I had no idea it flooded that badly, that's horrible! I only knew that the gov was opening the dam over the next several years because they want to produce more electricity. For a communist country they sure are getting the hang of commerce.
I posted this before, but my mom and dad got back from China not too long ago and they told me that at the airport, they were selling models of the US spy plane that went down last year.
I think China is truly an example of a 'new' breed of communism.....very strange indeed.
