So... when is this thing gonna collapse? Place your bets.

they stole enough of the white man's technology, it will be fine

All "muh dam collapse" copes come from Americans, who are baffled at an ascendant civilization building remarkable megaprojects while they wallow in the ruins of past glories and infrastructure they can't even maintain. Just like the African negroes driving hand carts over the ruins of the British railway routes that they can no longer maintain.

They should call it Dam Son

Why so negative? Shouldn't you be glad about human progress in creation of resource and energy abundance?

>>510877977
>That is amazing but don't they already have the worlds largest dam?

Depends on what you mean.

If by amount of concrete used to build the dam? Then 3 Gorges isn't even in the top 20. If it's by the amount of water held in the reservoir? Then it's in the top 5. If it's amount of energy generated? Then it's #1, 2.5 times more energy than 2nd place.

Sadly, a ton of our technology was given to China by greedy American investors who wanted to increase economic opportunities in China as a way to increase their own profit margins. Yes, China engages in intellectual property theft like any other nation-state, but it really is blown out of proportion by anti-China propagandists. Our own fellow Americans did a fine job on their own betraying us and giving China all the intellectual property they could ever want. It's fucking sad what people will do for an extra buck.

Cool
call me back in 20 years and we'll check if they finished it

Aren't they building five trillion solar panels and twenty nuclear reactors? Why destroy an entire river ecosystem too. For $170B I feel like you could build quite a few extra nuclear reactors, I wonder how the price compares

>>510882667
Because it's never enough energy.

>>510884337
Yes but again why not build fifty nuclear reactors
Clean, efficient, cheap to run, 2020s tech is vastly superior to 1970s tech that most of the west's ancient reactors run on, and the CCP can minimise red tape which accounts for most of the ridiculous setup costs in the west

they have nuclear reactors on the east coast. hydro is being built inland in sichuan and tibet in high sided river valleys. you can't really build a nuclear reactor in sichuan

>>510884653
That's the thing, they DO have 50 nuclear reactors lined up. Problem with them is that they take 10-15+ years to build. China can build fast, but not THAT fast. West takes 20 years for a nuclear reactor, China needs 10-15 years.

2-3 nuclear reactors coming online every year isn't enough. They need energy NOW.

China produces 2.5 as much energy as the US, but has 4 times the population, and is the world's biggest manufacturer. They need 8 times as much energy as the US.


If nuclear reactors were quick to build, this wouldn't be a problem.

Why would an American be mad at this when the US and other countries still give China development money? The US gives China a ridiculous amount of bonds, investment, private company support, the Reagan Administration basically handed off the US and Japan's industry to China, so they'd better be doing something with it otherwise deindustrializing was for nothing other than destroying labor unions. I'm skeptical because 1/3rd of their GDP is public works and Japan's public works schemes in the 90s were very much scams, for some reason Japan also had the idea that they should build dams constantly or build bridges to nowhere. I'm getting the same impression with China, much like Japan in the 80s with bank deregulation which later made it to the west I can imagine China's 'state capitalist' system also makes it here as well after this wave of nu-Reagan anti-China reaction washes over. China and the US was on the best of terms until 2016 or so, then Reagan 2 (Trump) gets elected and the China panic starts out of nowhere.

They're building those too. They'll build the damn, 50 nuclear reactors, and probably some Thorium nuclear reactors too.

In that span of time, Sweden will build 30 new refugee accommodations, the US will build 50 new abortion clinics, and the UK 80 new mosques.
>>510887424
That's right, the Chinese stole everything from America, yet the US can't build a railway while China builds the equivalent of all US railways every 3-4 years. Just like Russia stole the hypersonics yet the US still can't build them 10 years later.

Wtf are you talking about the US has a massive railway system. Type in 'which country has the biggest railway system' into a search engine. It's used for freight, like trains were intended to be used, you can't move all of that material by truck.

Dams are abominations and should never be built. Total disregard and probably outright hatred of the natural world.

Yeah, if I want any tool and die work done in the US the cost and lead times are ridiculous. But I can have it done in China cheap and quick but then they have my designs and can just pump out the same thing and undercut me.

>>510888018
So does that mean they're not building anything? If they built a superdam that could generate that much electricity that's a genuinely good investment, I haven't really seen them do anything useful with public works despite the absolutely ridiculous amount of their GDP is tied to it. Which is why I'm skeptical because they make these big development promises constantly then we had the Evergrande collapse in 2021.

The three gorges dam that you obviously know alot about it, possibly even posted on a certain general, helped control flooding downstream, which historically was a regular catastrophic event in China.

wouldnt it be way too massive and heavy for it's own good? dam is a temporary products and have expiration dates. you dont want them too big, no?

>>510875270
They're superior in every way other than their penises.

>>510888738
Yes I know about it, but that took like 60 years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Gorges_Dam

>In 1944, the United States Bureau of Reclamation's head design engineer, John L. Savage, surveyed the area and drew up a dam proposal for a "Yangtze River Project".[33] Some 54 Chinese engineers went to the US for training.

