    (This is a good presentation of why misanagement and corruption in China's infrastructure and utilities results in disaster again and again, and the problem is only growing. )

    "In recent days, 15 provinces in China have been hit by heavy to torrential rain, posing a new flood challenge. Provinces like Hunan, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang have all faced extreme rainfall and flooding.
    The areas near the center of "Saola" are experiencing winds of force 14-16 with gusts of 17 or higher. It's predicted that "Saola" will move northwest at a speed of 10-15 kilometers per hour, potentially making landfall or brushing past the southern coast of Taiwan on the night of August 30th, then approaching the coast from central Fujian to central Guangdong. It may make landfall in the eastern part of Guangdong between the night of September 1st and the morning of September 2nd.
    Moreover, typhoon 11, Haiwei, is forming over the surface of the Northwest Pacific Ocean. Along with this year's typhoon 9 Saola and the tropical storm 10 Damrey, they form a triangular interaction, influencing one another and adding uncertainty to their respective trajectories."

    ( Another over the top example of what one Grandiose Narcissist --Xi Jinping--will do to glorify himself, at huge expense to his country and its' people, right up there with Stalin, Hitler, Mao, etc. . )

    "As China grapples with a severe economic crisis, rising unemployment and challenges facing small businesses, Beijing announces a new "eviction order."
    Citing unauthorized construction, the government has called on certain industrial parks to "comply unconditionally," demanding all businesses within these zones be cleared out.
    This decision has inflicted significant losses on businesses settled in the parks, putting millions of jobs at risk.
    There was no offer of any compensation.
    Analysts suggest that this move is an attempt by the Chinese Communist Party to push businesses and populations to move towards the “second capital” Xiong'an New Area, ensuring President Xi Jinping's "millennium project" to alleviate Beijing's non-capital functions doesn't become a "ghost town." "

    CCP Messes Up! $100B Lost in the Fishing Industry, Shanghai’s Radiation Exceeds Tokyo’s by 976 Times
    China Observer
    278K subscribers
    Premiered Sep 4, 2023

    "On August 26th at 2:00 pm, the radiation levels of Hangzhou Bay were tested.
    The highest radiation value in the seawater of the bay was 0.215.
    China Central Television reported in a program that the radiation level in Tokyo was only 0.01.
    In an area about 6.5 kilometers away from Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant, the highest radiation level was only about 0.2.
    Microsieverts per hour measure the amount of radiation absorbed by the human body per hour.
    A level of 0.1 to 0.2 microsieverts per hour is actually within the range of natural background radiation.
    The radiation level when flying at high altitudes is only 3 to 5 microsieverts, and the maximum radiation near the Fukushima nuclear power plant is 2.0 microsieverts.
    So, when a resident from Shanghai discovered that the radiation in his home reached 9.7 microsieverts, 976 times that of Tokyo and 5 times that of Fukushima, he was quite alarmed."

    "The county of Kunshan in Jiangsu Province, China, once held the reputation as one of the most concentrated areas of Taiwanese investment in mainland China, earning it the nickname "Little Taipei".
    In recent years, fueled by its robust manufacturing sector, Kunshan has maintained its position as the strongest economic powerhouse at the county level in China, even acquiring a reputation as a miniature "world factory".
    The Foxconn campus in the northern part of the county, a significant contract manufacturer for Apple, has been operational for 30 years, attracting tens of thousands of young workers to engage in the assembly lines producing Apple products such as iPhones and laptops.
    Nonetheless, since the onset of this year, there has been a surge in speculation surrounding not only Foxconn but also other Taiwanese firms pulling out their operations, instigating significant worry amongst the local population of about 2 million residents."

    "According to the 79-year-old vendor, he relies on selling vegetables and his pension to make ends meet. His monthly pension is 120 yuan (about 17 US dollars), and he still needs to cut down on his expenses. When he gets sick, he pays his medical bills out of pocket. Recently, he spent thousands of yuan on treatment for back pain at a hospital in Linyi, Shandong.
    China is rapidly aging, and issues surrounding aged care are increasingly acute. In the past, during its one-child policy promotion, the Chinese government promised: "Have just one child, and the government will take care of you in old age." However, once those who adhered to this policy reached retirement age, the slogan morphed into "Don't rely on the government for aged care."

