Who has dam bursting for September?
-
I wouldn't be downstream of the dam right now. Chinese quality control can be lacking sometimes.

I don’t remember exactly but something like 25% of Chinese production takes place in that valley that could be flooded.
So that’s like 300MM people suddenly looking for another food supply.

I've been following this since the monsoons started, since it effects Wuhan and my suppliers. It would be catostrophic if this, the largest such dam in the world, were to give way. Critical threshhold is 185 meters, where the water would come over the top. That can't happen, they can discharge enough water, but of course that flooda all the cities that are on the Yangtse river. It really is amazing how this flood of floods is barely mentioned by the MSM. Oh yeah, I forgot, they're busy.
Taiwan is probably the only source where reasonable information can manage to get out. Otherwise, it's the CCP spin on everything.

This is a live camera, although there have been times when someone has caught the CCP running a loop.
Is it live. . . or is it CCP. -
China is suffering from massive flooding even with the dam holding. It's been going on for months now. The CCP, in an effort to calm the people, did news stories showing all the grain they had stockpiled to keep them from panicking over the massive crop destruction. What they found when they got into their grain reserves was that most of it had been ruined.
It doesnt matter how hard the CCP tries to avoid buying grain from the US over the next couple of months. They don't have much choice. It's either buy American grain, or face mass starvation in china. Not something the CCP wants to have to deal with at this point where the communist party is beginning to crack. It's going to be a seller's market.
