The Secret Chinese Simulation of a Three Gorges Dam Collapse

Hello everyone, welcome back. Tonight let's continue our discussion of the Three Gorges Dam because explosive new information has been leaked from inside China. Someone connected to the very organization responsible for managing the dam revealed highly sensitive information and may now be paying the price. The timing of this leak could not be more relevant. China has been struck with extraordinary flooding in recent weeks. We've seen reservoirs having overflown, a number of dams have failed, and entire communities have disappeared beneath muddy water. And now people are asking an even more frightening question. What about the ultimate disaster waiting further upstream? People are again asking or talking about the Three Gorges Dam. Let me show you, let me give you some visual aid. Yeah, the Three Gorges Dam and the possibility that it could one day collapse. Now in my last program, I told you about a claim that someone working within the Three Gorges system had revealed that the dam was experiencing a leak or a leakage measured at 30 square meters per hour. And that members of the senior leadership had moved their families away under the pretext of offsite training. It seems that the dam's collapse is only a matter of time and the affected population, according to that original claim or leak, would be in the hundreds of millions. At the time, I made it clear to you that I could not independently verify that claim. But little did I know that just two days later, this rumor seems to be confirmed. Of course, indirectly, as we now receive more information. Yesterday, the same dissident published a follow-up post claiming that an executive within the Three Gorges system had been taken away for leaking this sensitive information. And his name was identified, his name was Wu Qiren. And then as soon as people heard that, they started searching for his name online and discovered that the CCP inadvertently confirmed these online rumors. Because on July 21st, just two days ago, China's top anti-corruption authorities suddenly announced that this Wu Qiren, the general manager of China Three Gorges Corporation's Guangxi branch, had been placed under investigation. Actually, here's the announcement. Yeah, he was under investigation for suspected, quote, serious violations of discipline and law. According to allegations now circulating outside China, Wu was not taken away simply because of money or corruption. He was taken away because of what he knew and what he allegedly revealed. According to this source, Mr. Wu had spoken about the true scale of the casualties from the recent flooding in Guangxi, probably because he was personally involved, because he was the head of the Three Gorges Corporation in Guangxi. He was the branch manager, so he was involved in the rescue effort. So in the previous leak, the source claimed that the true death toll in the Hengzhou area of Guangxi was approximately 17,000, not the official figure of 38. He also alleged that the military had sealed off the affected area while authorities attempted to dispose of the bodies. And according to the claim, officials initially considered cremating them, but abandoned the idea because the heavy smoke would attract attention and arouse suspicion. The source then alleged that concentrated sulfuric acid was being used to dispose of the bodies. And then he also, this Mr. Wu also reportedly told others about a horrifying scene during the cleanup operation. He said, hundreds of bodies were packed together at a bend in the river, where the current was flowing backward. The scene was enough to make one tremble. There was not enough manpower to handle it, so excavators had to be used. But many more bodies were discovered underwater. The authorities are now doing everything they can to cover it up. Okay, that's horrific, but that was only part of the story. The source claims that Mr. Wu also spoke about something far more sensitive. Hundreds of pages of classified disaster simulations examine what would happen if the Three Gorges Dam collapsed. And this raises a deeply disturbing possibility. Perhaps Beijing has always understood that the Three Gorges Dam is not indestructible. Perhaps far away from TV cameras and official propaganda, Chinese authorities have spent years calculating precisely what would happen if their celebrated project of the century suddenly failed. And for decades, the CCP has presented the project, the Three Gorges Dam, as one of its greatest engineering triumphs. But at the same time, Beijing may have been quietly preparing for the possibility that it could one day collapse. Now, according to a video provided by the source, Chinese authorities had already produced detailed projects covering the first 72 hours, the first week, three months, and even six months after a hypothetical dam failure. These are the reports, hundreds of pages that you're looking at. The simulation reports assumed that the entire dam fails suddenly, while the reservoir is at its maximum normal water level of 175 meters. The collapse occurs