China has already failed. To revise my old "Nothing at all" rant for this...
>Anhui is a water park and the crops are ruined right when they should have been harvested, wasting weeks and months worth of effort and money
>Poyang Lake, beautiful and pure enough to raise quality caviar, needed its levees breached so it didn't flood the surrounding area and contaminate itself.
>Evacuation efforts have been ongoing for weeks to save people from the worst regions and move them to the mountains, which keep tumbling down tanks to mudslides.
>An unprecedented degree of flood damage, liquefaction of soil in and around rural and suburban areas, and urban areas getting washed out
>Fraudulent loans, fake gold and bad investments choking the secondary banking market out like a cheap FOB whore
>Distrust of China's banks resulting in the common citizens and corporate heads withdrawing their funds, reinvesting offshore and moving assets away from the failing infrastructure, seeding long-term economic disaster
>An unknown degree of pollution from the river spreading into the homes and land of people in the basin, producing a cleanup problem with a scope that boggles the mind
>Dams, levees and water control being abused, broken apart, and hastily rebuilt with loose soil, sacrificing...how much, thousands? Millions? More? ...of infrastructure in a panic, not to mention the infrastructure that's straight up just collapsing like the bridges that keep washing away
>An almost insubstantial promise of reparations, paid to local officials instead of the people, creating a new homelessness crisis in China as the refugees hit the city streets
>Food shortages already setting in, meat costs twice as much, and China is hitting its limit on WTO-allowed grain purchases, thanks to corruption in the grain storage facilities so there's no backup supply
>American sanctions are throttling companies like Huawei while also gouging out their spying operations
