China is Sinking: Why 45% of Urban Cities are in Danger

Since china wants to claim the entirety of the south china sea, I think its fair if the sea will claim china

China: we want the philippine sea
Nature: ask and you'll receive

China: ...is flooding

Mother Nature: here, have 2 typhoons!

There was a infamous incident in chyna when a sinkhole swallowed a bus and instead of rescuing the passengers they tried to fill the hole with the passengers still in the bus in the hole! That's crazy.

China has been saying it should be exempt from climate rules because it is a developing country. It is interesting to see that China is more affected by global warming than Western countries.

i assumed this had something to do with the massive flooding affecting huge areas of land across china..

[clsanchez]

Oh, you built on coastal land and your land is sinking below sea level….tell me more. <laughs in New Orleans>

If the same were happening in Russia, everyone talking about it would be jailed for spreading "misinformation"!

The thumbnail looks like the Levolution events in Battlefield 4's China maps. Who knew they were so accurate?

Now this is scary. Rising sea levels are a thing, but this is even worse.

Remember what Mao said... "First we must control nature".

i believe this is same as what happened to JAKARTA but in larger scale ?
meaning, its simply the weight of so many people + skyscrapers + pumping water out from water reserves underneath.
this is happening in my tiny city with only the water extraction.
i live in middle east.
there are always potholes happening

You’d think China would divert some of the money going into its future war preparations towards combating this issue. Otherwise the nation’s biggest advantage (its ludicrous population compared to almost the entire rest of the world) is going to be its downfall practically overnight.
Edit: I appear to have kickstarted an information war in the comments section in regards to West Taiwan.

중국, 동남아시아 강수량 비교 요약 (2023년)

- 미얀마: 약 2, 000mm
- 태국: 약 1, 400mm - 2, 400mm
- 라오스: 약 1, 648.7mm
- 베트남: 약 1, 500mm - 3, 000mm
- 중국: 약 500mm - 2, 000mm
- 캄보디아: 약 1, 500mm - 3, 000mm

같은국가라도 지역에 따라 평균치가 다릅니다.
중국북부 평균은 500mm 남부는 2, 000mm 입니다. 중국보다 동남아시아의 강수량이 훨씬 많음에도 불구하고 홍수는 중국에 훨씬 많이 발생하는 이유는 배수시설이 안되어 있기 때문입니다. 천재가 아닌 인재입니다. 중국은 치수를 가장 못하는 나라입니다.

The optimism at the end is nice.
But given the corruption...

The areas around Phoenix Arizona dropped 6 inches and more because of ground water depletion. In fact, fishers are still opening up in the state.
