Another Three Gorges Dam update. Current water level capacity at 174.96 meters AND continuing to rise. The outflow is actually decreasing, while inflow is steady, indicating that in the next hour the levels could easily reach capacity of 175 meters. Current levels are 1.6 inches away from capacity. Brace yourselfs, Anons.
That’s where the charts i copypasta’d come from. My problem with that unsubstantiated “normalcy” is that the reservoir has only reached 175 meters once… in October of 2010.
I’m glad you brought that up. I keep thinking Taiwan. 3 billion dollar arms deal done with US in the last few days. Certainly looks like they might have the ability to compromise that structure. If we are watching a movie, the arms deal is practically ancient history and the dam will be to follow. If the dam broke on its own, It would be fair to speculate that Taiwan would be accused by the CCP regardless so it they could decide to take a proactive approach.
I just don’t see a winning angle for Taiwan without instantaneous victory as they would be decimated in any short to long term world war… and with a compromised 3GD and an arms deal with US…. why not go for it? Also. the dam just reached capacity. Inflow is outpacing outflow by 6,000 m^3.
Have always wanted to travel there. Im 23 y/o.. had several Taiwanese-born friends in college. Waiting to visit them post covid bullshit. They rave about it.