instantaneously, releasing approximately 39.3 billion tons of water. I have taken images from the video. The video is what the source provided to support the claim that there exists a simulation study, hundreds of pages, and Mr. Wu is the person who has leaked it, and that's why he is in trouble right now. So I play you the video, but what we did was taking snapshots of the video, showing the couple of pages, and blow it up, and then study them. So these were not vague emergency plans. They contained detailed calculations showing how the floodwaters would spread, which cities would be submerged, how transportation networks would collapse, how many people would be affected, and how much of China's economy will be destroyed. Of course, we do not have access to the full report. The person filming the video showed only a couple of pages, but even those few pages are extraordinarily detailed and highly revealing. So let's go over them one by one. Okay, let me remove this. What happened? What happened? Here we go. Oh, this is Mr. Wu. This is him. Yep. And here's the internet claim with the video. I cut out the video just to save some space on the screen, but I play you the video. Okay, so let's talk about the reports because it's very informative. So the first image photographed or taken from the video shows the areas projected to be flooded 168 hours or seven days after the collapse. The red dot on the far left marks the location of the dam. And according to the projected timeline, the peak of the flood wave would reach the area around Yichang in Hubei province within six hours. After 24 hours, it would reach Jingzhou and then Wuhan. After 72 hours, it would reach Anqing in Anhui province and Jiujiang in Jiangxi. After 168 hours or one full week, the flooded area would reach its maximum projected extent, stretching all the way to Shanghai, shown on the far right side of the map. The map divides the projected flood depth into five categories. So this is how you read this map. Areas submerged under more than 10 meters of water are marked in navy blue, the darkest blue that you could see. Water depth beneath 5 and 10 meters are shown in deep blue. Depth between 2 and 5 meters appear in sky blue. Areas under half of a meter to two meters of water are marked in what I call baby blue. While depth of less than half of a meter are shown in the palest shade of blue that you could see. So judging from the darkest areas on the map, cities including Yichang, Jingzhou, and then also Honghu, Wuhan, Ezhou, Huangshi, Jiujiang, Anqing, Tonglin, Wuhu, they could all face potentially, or I should say, yeah, deep flooding. And large areas surrounding Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake also appear to be heavily affected. Now, using the scale shown on the map, one person, someone used an AI-assisted tool to estimate the size of the flooded areas. And according to that estimate, land submerged under more than 10 meters of water could cover approximately 15,000 to 25,000 square kilometers. These areas will be concentrated near the dam along the main channel of the Yangtze River and across low-laying land on both banks. The area submerged under 5 to 10 meters of water could be even larger and potentially covering between 20 to 35,000 square kilometers. This would include plains on both sides of the river, areas surrounding major lakes and the expanding flood zone across the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze. If all of the projected flooded areas are combined, meaning all the shaded areas shown on the map are all add up, the total could approach 150,000 square kilometers. Even if we try to be conservative, the flooded area could still reach approximately 115,000 square kilometers. That's roughly the size of Ohio or the country of Bulgaria, just to give you an idea, just to give you a reference point. Okay, that's the first image. Now the second image, that's this one, this measures, this shows the projected speed of the flood water 168 hours or one week after the collapse. The simulation divides the water velocity into six categories, more than 10 meters per second, 5 to 10 meters per second, 2 to 5 meters, half a meter to 2 meters per second, and then under half meters per second, and then 0.1 to 0.5 meters per second, and then less than 0.1 meters per second. So according to the map's legend, water moving faster than 10 meters per second will represent the main current of the flood. At that speed, the erosion and the destructive force will be so extreme that very few buildings and structures could survive. And these areas are marked in red. Now, you may be wondering why there's so little red visible on the map if we say this category represents the main current of the flood. I think the reason is that this map shows the projected water speed one full week after the dam breaks, by which time the flood water could already have slowed significantly. So when the report refers to the main flood current moving at more than 10 meters per second, it may be describing conditions during the initial hours after the collapse, rather than the situation