>After the 1949 Communist Revolution, Mao Zedong supported the project, but began the Gezhouba Dam project nearby first, and economic problems including the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution slowed progress.

>During China's emphasis on the Four Modernizations during its early period of Reform and Opening Up, The Communist Party revived plans for the dam and proposed to start construction in 1986.[35]:204

Without Mao the project probably never would have gotten off the ground. If China had another Mao I'd throw my entire portfolio into their projects.

We could have stuff like this in North America also, we could have practically unlimited hydroelectric energy storage infrastructure and we could go completely electric with solar panel farms in the desert regions of the US.

>Japanese public works were a scam
Way to out yourself as never having been to Japan
>US gives money to China, therefore
Therefore America is cucked. China has functional aqueducts and its megadams aren't collapsing. American water infrastructure hasn't been maintained for 100 years on the west coast. China is building a commercial fusion reactor and maglev train while ITER is still trying to procure enough fissile material to test a disproven model and CA is overbudget and a decade overdue for its "High speed" rail that won't go fast enough to qualify as high speed in any other country.

>>510890706
It does have everything to do with power generation though, they're an electrically driven economy, they have extremely limited oil access. All these projects are springing up to keep pace with an exponential electrical demand driven by the explosion of cheap electric cars for the masses.

>>510887745
American rail is a humiliating joke on par with African countries. America was great in the 19th century, not the 21st.

>You've never been to Japan
I have the only thing outstanding I noticed was vending machines everywhere. They have a lot of roads to nowhere, random bridges, pointless dams, etc. Even the metro stops running at midnight for some reason, the only thing going for it is that the cities were all built within the last 20 years, but outside of that they're not maintaining much of everything so there's a mass exodus from the countryside to the cities. They didn't even have their cities connected to a sewer system until the 2000s, which may have been the only good product of this.

>ITER reactor
I've heard about this ITER reactor for like a decade man. It's an international project that always gets put off for like a decade.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITER
>The initial international cooperation for a nuclear fusion project that was the foundation of ITER began in 1978[58][59] with the International Tokamak Reactor, or INTOR, which had four partners: the Soviet Union, the European Atomic Energy Community, the United States, and Japan.

We almost had one in the 80s until Gorbochev happened. It was mostly a soviet project.

>Aqueducts, water, maglev
The US has the largest train network in the world, for personal transit there's planes anything extra for trains is just wasteful spending since shaving off 10 km/hr to maintain highly expensive HSR is a massive expense of labor for very little gain. The megadam that they have took like 60 years of planning to build from the 40s and was completed in 2006. China's aqueduct system is still in development let alone maintenance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South%E2%80%93North_Water_Transfer_Project) and their cities still lack sewer systems. If the US is going to dedicate all of this money to development projects and give their time, private sector resources, education, engineers to experiment like this I'd like some greater result apart from Reagan bending over labor unions.

>>510892527
>The US has the largest train network in the world

>>510892089
Nuclear can't keep up with the demand as is and they've been pushing against coal for quite some time now partly because of the high pollution cost but also because they end up importing so much from neighboring regions it has the same supply upset issues as oil which they were made aware of over covid when they had sudden coal shortages and blackouts. There's already more private automobiles on their roads than there are in America and the number is rapidly rising still.

>>510892527
Australia carries as much train freight by tonnage as the US. Of course, it's because it's a big country, but be realistic about which league you're fighting in. Russia is also rather high in the statistics. China dwarfs the US by freight tonnage.

Where you are correct is that for some reason, Finland has more train freight by tonnage than Japan. I'm willing to bet it's because Japan can use ships more effectively.

Australia is the world's largest bauxite mine and one of the largest exporter of mining materials globally despite their small population. The US lately has been doing massive air freight transport. Something like 40 million ton-km. And Greece also has the world's largest shipping fleet, I don't think Japan has an excuse to not move more freight than them. Japan doesn't have many resources to ship around locally so their trains don't get much use and could easily be repurposed for passengers. Finland is a massive country by landmass (like Australia) with a small population and uses trains extensively to move around raw materials. The US has a large population and settlements all over the place, most states are self-sufficient, and there's little need to export constantly. A lot of the freight becomes air freight since there's not much need to move in massive amounts of resources to one place. Much of the train network is redundant and leftover from when the coal mining was endemic in the US.

>>510894589
Yeah, I do admit it's kind of odd that Japan chooses to use an extensive train network only for passengers.

I think the US suffers from market forces and politics more than anything on the railway issue. Both politicians and market forces are strangely allergic to electrified rail in the US, while it's one of the most cost effective ways of transporting goods. Sure, part of it is explained by the flyover states. Electrified rail doesn't make that much sense there. It's not completely, or even close to mostly, explained by the flyover states.
