Last article I read 90 million people could be effected, those above the dam by earthquakes flooding and land slides, and below the dam the same but worse.
The do have 1,100 million people, 1.1 billion.
So ya never know, thinning the heard, bad thought.”
90 million out of 1100 million is 8%.
That’s like us losing 26 million out of 328 million.

The difference being that Americans have a nationalist sense within the citizenry. It is a national tragedy when 3000 die in a terrorist attack. The Republic grieves together.
In China, the government announces the damage and then says, “Meh. Lives were lost. The mighty Chinese Government will rebuild the dam. Get back to work, serfs.”
oh, AND...
it will come around to being the fault of all the serf’s secretly having more than one child or too many female children.
Mao hasn’t been dead for THAT long...
Prayers up.