seven days later. Okay, and then the report went on to say that at speeds of 5 to 10 meters per second, the current would still be extraordinarily powerful. It could cause severe erosion and potentially destroy bridges and other infrastructure. And these areas are marked in orange. At 2 to 5 meters per second, the water would carry large pieces of debris and cause serious damage to buildings. And these areas are highlighted in yellow. And the next tier is half a meter to two meters per second. The current would move more slowly, but it could still produce prolonged and widespread inundation. These areas are marked in pale green. And then you have the other two categories, the pale bluish white, which is almost, you can't even see it. For that area, flood water could remain for long periods, increasing the risk of secondary disasters. And then below the 0.1 meters per second, the water would be almost stationary, creating vast areas of long-term standing water. So judging from the colors on the map, much of the surrounding area along the Yangtze River will be covered by slow-moving or nearly stationary water one week after the collapse. Certain sections of the Yangtze River could still experience destructive currents, exceeding five meters per second, showing in red and orange. And vast surrounding areas will continue to experience currents of between two and five meters per second, highlighted in yellow. So that's the second image that we took from the video. And then the third, this one is a population heat map showing how many people could be affected after one week. It identifies at least 29 cities and counties located along or near the Yangtze River and lists the projected affected population for each location. According to the map, the total number of people affected after one week could reach approximately 132 million. Now this is only after one week. Excuse me, hold on. I think as it drags on, the percentage of population whose life will be affected will be higher. So I summarize the number, because the numbers are really tiny, you can't really see. So I summarize the numbers for you. So according to the map, the total number of people affected after one week could reach 132 million. Of those, approximately 63.2 million could be severely affected by water deeper than two meters. 48.6 million could face moderate flooding with water depth between half a meter and two meters. And then there's about 16 million people could be likely affected by water less than half of a meter deep. Now the colors on the population heat map represent the density of the potentially affected population. They're measured in people per square kilometer. So pale yellow represents sparsely populated areas with fewer than 100 people per square kilometer. Orange indicates a medium population density between 100 and 1,000 people per square kilometer, and dark red marks the most densely populated areas where more than 5,000 people per square kilometer could be affected. So this shows you the distribution of the population that would be affected. All right, the last image that we got from the map is very interesting. It's a little bit tiny. Let me make this bigger for you so you can see this clearly. This shows the projected disruption to transportation one week after the dams collapse. Now solid lines represent expressways and national or provincial highways. Dotted lines represent railways. Transportation hubs and airports are also marked with dots. There are solid dots are airports and there are other transportation hubs identified. Now colors, so different types of transportation infrastructure are identified by different shapes, and different colors indicate the degree of the impact. So red means the infrastructure would be completely shut down. Yellow indicates a partial shutdown. Green means that it would remain operational, and gray indicates that it would be unaffected. And according to the simulation, approximately, now these numbers come from this report. They're just too tiny for you to read, but we read it in Chinese. So approximately 7,428 kilometers of expressways and 9,865 kilometers of national and provincial highways and 2,318 kilometers of railway lines will be completely severed. Okay, this is the ones that are completely gone. And in addition, a total of 156 bridges will become unusable. 18 airports would be affected with 13 completely shut down and five partially shut down. 27 maritime ports would also be affected with 19 completely shut down and eight partially disabled. Now in the lower right corner of the image, there are smaller maps showing six major cities, the impact on the local transportation in several cities, including Wuhan, Nanjing, and Shanghai. Although the details are too difficult to read because they're tiny, Shanghai's airport appears to be marked as shut down, while portions of the city's road networks are shown in red, indicating complete closure. Now we know Shanghai is at the far end of the Yangtze River, right? It's the juncture where the river meets the sea. But still, Shanghai would be significantly impacted according to this