    "One of the most severely affected areas is Bazhou City in Hebei Province, where residents are grappling with the aftermath of the floods.
    Videos shared by concerned citizens depict the dire conditions, with water levels reaching half a meter in some places.
    Many displaced victims have resorted to constructing makeshift shelters from plastic sheets, facing immense challenges in their daily lives, including eating and sleeping.
    These floods have not been confined to Hebei alone, as more than 15 provinces across China have been impacted, including Hunan, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang.
    Each of these provinces has faced heavy rainfall and severe flooding, leading to evacuations, identified geological disaster points, and road closures.
    Adding to the complexity of the situation are meteorological warnings and the threat of Typhoon Saola and Typhoon Haiwei.
    These typhoons may bring further torrential rain and flooding to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, exacerbating the already dire situation
    In response to the looming flood threat, the Three Gorges Reservoir has initiated measures to mitigate the risks.
    However, as of August 29th, the water level at the reservoir had surpassed the flood control limit by 11 meters, emphasizing the urgency and gravity of the situation.
    These persistent rain disasters have raised questions about the adequacy of China's drainage systems.
    The country's drainage infrastructure often falls short of handling intense rainfall events, with many cities designed for smaller rain events based on outdated standards.
    Critics have pointed out that China's drainage technology lags behind that of developed countries, and the prioritization of aesthetic projects over drainage exacerbates the issue.
    Resource allocation challenges, issues with contracts and kickbacks, and limitations of "sponge city" initiatives further complicate efforts to address the problem.
    Furthermore, China's rapid urban expansion, impermeable surfaces, and decline of aquatic ecosystems have contributed to drainage problems.
    The disjointed management of underground infrastructure projects and underestimations of population growth and water discharge have also strained municipal networks."

    While in the past, rain would alleviate their rhinitis symptoms, this time it significantly exacerbated them.
    This individual was also subsequently diagnosed with "thunderstorm asthma". Director Wang Xueyan of the Allergy Response Center at Beijing Century Altar Hospital confirmed that in recent days, the hospital has treated six patients presenting similar symptoms.
    But is it really as simple as a "thunderstorm asthma"?
    In a breaking news update, overseas Youtube blogger LUDE Media reported an urgent tip-off from mainland China netizens.
    On the morning of September 4th, at 9 AM, the Beijing Chemical Defense Brigade suddenly received orders to utilize nuclear protective gear to undertake a mission.
    Responding to the request of the Emergency Management Department, they were tasked to manage a radioactive material leakage incident at the coal mine in Ordos, Inner Mongolia.
    The coal mine in Ordos was under the management of the armed police and has been abandoned for many years due to corruption issues.
    This mine was acquired by BeiBen (North Benz) through asset restructuring, gaining both land and mining rights.
    It has been revealed that the Chinese military is behind BeiBen and the site is designated for military use.
    Initially it was not an open-pit mine.
    After being acquired by an Ordos coal tycoon, who previously conducted open-pit mining in Jungar Banner, the mine transitioned to open-pit operations."

    Is Mother Nature Angry at CCP? Disasters Amplify Food Crisis, Rice Price Hits a 12-Year Peak

    "In recent days, Typhoon 9 Saola and Typhoon 11 Haikui have made successive landfalls along China's southeastern coast, unleashing heavy rains that have ravaged Fujian and Guangdong provinces.
    Urban areas are now submerged underwater, and in the rural areas, vast stretches of farmland have been inundated, with crops facing a total loss.
    Earlier, typhoons Doksuri and Kanu severely impacted agriculture in the Northeastern provinces which are known as China's grain storehouses, increasing risks of food shortage for the Chinese population.
    Heavily reliant on food imports, any reduction could potentially lead to hunger for about 20 percent of the population.
    The nation’s grain shortage has also unveiled significant issues of corruption and poor decision-making within the CCP."

    CCP Messes Up! Starts Banning iPhones & Teslas: Apple Falls in China Trap, Massive Capital Flight

    "In the past few days, numerous reports are emerging that the CCP has officially prohibited the use of Apple phones in certain areas.
    On September 6th, insiders informed The Wall Street Journal that the CCP has directed central government officials to refrain from using iPhones and other foreign-branded devices during work hours or bringing them into offices.
    The following day, Bloomberg cited sources stating that the CCP intends to extend the iPhone ban to state-owned enterprises and government agencies.
    Moreover, the Financial Times UK disclosed that the prohibition has expanded to include employees at nuclear power plants and hospitals in remote areas."

    "On September 8th, the offshore Renminbi exchange rate surpassed 7.36, reaching its lowest point since the offshore Renminbi market was established in 2010.
    On the same day, the onshore Renminbi exchange rate dipped below 7.34, nearing the critical psychological level of 7.35, with no evident rebound in sight.
    This shift in the exchange rate enveloped the market in a mood of uncertainty.
    Given these market dynamics, China has been paring down its US Treasury holdings and aggressively purchasing Renminbi on global markets to stabilize its value. Nonetheless, holding off the steep Renminbi depreciation is becoming increasingly challenging.
    Internationally, there's growing concern over whether China's foreign reserves might get drained.
    Historical data paints a vivid picture: between August 2015 and April 2016, during the Renminbi's defence against devaluation, China saw its foreign reserves shrink by nearly $1 trillion."
