Did China dump their prison population on Australia's shores like Castro did to the USA.

That was a sly move that Castro did when he emptied Cuba's mental hospitals and sent them to the US. Imagine if China did the same to the West. Expect more Vince Li's.

Months of sustained downpours have battered China with floods unseen in decades, displacing millions and testing the limits of the world's largest hydroelectric dam.



Such rainfall is far from over, according to Chinese officials who, in a rare admission, said grim challenges are ahead.



July and August usually bring some of the heaviest rains in China, which swell the flood-prone Yangtze River. Yet, Zhou Xuewen, the vice minister of water resources tasked with containing floods, said the rain season will continue through September, with a "very high likelihood" of severe floodings, according to a recent State Council Information Office press conference.



The flooding since June has affected at least 63.5 million people and caused close to 179 billion yuan ($25.9 billion) in direct economic losses, according to authorities. Stormwaters have overwhelmed more than 600 Chinese rivers and destroyed harvests in 1.14 million hectares (more than 2.8 million acres) of arable land in the lower reaches of the Yangtze.



Typhoons and more rains are expected to befall northern China in the coming weeks.



The Three Gorges Dam saw its water rise to 16.81 meters (55.15 feet) above warning level on Aug. 20, the highest peak since the dam was commissioned in 2003. It's predicted to climb by another 3.7 meters (12.1 feet) on Aug. 22. Eleven discharge gates were opened on Aug. 20 to ease pressure on the dam.

While Beijing has consistently asserted that the site, built along the upper reaches of Yangtze River, has shielded surrounding regions from flooding, experts have raised concerns that the structure has made matters worse.



"Whether the Three Gorges can play a role in preventing flooding in the current situation, or if the Chinese government has deceived the Chinese public from the beginning—this has been made pretty clear for people throughout the years," Wang Weiluo, a Chinese hydrologist based in Germany, told The Epoch Times in a recent interview.



The megacity Chongqing experienced its most widespread flooding in four decades on Aug. 18, forcing authorities to raise the flood alert to the maximum level. The city's officials shouted via loudspeakers for anyone on the streets to "take urgent safety measures" before the flood water rushed in.