report. So based on these projections, transportation—let me come back. They're just tiny. Okay, so yeah, if you put everything together, transportation across the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and throughout much of the wider Yangtze Basin would effectively be paralyzed. A collapse of the Three Gorges Dam would produce a disaster on an almost unimaginable scale. Some commentators have estimated that the death toll could reach hundreds of thousands or even millions, although those numbers remain speculative because they're probably mentioned in the report, but we just haven't seen them. So in other words, the enormous reservoir behind the Three Gorges Dam could be seen as a time bomb hanging over the heads of more than 100 million people. That's only within the first week. It would affect 132 million people within the first week, but as time goes on, the population that would be affected will be increasing. So these four maps contain information that, if authentic, which I think is authentic because this video shows it's a study, right? It is a study conducted in China. It would represent one of the CCP's most closely guarded secrets. Beijing has never publicly released anything resembling these detailed projections, and if this report was indeed leaked by Mr. Wu, that may explain why he was suddenly placed under investigation. Now, Beijing just announced that he is under investigation, but the authorities never disclosed the specific allegations against him, and perhaps they cannot. Wu was not an employee repeating rumors he had seen online. He was a major engineer who had spent years working inside the Three Gorges system. So let me tell you a little bit about who this Wu is, who this guy is, where is he? Oh, there he is. Because I think this background I think is an important piece of the story. He was previously the Director of Science, Technology, and Environmental Protection, General Manager of Engineering Management, Chief Engineer, Deputy General Manager, and a member of the CCP poverty committee at the publicly listed China Three Gorges Renewables Group. He was also the recipient of major national and provincial science and technology awards. His last job was the head of the Three Gorges Corporation's Guangxi branch, or Guangxi subsidiary. So in other words, this was a man who may have had access to the inner workings of one of China's largest and most politically sensitive engineering empires. He is not a low-level engineer who accidentally leaked some information. So according to the source describing him, Wu was known for speaking openly at private gatherings. He was said to be an excellent storyteller who frequently shared internal information in vivid detail. And this time he might have just said too much. Now, if these allegations are true, which I believe are true, then what he shared may also help the public understand a danger that has been hidden from them for years. That information shared or leaked by Mr. Wu could potentially save lives. Now we come to the next question. So how credible is this simulation? Still, we have to give it the benefit of the doubt. Now I'm not an expert in hydraulic engineering, so I'm not in a position to verify or critique every calculation shown in these maps. But there is one broader fact that is difficult to ignore. China's top leaders, from Hu Jintao to Xi Jinping, appear to have been fully aware of the political and engineering risks surrounding the Three Gorges Dam. And they have often been remarkably cautious about publicly embracing it or endorsing it. Let me just leave it on the screen. Now let me tell you a little bit about the CCP leader's relationship with this project. So now with that explained, you will understand why this report is credible. Now according to CCP's own propaganda, the Three Gorges Project represented the painstaking efforts of several generations of CCP leaders. Plans to build a dam in the Three Gorges region was discussed as early as the Mao Zedong era. But it was under the CCP's third generation of leadership, aka Jiang Zemin, and especially his powerful premier, Li Peng, that the megaproject finally began construction in 1994. Jiang Zemin and Li Peng, both strong supporters of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, were the political leaders most closely associated with the decision to build the Three Gorges Dam. In 1997, Jiang Zemin personally attended the ceremony marking the diversion and closure of the Yangtze River. It was a project, in other words, this project was given extraordinary political importance from the very beginning. It was intended to showcase China's national strength, the party's ability to mobilize enormous resources, and the supposed superiority of its system. Chinese propaganda also claimed that the project set more than 100 world records, whatever that means. But here's something remarkable. When the most critical phases of the project were completed, there was no grand national celebration. That was not only out of proportion with the enormous scale and supposed achievements of the project, it also