★By the 21st, June, the heavy rain has resulted in the serious floods of the 10 southern provinces in China, the accumulative affected people of up to 25.15 million, the affected corps of 1361 thousand hectares, 175 deaths, 107 missing people, 1.71 million of the transfer population, 144 thousand houses collapsed, and the direct economic loss is about 29.7 billion Yuan.

As a matter of fact, the basic reason why China experiences the floods and drought every year is that the various regions build a large number of reservoirs disorderly for power generation and destroy the environment. The Chinese are not good at cooperation and macro projects, for a river going through many provinces and cities from up and down, various regions will cut off the water for power generation for their interests, and the profits produced by the reservoirs will mostly go into the pockets of the officials who are in charge of these projects. Besides, the special funds allocated for the improvement of the water conservancy facilities every year will be corrupted or appropriated. Once hit by the floods, most reservoirs release the floodwater. And what the CCP can do is to deploy the troops and officials for huge-crowd show when meeting with the disasters, playing up the value of its existence.

To the substantive issue that the flood occurs each year, the Chinese have already become numbed. ©ChineseTag,com 2010.06.21
