Intense rainfall and severe flooding that has battered China since early June 2020, has affected tens of millions of people and left at least 140 dead or missing. The Three Gorges Dam that spans the Yangtze River has been put to the test in terms of its ability to control floods along Asia’s longest river. But why have floods across a large region of China been so severe in the summer of 2020?

china built dozen of dams to control the water flow of all big rivers include Mekong which cross 5 other countries. Vietnam this year has suffered the worst drought and saltwater ever, because the water level of Mekong is too low, millions of people don't have enough water for living or farming for months. This is karma for what china have done to us.

This is the first I have heard about flooding in China being a problem this year. No major news outlet in the US is covering this flooding at all. The only reason I had heard about it, is when somebody told me yesterday. This was 3 weeks after this video was posted. Today is August 13, 2020 for reference.