ran completely against the CCP's own political traditions. So on May 20th, 2006, the final section of the Three Gorges Dam was completed. I mean, the entire project wasn't completed, but the final section of the dam was completed, meaning that the entire structure was sealed. Nearly 100 Chinese media organizations, including CCTV, Xinhua, People's Daily, etc., sent more than 300 reporters to cover the completion ceremony. But China's state council announced that no central government leader would attend. The participants would consist mainly of workers and builders involved in the project. A Beijing newspaper later reported that the celebration lasted only, guess how long, eight minutes. And the cost was nothing. It cost them nothing. It was only eight minutes. The paper said it only cost the government a few hundred yuan to do this eight-minute celebration. And then when the entire Three Gorges project was declared complete in 2009, Hu Jintao was serving as general secretary of the CCP. Yet neither Hu Jintao nor any other top party leader attended. Why would China's central leadership behave so quietly at such an important milestone? You have to remember that Hu Jintao studied hydraulic engineering at Tsinghua University, specializing in dams and hydroelectric power stations. That was his professional field. He became China's president in 2003. The same year, the Three Gorges Reservoir began filling and the dam officially entered operation. But around the time that Jiang Zemin was leaving office and Hu Jintao was taking over, a state council inspection team reportedly discovered more than 80 cracks on the surface of the dam. Now, after 14 years of construction, apparently no major crack problem had been publicly disclosed during the Jiang Zemin era. Then, as soon as political responsibility began shifting to Hu Jintao, the cracks suddenly became known. I do not need to spell out the political implications. You can draw your own conclusion, right? And interestingly, throughout Hu Jintao's years as general secretary and president, he never once visited the Three Gorges Dam. He did not inspect the construction site, nor did he attend a completion ceremony or publicly associate himself with the project. Every major inspection ceremony and official event connected with the Three Gorges project took place without Hu Jintao's involvement. Let me show you a picture. Yeah, let me show you these two. And his premier, Wen Jiabao, visited the region twice. But those visits focused primarily on the relocation and resettlement, the resettlement problems created by the project. So here's the uncomfortable reality. Hu Jintao was professionally trained in hydraulic engineering. Wen Jiabao was trained as a geologist before entering politics. Among China's top leaders, they were unusually qualified to understand the technical and geological risks surrounding such a massive project. And both men appeared reluctant to attach themselves politically to the dam. Getting too close to the Three Gorges project offered them very little political benefit and potentially enormous political liability. Now, after Hu Jintao in 2018, he visited the Three Gorges and inspected the dam. That's five years after becoming the top leader. Even though by then, the dam has been in operation. The dam was already functional and in operation, but it still had not formally passed its final acceptance review. So Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao passed it to Xi Jinping. Xi Jinping procrastinated for five years until 2018, when he finally visited the dam. But after inspecting it, he did not immediately order the acceptance process to be completed. And then he waited two more years. It was not until 2020, 26 years after construction began, that this so-called project of the century quietly passed its final acceptance inspection. But it was done during Xi Jinping's time. Once again, there was no grand national ceremony when it happened. Xi Jinping did not attend. No senior leaders stepped forward to celebrate the moment or claim political ownership of the project. So we have to ask, how could the CCP's top leaders, from Hu Jintao to Xi Jinping, fail to hold a grand celebration for the completion of what they call the project of the century? One possible explanation is that they were never fully confident about the dam's long-term future. They were far more cautious about attaching their names and political legacies to it. And even state media remained somewhat muted during Xi Jinping's time. So let me leave you with a few questions. If Beijing has truly simulated the collapse of the Three Gorges Dam in such extraordinary detail through hundreds of pages, why has the public never been allowed to see the results? Were these simulations simply responsible emergency planning? Or were they created because officials already understood that the dam was far more vulnerable than they had admitted? Why did China's top leaders repeatedly avoid celebrating the project or attaching their own political legacies to it? And if more than 100 million people could be affected, why have those