New Great Wall in China facing the risk of failure

Over the past century, rising sea levels have threatened China more significantly than most countries. According to predictions by scientists at Climate Central, an American NGO, by 2100, 43 to 57 million Chinese could find themselves living below the high-tide line.
According to a report released by China’s Ministry of Natural Resources in April, the country’s coastal sea level has risen an average of 4 mm per year since 1993, compared with a global average increase of 3. 4 mm. In 2022, the sea level on China’s coasts rose 10 mm.
