Did you see the part where they actually admitted that the Three Gorges Dam buckled and bent from the flooding last year? They only admitted to it because it was noticeable from satellite view.
I am also interested to see what effect all this flooding will have on their agriculture in the near future. Since they sacrificed a lot of their farm land to save their cities from flooding, and Chinese rivers are more or less toxic sludge.
I saw it on China Uncensored, where there was some satellite company (may have even been US Intel) that pointed out in a report that satellite images had showed the dam was bending slightly (as well as MASSIVE silt build up at the base of the outflow ramps). And then China Daily (the English propaganda network) put out an article saying something to the effect of "We have spoken with Chinese engineers and they assure us that the dam was designed to bend and not suffer any damage. But they are still going to be doing minor repairs in the near future."

I actually hadn't seen that, or at least I don't remember it.

The Chinese also may or may not be suffering from a nuclear incident, on top of them having major flooding for the second year in a row.
...you know, just in case you were wondering why some of the bolder Chinese citizens are whispering about the Mandate of Heaven.
If you check out Google Earth, the Three Gorges Dam is replaced with a 3D render.
