they were going to murder non-Chinese.

The Chinese are one of the most racist countries on earth, and they don’t place any value on non-Chinese, never mind Chinese they disagree with.

Yes. I read that book about the Johnstown Flood, and Three Gorges would be far, far worse, no doubt.

I recall reading about the train engineer, driving his train just in front the the onrushing flood, frantically blowing his whistle to warn people.

I can’t imagine that nightmare scene.

As Freeper left that other site stated, a huge number of people were displaced against their will from their ancestral homes.

Think of it as Eminent Domain, run by evil people who have contempt for you, and no recognition of any individual rights or individual hardship.

That is Communist China. They build rocket launch pads that put citizens squarely in the path of disaster in the event of a failure. A failed launch wiped out a town some years ago, and recently, just missed hitting a grammar school.

It is what they do. Evil.

I am reading about the Krakatoa Explosion in 1883...that was a tsunami 130 feet high.

One can only imagine with horror that wall of water.
