jesus fuck those repies are the worst. its literally just a geographic map of a landmass and these clowns are saying shit like "haha you forgot to include taiwan!!! watch out evil ccp is going to hunt you down!!!" or "china? more like tibet and xina!!!!" or "haha coronavirus" or posting the picture of pooh bear xi for no aparent reason. god these insufferable fools
Just remember: All the cHiNa bAd comments in the world won't change the fact that the U.S. is a dying empire in decline while China only keeps ascending. :xi-lib-tears:
But but but Three Gorges Dam! Incoming economic collapse! Desertification! Rebellion from their oppressed citizens!
Oh these wildfires and these summer-long riots? Just part of a functioning democracy :amerikkka:
I've traveled quite a bit in inland Fujian and there's so much forest cover it's crazy. The whole coastline is developed, and then a couple of hours in it's nothing but bamboo/pine covered hills and small towns in the valleys between them.
The last major famine they had was largely human caused, that's the official party stance too.
Well yeah, even by Wikipedia standards it was a smaller famine than previous ones in China.
But also a fuckload of bridges and tunnels that would never get built anywhere else due to the massive amounts of material, labour, and time required.
Yeah, it's messing my mental image up. Probably something to do with the low resolution right?
I had to go to google maps and have a peek through their 3D view to see if I could see much of a difference.
that's nuts, I realized shit got pretty mountainous but I didn't realize just how mountainous it really was
For real, same. It’s pretty incredible how much more information you get thinking in 3D (I mean, in hindsight, that should be obvious).
But that one for the Indian subcontinent, I sorta knew that northern India was more populated but never really knew why. Turns out, topography! (Probably). Same with Rome being on a peninsula surrounded by mountains, pretty damn defensible.
The only thing a little disappointing about that Twitter account is that they aren’t standardized. I suspect the British Isles aren’t as extreme as the picture in the feed makes it out to be, but maybe I’m wrong.
imagine if the mountains were actually like that lmao
kicking the dalai lama off a cliff energy
What do the red vs beige mountains represent? Also, are there like, gigantic lakes in east China? What are the blue patches?
each color represents diferent altitudes, blue is for sea level/below sea level
