      On top of the colossal loss of life and property, there's this little nugget to consider (scroll up and down thread). Man I hope that dam holds.https://twitter.com/man_integrated/status/1287837524015091712 …

      In simple terms, the Yangtze River logistics and manufacturing complex comprises 46% of the volume of the largest port on earth, since all cargo flows through Shanghai. Failure of the Three Gorges Dam would annihilate the entire logistics infrastructure of central China. 25/

      Well consider this, the CCP will not allow her to fail even if that means flooding everything down stream. So it’s unlikely that the dam will fail. But… Flooding

      CCP may not be entirely in control of the situation * structural problems might exist * inflow might be faster than outflow even with all sluices open

      also, while a dam failure would be HUGE, and terrible, that thread is alarmist and suffers from Zero Hedge disease of assuming the absolute worst case and multiplying by 10 declares that China needs "protein" (no, it doesn't; carbs will do), asserts refrigerator ships shortage >

          Yeah, the further down the thread you go, the more reddit fanfic alt-history it gets. If the dam actually collapsed, the Central committee the CCP would be too busy trying to shoot each other and keep their party in power than to start some war w/ whatever assets they have left

          And says that losing 2% of their electrical capacity would scres up their grid, when you'd also be destroying way more than 2% of their demand.
