China is getting extreme rainfall and flooding along the Yangtze. The Dam is seeing record high water levels and the structural integrity is somewhat suspect.

Nothing, yet. But if the water keeps rising there it could get interesting.

I've been following that on the 'chans. Seems fishy, but if that thing fails I've seen estimates between 21-481 million potential deaths.

They are definitely getting serious flooding, the Yangtze has an amazing and violent history

On top of THIS is the dust storm crossing the US that will hinder crop growth.

On top of THAT are all the farmers plowing in crops and killing livestock since so many restaurants closed, which will cause a spike in demand from grocers.

Not good.

Half the people in China could die and they would still outnumber us.

It would still be a huge hit to lose like 400k people.

Its always the “or worse” option with china. Devaluation is a perk for them.

Whats funny is that any armed conflict will force the dollar higher. The dollar's strength is a derivative of the price of oil. Oil will surge if a war breaks out.
