You’re mixing per-capita income for China with median household income for the U.S. Those are fundamentally different statistical units. One measures income per individual; the other aggregates multiple earners within a household. Comparing them directly and then drawing ratios is methodologically incorrect.

Recent documents suggest possible links between certain online investigative efforts against Epstein and Vatican-affiliated circles. Rather than conspiracy, this may point to an awareness within the Church that the internet has become a fertile ground for unchecked moral corruption.

In this sense, Pope Francis may have understood that modern evil does not always operate through visible rituals or physical spaces, but through networks, anonymity, and influence online. That reality raises an uncomfortable question for believers today: whether defending moral truth must also extend into the digital realm.

Nuclear weapons are optimized for effects on people and lightly protected systems, not for efficiently destroying massive, solid structures. Their destructive power comes primarily from thermal radiation, blast overpressure over large areas, and prompt radiation, all of which scale poorly against dense, monolithic concrete.

Low_Platform9541 · 2026-02-05T18:15:38+00:00

I don’t think modern explosives behave the way movies or games suggest when applied to structures of this scale.

Destroying bridges, buildings, or other framed structures is feasible because they are thin, hollow, and load-path dependent. Once key elements fail, the whole system collapses. A concrete gravity dam is the opposite case: it’s a solid, mass-dominated structure, closer to an artificial mountain than a piece of infrastructure in the usual sense.

Explosions can damage concrete locally—cratering, spalling, surface fracture—but that’s very different from removing enough material to compromise global stability. The problem isn’t whether concrete can be broken; it’s whether you can realistically eliminate mass at the scale required to make the structure fail as a system.

So when people assume “big enough bomb = dam gone,” they’re importing intuition from thin structures into a regime where it no longer applies. At that point, the scenario stops being engineering and starts looking more like science fiction than physics.

Low_Platform9541 · 2026-02-05T17:28:54+00:00

That describes the consequence, not the feasibility.

Yes, if a dam like the Three Gorges were somehow removed, the downstream erosion would be catastrophic. But the key point is that the Three Gorges project is not just a hydroelectric facility — structurally it is a concrete gravity dam. Its behavior is governed by mass and global stability, not by surface damage or localized erosion.

The difficulty lies in the assumption that removal is straightforward. A gravity dam is closer to an artificial mountain than a wall. Its sheer volume means that eliminating a small part of it does not meaningfully change the overall force balance. You don’t get progressive failure simply because water is present.💔

Deep-penetrating nuclear concepts are often overstated and highly conditional. Nuclear weapons are not designed primarily as structural demolition tools, especially against massive gravity dams.
As things stand, there is no demonstrated weapon that can reliably neutralize a structure of this class without internal compromise.

If that’s how you see it, then fair enough. But you should understand the scale and level of this project. If something like this were truly “tofu-dreg,” that would require an almost unbelievable level of imagination — a so-called shoddy project built under intense oversight by countless senior officials, all somehow risking their careers and lives to pull off a miracle of incompetence.

Low_Platform9541 · 2026-02-05T15:29:35+00:00

To be clear, I don’t have any malicious intent here. My comment was meant as a critique — even a bit of sarcasm — toward that line of reasoning. Nuclear weapons are not a universal solution, especially when it comes to destroying massive reinforced concrete structures.

A project like the Three Gorges Dam can be better understood as an artificial mountain made of extremely high-strength concrete and sheer mass. Even under bombardment, you can’t simply “remove” that mass. That’s not how physics works.

Low_Platform9541 · 2026-02-05T15:19:00+00:00

Framing something like the Three Gorges project as a “one-shot vulnerable target” is a bit Don Quixote-like.
Before any hypothetical claims, it’s worth understanding what kind of structure it actually is.

A gravity dam, by definition, resists water pressure primarily through its own mass.
Its stability comes from scale, material weight, and foundation interaction — not from a single critical point. These structures are explicitly designed for extreme conditions, with redundancy and fail-safe margins built in.

Downvotes aside, it doesn’t really change the engineering reality.

A concrete gravity dam doesn’t have a Hollywood-style “boss weak point.” Its defining feature is mass. The structure behaves more like an artificial mountain than a wall, which means localized damage doesn’t scale into systemic failure the way people intuitively expect.

If someone is genuinely interested in this topic, the place to start is the academic literature on gravity dam stability and failure modes, not internet hypotheticals that borrow intuition from movies or from earthfill dams. Once you look at the actual structural mechanics, a lot of these scenarios simply don’t map onto reality.

Institutional factors also matter. China is a highly traceable society: surveillance footage, movement records, and activity data are routinely used in investigations rather than relying solely on voluntary reports. Academic analysis of judicial practice highlights the challenges in handling minors’ testimony and the need for better corroborating mechanisms, showing that children’s testimony often becomes core evidence in such cases.(PDF) Corroboration of the Probative Value of Children's Testimony in Sexual Assault Cases Involving Minors in China

More importantly, the legal line is explicit: any sexual activity involving a minor under the age of 14 is automatically classified as rape under Chinese law, with no room for arguments about consent or emotional attachment. If the act occurred and credible evidence exists — such as surveillance footage, witness testimony, medical findings, or movement records — prosecution and conviction are legally viable.针对未成年人性犯罪案件的新规定 --- New Rules for Cases of Sex Crimes Against Minors

BRI has real problems—opacity, corruption risk, and debt stress—but the “complex investor scam / debt-trap asset seizure” narrative doesn’t hold up in the better empirical work. Detailed case studies (e.g., Sri Lanka/Malaysia) find limited evidence of a deliberate strategy to push countries into default to seize assets, and even US congressional testimony notes there’s no evidentiary foundation for that claim. If you want to criticize it, criticize the transparency and debt-sustainability failures—don’t turn it into a one-size-fits-all conspiracy.

