Short answer: no.

Long answer: the dam is designed specifically for this exact situation, to limit the damage of flooding in the Yangtze while generating power. It may not have been designed to handle the intensity of this rainy season, but even if the dam is completely overwhelmed by rain, they can just increase the outflow to flood the areas downstream, $still$ $cause$ $less$ $damage$ $than$ $without$ $the$ $dam$ , and the dam will be fine.

China is definitely experiencing some major flooding that’s affecting their food supply, the dam can’t prevent that but it’s still making it less disastrous than otherwise. And it’s probably not designed to hold up forever but it’s from 2004 not 1974, it’s not gonna fail at the one thing it was made to do.

Stop memeing, the chinese state does not cheap out on prestige projects and no one dares to try and cheat them since there would literally be executions on the table if the dam breaks.

Everything is still possible, but not probable.

I wouldn't trust anything the fucking Chinese say. Assuming their state-run and controlled media isn't spoonfeeding bullshit, I'd say the people who work on the dam have the same attitude as the retards that said RBMK Reactors never malfunction.

I'm looking for someone in this thread who claims to be a civil engineer, but all I see are observers who quite possibly could have the sort of political persuasion that makes them distrustful of anyone with a college education.

Even that's a stretch - I'd bet there's only a couple hundred civil engineers in the world with any meaningful insight into the project.

Beyond that it seems like a question of total rainfall, river levels, and arithmetic.

China has 80k dams that were built mostly in Maos era. So if one dam breaks like further up from the Three Gorges Dam it would have a domino effect right?
