Another 100,000 people may be moved from the area around China's massive Three Gorges Dam because of landslides and bank collapses, state media say.

They quote a government official as saying that the number of geological disasters had increased dramatically since the dam on the Yangtze River reached its maximum level in 2010.

About 1.4m people have already been relocated from the area.

The world's largest dam is said to have cost up to $40bn (£25bn) to build.

Some 100,000 people may be moved from the area in the next three to five years, Liu Yuan, an inspector at China's ministry of land resources, told China National Radio.

And losing in the trade war means less money for maintenance of infrastructure.

I hope nothing happens to this glass bridge:

China says Hubei will suffer no more this summer as floods threaten
Updated 2020.06.11 17:36 GMT+8

China will spare no effort to ensure the former novel coronavirus epicenter Hubei Province is well protected from flooding this summer, according to the Ministry of Water Resources on Thursday, amid warnings that heavier-than-usual rain could cause widespread damage.
The water levels in 148 rivers in China have risen above warning thresholds, Vice Minister of Water Resources Ye Jianchun told a news conference in Beijing.

The mayor of Hubei's provincial capital, Wuhan, which is at the confluence of the Yangtze and Han rivers in central China and saw the first reported novel coronavirus cases last year, warned in March of the need to prepare for floods.
"No matter what the situation, we will pay special attention to the flood control work of Hubei," Ye said.
"And we hope that after all efforts, Hubei will not have problems in flood control and the people of Hubei will not be made to suffer any more."
Noting that there are many rivers and lakes in Hubei, Ye said flood control in the province would be a "very heavy" task even without the epidemic.

The fix is simple. Stop blocking water flowing into Mekong, salween, irrawaddy , brahmaputra, indus and ganges river.
