Eight reservoirs in two districts of Beijing and the Yongding River, the largest river to flow through Beijing, released flood water at the same time, flooding parts of Hebei Province, such as Zhuozhou City, stranding many residents. Staff from Zhuozhou's Emergency Management Bureau admitted to Chinese media that upstream flooding from Beijing had caused Zhuozhou's water level to rise quickly. The CCP government communicated internally that in order to protect Beijing, where water isn't draining, both Hebei Province and Tianjin City need to protect Beijing and prioritize diverting floodwaters for Beijing. The flood discharge period will last for 8 days and 23 hours.

Saw your comment just now. Upon further reading, I also posted another article from BBC that provides what is perhaps a more objective view about the flooding. One does have to wonder, of course, how much of the information is controlled by the authorities.

As for how it relates to prepping, well, isn't getting ready for the effects of natural hazards (and the disasters that can be an aftermath of these) related to prepping?

Thanks for the lead.

I was just calling out the fact that this video has zero information wrt actually dealing with a situation like this, all it is is clickbait "china bad" garbage. This was not a "sacrifice" it was an emergency measure for a natural disaster that had already caused major damage and deaths in Beijing. They literally did this to save lives and aid operations were mobilized within 36 hours. Go post some shit about how to survive when your government actually breaks down like it has been in the US for my whole life.
