That little windshield wiper doing its best is pretty funny.

I wonder how the Chinese would cope with 100-300 million dead in a single go if the dam did break.

It depends if most of the 100-300 million dead are aged over 50 years old. Maybe they'll turn them into soylent green?

Declare a tactical victory by water, consume all the extra sustenance, continue with 100 year plan

Suiyang, one of the most brutal battles ever fought before industrial warfare. Google it for fun and horror.

Go about their business as if nothing happened, because they do not value human life.

Or the Taiping Rebellion, which handily beats the World War I death toll, and they did it without machine guns.

i love the Taiping Rebellion as much as the next guy, but when you adjust for the duration of the war and the population size of China (so, deaths per capita per month), the war isn’t even as deadly as the American Civil War (I don’t know if WW1 would be more or less deadly).

I did an essay comparing it, the War of the Triple Alliance, and the Civil War for Chinese history. Fucking cunt of a Professor gave me an F because it “didn’t feel like a Chinese history paper.”

...it's an essay. How is it supposed to feel? Like lead paint chips and rice?

I think the chinese for 100-300 million roughly translate to 'a drop in the bucket'

According to wumao this is actually Dongguan, Guangdong which is not downstream from the 3GD. IMC is just being a nigger.

Though it doesn't excuse the piss-poor city planning of founding cities right next to massive rivers that flood all the time because apparently this happens every year.

The video supports his first sentence "Floods are hitting China badly".
That post didn't assert the video was from downstream of the #GD.

People have been making this mistake since ancient times and it's all because of how important river access used to be. Rivers provided a reliable source of water and transportation, as well as supplied fertile sediments for farming. It didn't make sense to live away from the rivers they used because of the constant travel between the town and the river that that would necessitate, especially in an era before automobiles were invented. So, they built the towns next to rivers and when the town flooded, they sucked it up and moved on because it was still easier than living away from the river. This isn't so important now that we have technology to overcome the problems, but it's hard to pick up a town and move it once it's been built. Clearly they're not keen on moving if this happens every year yet they still keep coming back to it.

Indeed, most of the major cities in the United States was along the rivers and the shores.

Btw, there's one more vlog about the floods and 3GD.

I mean that depends, was it an essay on Chinese history or the average Chinese peasants diet? Because for one it would be more fitting if it did.

So the flood season is starting? Another year, and maybe it’ll be worse due to climate change. I pray everday that fucking dam will come down.

solves some problems for them. They'd blame outside aggressors, or corruption (billionaires on average only live to 47 there) and execute someone powerful and convenient. The end.

You might add tornado season to the list. Some parts of China was hit by tornadoes.
