Like the presumption that countries which do not even diplomatically recognize Taiwan would be willing to sacrifice their entire economies and tacitly enter a war against China is so funny

    I have no idea why every Westerner hates this particular dam.

      Because it demonstrates the rise of China. The world’s largest dam, an engineering marvel, does not exist in the west. It exists in a place that the west, in its heart of hearts, genuinely believes to be inferior. It’s so obvious. The same exact thing happened in the 80s and 90s with Japan too when it looked like it might even overtake the US economically

        No it exists. It’s called the Hoover Dam and the most notable thing about it is that a QAnon follower drove there and shot at it before getting arrested

      It’s destruction would kill millions of Asians.

      It’s also larger than any Western Dams.

      Hatred and Jealousy arm in arm.

      It will continue to hold water in 20 years, unlike the Hoover dam, which will have run dry