people never been properly informed of the risk? And more importantly, or most importantly, is the Three Gorges Dam still a symbol of China's strength? Or has it become one of the CCP's greatest infrastructure failures, hanging over the country like a ticking time bomb? I think the answer to the last question may also be the answer to all the other ones. Now, there are additional analysis and data suggesting that concerns about the dam's safety have never, I mean, I shouldn't say have never disappeared, they have only intensified in recent years. But I will have to examine that in a separate program, possibly in one of my videos in the Looking Glass channel. I would rather do it as an edited video than a live stream program. But today, I just want to primarily focus on the alleged simulation leaked from inside China, and what these four extraordinary maps might have revealed. So that's what I have for you. I hope this information is timely. I think they're extraordinary. So what do you think? Interesting discoveries? Yeah, I will post the video. I'm going to ask Chris to post the video in my social media account in Facebook and X. And so you can take a look at the video. But the images, maybe we could also post the images. The images are a little blurry. Yeah. But I have presented the most important facts. I've extracted the most important data and facts from those slides or from those pictures. So you pretty much have heard them all. Okay. All right. Let me see. What do you think? I don't have a good feeling about the dam. Now, interestingly, in the original leak, the number of people who will be affected by the collapse was 470 million. It was 470 million people who will be affected. And in this model, it says 132 million. And I'm thinking, how could there be such a huge discrepancy? There are two possible reasons. If you look at other social media posts or people who have been covering this story, in the earlier claims, the number given, the population size that would be affected was 470 million. And now, according to these slides or these images, it's 132 million. So I'm thinking, how could there be a discrepancy of 300 million people between the two versions? And I think it has to do with two factors. The first is the real population in China. I think the 470 million assumes China has 1.4 billion people, which we know it doesn't. And the 132 million may be a more realistic estimate based on the current population. And that's that. And then the second possible explanation is the 132 million people is only the size of the population impacted after one week. And then as time goes on, more and more people will be affected. So that number could increase. So that's my explanation for the discrepancy between the two numbers. So if you follow other Chinese channels, you might have heard the number 470 million. But if you wonder why there's a discrepancy, then that's my explanation. Okay. Chris is our moderator tonight. All right. Welcome back, Chris. So what do people think? I think Zhongnanhai at this point is probably very annoyed that this document, this simulation study is being leaked, and the fact that we're talking about it. Yeah. Okay. Let's see. Questions, comments? Okay. Not so many comments. Let's see. Let's see. Oh, there's so many comments, but no questions, which is good. The flooded area looks like a dragon, someone said. Yes, it does. Because it curves along the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River is the water dragon vein for China. It's called China's mother river, right? I mean, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. So the dam is like chopped off the dragon, and it's detrimental to the nation that thrives on Yangtze River. So yeah, it does look like a river, I mean, a dragon. Okay. Two meters is like six feet over most people's heads. Correct. Two meters of water, there's no street anymore. Yeah. It's over most people's heads. Correct. 10 meters is like what? 10 meters is five stories tall. Yeah. Most buildings under five stories are submerged. Okay. All right. Questions, comments? No? All right. Okay. Wow. Oh, here's a question. That's not for me. Oh, here's one. So Chris said, don't forget to hit the like button to support Lei. Please do. I need support. I do need support. Please share this video. Please hit the like button and subscribe. More will be coming. Okay. No questions, which is good. People are just making comments. Excellent. I still haven't seen a question, which is good. That means I have done a good job. All right. Oh my goodness. No question. Okay. Here's one from Netflix Foreign. When the Three Gorges Dam collapses, it will make international news, especially for the fact of people seeing a big city with skyscrapers fully wiped out off the map by water. I hope it doesn't happen because it's catastrophic. Think about the number of lives that we would lose. It's too many people would die. I mean, if they don't die from the flooding, they would die from secondary harm, like the spread of disease from contaminated water. So it's unthinkable if it happens. But according to the leaked