    You have to wonder how much tofu-dreg project product was used in the construction. One of the worst things is that often no warning is given to those downstream.
    There is talk that the Three Gorges Dam project is going too be dismantled. That will be a huge undertaking. Couple this with China's looming energy shortage and they are looking at a serious economic decline.
    The only upside for them is that most of the population can survive poverty unlike those in the West who are going to be in real trouble in a couple of years. Makes me wish I had gone rural when I was younger.

    They are on pace to set new records for newly built coal fired power plants. They don't care about any green new deal or any other "agreements" especially those in Paris. They will do whatever they want and ignore all the whining from everyone else.

    China's stoush with Australia has cut their coal supply, Russia has other commitments. China's coal is low quality and because of some internal policies that is in short supply as well. Right now they have blackouts across the country. Combined with the 'covid' scamdemic shipping restrictions and international companies pulling out their economy is looming on the verg of collapse.
    Not the only country with energy problems either and nearly all politically created.

    Having actually had family and friends die from the effects of COVID-19 (referred to above as a scamdemic) we didn't see any evidence of a scam during long, painful deaths. Having talked to actual doctors (which I am certain you are NOT) concerned about lack of space and supplies to treat those sick with COVID-19 they didn't see any scamming either. Maybe in NZ your government fabricated the whole thing... or maybe kept you in the dark about the reality of it...

    Whilst I don't doubt that your family did die of something pretty nasty, can you explain why no freedom of information request WORLD WIDE has turned up one proof of existence for covid19 sure, they told you that it was covid 19, what proof do you have that they weren't telling porkies?

    Personally I am waiting for the jabs to start taking effect and doing what they were designed to do as I am tired of trying to have rational discussions using verifiable facts and hard data with what appear on first encounter to be normal people
    Roll on beer time.
    P.S. The Earth isn't flat ? ? ?
