Three Gorges Dam: The World's Most Powerful Dam

People in the west are clueless about how far China has come. You're doing a good job with your channel at showing peole whats really going on.

used to read media reports western engineers said its impossible to build the dam but when it was built , they flipped to say it will not last long, cracks have appeared , collapse is imminent and all their nonsense. Now they are silenced.

Today, China has about 87,000 dams. As of 2020, China had more than 150 dams with generating capacity of more than 300 megawatts and installed capacity of 369 gigawatts. As of 2021, China operates four of the world's six largest dams.11 Apr 2024 China has built a number of hydro power stations in my country Fiji. The Monasavu Hydro Scheme that was successfully commissioned in 1983 was the first of it’s kind for my country. It has a generating capacity of 80MW and an annual energy yield of 400GWh. My country now generates hydro-powered energy from 4 hydro power plants across the country. In total, these hydro power plants has a capacity of 209.0 MW. God bless China.

I think by now, people outside of the west have concluded that one can never trust anything coming out of western corporate media and channels. Sadly ordinary people of U$UKEUrope will continued to be misinformed and think they are still #1 Technically, U$UKEU are still #1 in a way, in terms of WMDs, propaganda and supporting for global ge no cide.

@@s.t.i.rcr.a.z.y5284 It is the refraction of light. There are a large number of water molecules in the air near the dam. When they reach a certain concentration, they will form a refraction effect like glass. The pictures taken by high-altitude optical satellites will be affected by the refraction phenomenon and appear curved.

After watching a couple of the videos people made about this and reading a few articles, it basically amounts to nothing but dipshit western people trying to profit on fear mongering something made in China. The vast majority of the "proof" or evidence they present amounts to nothing. Some examples; Oh the dam is in an earthquake zone, all that water maybe makes earthquakes more likely, and a really BAD earthquake could damage the dam and kill everybody. There's also a lot of flooding, which the Yangtze is historically known for. The dam can handle X amount of water, in the worst flooding it's seen like 70% of the amount it can handle passed through absolutely and completely fine, as intended. But it could flood 3x worse for no obvious reasons and make the dam fail and kill everybody. There are several other, older dams upriver from this one. If THOSE fail it could make a big cascade failure and take out this dam too, and kill everybody. A lot of garbage and algae and other debris from upriver collects there, and if they completely ignore that for a really long time it could pile up so bad that the dam will clog or be damaged somehow and fail, killing everybody. Oh and let's not forget how much power that dam generates. If the dam fails and kills everybody, the power it produces will also vanish which will kill everybody all over again because of widespread blackouts. That's right, the dam failing is such a terrible scary thing that it would actually kill everybody TWICE. Videos/articles about this are again just asinine fear mongering from westerners trying to make money by pandering to people who don't know anything other than what they're told, which is often "China scary, China bad!". Just look around KZbin a bit and you'll find tons of similarly themed videos. My personal favorite are the ones that show up every few months detailing how China is absolutely on the brink of complete and total collapse and they can't possibly survive much longer...like bruh, they literally have the oldest continuous civilization on the planet, with a documented history of 5000+ years, China is REAL good at making sure China survives. They play the long game like nobody else, and people just don't like to accept that for some reason.

100 kilometer range? The distance between Yichang and Chongqing is over 600 kilometers. The ride between Chongqing and Yichang and vice-versa is THE most important route for passenger cruises and until that electric cruise boat can make the distance between Yichang and Chongqing, the boat is basically useless.

借楼主澄清一个真相，秦始皇陵不是秦始皇的陵，兵马俑也不是秦始皇的兵马俑。《史记.高祖本纪》记载：“羽烧秦宫室，掘始皇帝冢，收私其财”，项羽不但掘了秦始皇墓，还将里头的财宝一扫而空。阿房宫早被烧了，秦始皇陵早被掘了。那个陵发现有"乐府"字样的乐府钟，而乐府是汉武帝才设立的。《汉书·礼乐志》：“至武帝定郊祀之礼……乃立乐府，采诗夜诵。"那个陵墓是汉代的。不是秦始皇的。兵马俑身上有臧宫二字，臧宫是东汉光武帝开国名将，而且兵马俑有发现汉代墓葬根本就不是秦兵马俑是汉兵马俑。所谓阿房宫遗址也不是什么阿房宫遗址。都是为了吹捧秦始皇的目的而指鹿为马歪曲事实。 ‌

[@张良-m8m]

真就是胡说八道。1，你引用就错了，你引用的是刘邦对项羽的控诉，而不是可考的史实。2，秦始皇陵部分有明显的火烧痕迹，恰巧符合历史，项羽火烧了始皇陵的地表建筑。3，项羽有没有挖始皇帝墓，历史没有定论，而且就项羽驻军那么短时间，想挖也挖不了。4，乐府，初设于秦，是当时少府下辖的机构。5，古代臧姓很常见，同名太正常不过。