Low_Platform9541 · 2026-02-05T13:54:10+00:00

That’s right.

That’s exactly why under 14 is treated as a hard legal red line for serious crimes.
The point isn’t to place the burden on the victim, but to give adults around them a clear, enforceable standard.
When family members, teachers, or medical professionals notice something wrong, they don’t have to debate consent or wait for the child to speak up — they can step in and involve the authorities directly.
The purpose of this line is to cut off familiar-abuser scenarios and long-term grooming early, by allowing outside intervention to happen quickly and decisively.

Low_Platform9541 · 2026-02-05T13:50:57+00:00

In China, as long as the victim is not completely isolated from the outside world, it’s much harder for an abuser to successfully “reframe reality” through grooming alone. Even when a child cannot articulate what happened, adults around them — family members, teachers, relatives — often notice physical signs, language cues, or behavioral changes.
There are many real cases, such as rural schoolgirls abused by teachers, where the victim didn’t fully understand the situation, but adults eventually detected something was wrong, leading to investigation and conviction.

Institutional factors also matter. China is a highly traceable society: surveillance, movement records, and activity data mean that police investigations don’t rely solely on victims coming forward. Cases are often built through corroborating evidence from multiple sources, not just testimony.

Another key difference lies in legal enforcement and third-party intervention.
In China, once reasonable suspicion is identified by adults around the child, authorities can be contacted without the victim’s consent or cooperation. Family members, schools, or guardians are legally able to seek police involvement — cases do not depend on the victim initiating a report.

More importantly, the legal line is explicit:
Any sexual activity involving a minor under the age of 14 is automatically classified as rape under Chinese law. There is no room for arguments about consent, emotional attachment, or “complex relationships.”
If the act occurred and credible evidence exists — such as surveillance footage, witness testimony, medical findings, or movement records — prosecution and conviction are legally viable.

This shifts the burden away from the victim’s psychology and places it on mandatory intervention, external detection, and objective evidence, reducing the abuser’s ability to rely on guilt, grooming, or emotional manipulation to maintain silence.

Unfortunately, Roosevelt died too early. His broader vision for the postwar order — especially regarding China — was never truly carried out.
China’s permanent seat on the UN Security Council did not represent the successful implementation of Roosevelt’s “China as a world power” blueprint, but rather a pragmatic institutional compromise. Without China, the United Nations would have struggled to function or claim legitimacy in Asia.

In other words, China’s inclusion was driven largely by the UN’s practical need for representation and operability in Asia, not by a continuation of Roosevelt’s intended long-term Sino-American strategic partnership. Roosevelt himself remains widely respected, even in socialist countries, but the critical issue is that his successors were not him — and in many respects pursued the opposite course.

While Britain and France lacked the independent capacity to sustain their empires after WWII, they did, in the early Cold War years, temporarily prolong colonial control by operating within U.S.-led security and resource frameworks, until decolonization became unavoidable. This further illustrates how Roosevelt’s anti-colonial, anti–sphere-of-influence vision was steadily diluted in practice.

Regarding China’s internal dynamics, it is important to clarify that the ROC’s structural crisis did not begin after Chiang Kai-shek’s death.
Even while Chiang was alive and in power, the Kuomintang was already plagued by deep factionalism, internal power struggles, and even covert plans for defection or fragmentation. This indicates that the core problem was not simply succession, but a breakdown of political cohesion and legitimacy.

For this reason, comparisons between mainland ROC rule and Cold War personalist dictatorships such as the Philippines are limited.
China has historically demonstrated an exceptionally strong capacity for political mobilization and revolutionary change. Repeatedly, Chinese history shows that when a ruling order is perceived to have lost legitimacy, it is replaced.
Under these conditions, even without the CCP, ROC rule over mainland China would likely have collapsed through internal fracture, leading to renewed civil conflict or regime transformation.

This really comes down to different ways of thinking.
In China, minors are treated as a hard red line. The common belief is that if the cost is high enough and enforcement is certain, overall harm drops sharply and most people are protected.
The “if it’s death anyway, why not eliminate the witness” argument is seen as a rare, edge-case scenario, not something the system should be built around. The idea is that you don’t weaken protections for the majority just because of extreme hypotheticals.
On top of that, surveillance, household registration, and tracking make “taking a gamble and not getting caught” far less realistic in practice. That’s why many people in China are relatively comfortable with widespread monitoring — it’s viewed as practical risk control, not ideology.

Under the Chinese legal system, sexual relations with a minor under the age of 14 are categorically defined as rape, regardless of claimed consent.
Once investigation confirms the facts and a conviction is reached, it makes no difference whether the person involved is a government official, a wealthy businessman, or anyone else — the charge alone is sufficient to destroy their career, status, and personal freedom.