information or the insiders who leaked the information, they think it's a matter of time. Either they wait until it happens or they take it down themselves. But even if they take it down, it's a huge project. It needs national coordination and everything has to be mapped out ahead of time if they do that. And I do not think the CCP has the resources and the management talent right now to handle a project of this massive scale. I do not think it can handle a project like that. So they will procrastinate. It needs to be done. But I don't think they have either the resources or the money or the mindpower or the manpower and mindpower or the determination to get it done. So that's why it's extremely dangerous. They're just waiting for a time bomb to click, to tick. Okay, this is simulation. No question. No question for me. Still no question. Excellent. All right. Well, absolutely. Oh, good morning. Watching here from the Philippines. Thank you. Well, thank you for joining me from the Philippines. Someone said, Lei, your hair looks absolutely beautiful this evening. All right. Good. Okay. I'm glad to hear that. Someone says, when it bursts, will the CCP ask the US for help? I think when it happens, the CCP will be taken down. I think people will revolt. The regime will collapse overnight. So I think that will happen. The regime will not stand when this happens. So it depends on who's going to take over and who's going to ask the US for help. So someone says, every enemy of China has missiles allocated for this dam. Unless the CCP starts attacking Taiwan or starts a war somewhere, otherwise, I don't see how they will fire missiles to take down the dam. They won't do that. So the chances of the dam being hit by a missile as a weapon is small. I think the chances for it to collapse because of infrastructure problem or engineering problem is the most likely cause. Okay. Oh, here's a question. So when this breaks, then Wuhan will be destroyed with all that water pressure, right? Yeah, Wuhan will be because it's close to the dam. And that will be international news. Yeah, it will. Someone said, are the maps dated? Do we know when they were made? That's a very good point. I studied the maps. I didn't see any date, but I can look again. Maybe they're in tiny, tiny font. They're really blurry. So we can only get the big font text read. The dates may be there, but they're tiny. I'll take a look. Yep. Yep. Okay. Good question. Okay. Oh, here's a question. I already answered that one. Peter CM. It will be on the same sort of scale disaster as the Boxing Day tsunami in 2004. I think it will be worse because it has a greater economic impact because the region that this collapse affects are the most economically prosperous areas of China. So in terms of the economic impact, it's much worse. Yeah. China's economy will be decimated. Yeah. Think about along the Yangtze River. It's, yeah. Okay. 2000, someone says, Oscar Jason Curtis, Abraham. 2006 is the year of the fire dog. That's the year of the leadership year, you know, the year of the fire dog. We're in the year of the fire horse. Yeah. This is a difficult year. Fire dog and fire horse. I think the fire horse is more problematic. Although I'm not very familiar with Feng Shui, the Zodiac. But from what I heard, fire horse is more problematic. 2026 is not a good year. Okay. Oh, Boycott China. Well, thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you for your support. I love that. Okay. Chris is here. Okay. Sassy Robin. If this dam collapses, is it in the area of all the other flooding that's been going on? Praying it doesn't. Well, the flooding that we've seen in China is all over. It started in Guangxi in the south, and then it also happened because of Bavi. We've seen flooding in northeast China, in central China, in southwestern China, like Sichuan. And Sichuan, Chongqing is really where the dam is located. So if this dam collapses, it will overlap with many regions that recently experienced flooding. Yeah. And Sichuan will be hard hit. Sichuan, Hubei. Yeah, that area. Okay. Let's see. Someone said Tony Ingram. I hope it never does fail, but it looks like the weight and the volume of the water itself is downfall. Yeah. There are a lot of information coming out of China. The people are studying the engineering because there have been recent several landslides that are concerning to people. So I have gathered some more information about recent development that really make people nervous. And I think they deserve another program, but I'll certainly do that. Yeah. So things don't look good. There are more and more signs showing that. I mean, the problem may not be the dam itself, but the problem will start in the surrounding area, and it will eventually put pressure on the dam, and that's where it will happen. So it happens on the surrounding area, and that's what people are already seeing, and that's why the concern is growing. Okay. I don't see any questions. It seems that you've enjoyed the program. So have I, and let's end it here, and I'll be back this weekend. Okay. Alrighty. That's all. Thank you. Bye.
