According to a report by the CCP spokesperson, the Ministry of Water Resources and the National Development and Reform Commission announced on November 1 that the Three Gorges Project had recently completed general completion and acceptance procedures.
The official acceptance conclusion is that the construction of the Three Gorges Project is fully completed, the quality of the project meets the specifications and design requirements, the overall performance is excellent, the operation continues in good condition and the benefits comprehensive flood control, power generation, shipping and utilization of water resources are fully utilized.
However, last year there were widespread rumors that “the Three Gorges Dam was deformed”. When the Yangtze River flooded this summer, Chongqing upstream from the Three Gorges was flooded and Wuhan downstream was flooded. The flood discharge function of the Three Gorges reservoir area and the safety of the dam were again questioned.
In late June, the Yangtze River erupted with extreme flooding, and the water level at the Three Gorges Dam was very high, causing tremendous pressure on a number of cities in the middle and lower reaches of Wuhan. On July 2, the Yangtze River’s No. 1 flood formed upstream, causing the inflow of the Three Gorges Reservoir to increase to 53,000 cubic meters per second. Although the Three Gorges Dam opened two discharge holes on the 29th to increase the discharge flow, the area of the Three Gorges reservoir The water level broke the limit by almost two meters.
The situation is grim in Chongqing, located upstream from the Three Gorges Dam, and in Wuhan downstream. On July 12, the Poyang Lake area had a red warning and Jiangxi was in emergency. The Wuhan Guanjiang Pavilion was flooded, exposing only the upper part. The beaches of the Hankou, Wuchang and Hanyang rivers were closed for management. Netizens have debated whether the full-blown flood discharge from the Three Gorges Dam in recent days has exacerbated the flooding of the entire Yangtze River basin.
Fa Guang’s article believes that in response to the Three Gorges’ widely questioned capacity for water storage and drainage, state media sidestepped these issues.
The Three Gorges Project, known as the largest water conservation project in the world, has triggered a massive migration project of millions, and damage to the environment caused by overdevelopment of hydroelectric power, especially geological disasters. , has kept it relevant from the moment it was built. Controversy.
The Three Gorges Project was proposed during the Mao Zedong era, but it was not launched due to opposition from some CCP officials and academics. Former Prime Minister Li Peng of the Communist Party of China revealed in his memoirs that the Three Gorges Project was approved by Deng Xiaoping and initiated by Jiang Zemin.
After construction of the Three Gorges Project began in 1994, disputes over the construction of the project never stopped.
The strange thing is, why is it now being announced that “construction of the Three Gorges Project has been completed”?
In 2018, German water conservation expert Wang Weiluo noted in the article “Why was the ‘Three Gorges Project General Completion Acceptance Report’ not completed?” Wang Yang chaired the first plenary meeting of the Three Gorges Comprehensive Completion Committee in 2014. He said that the completion and general acceptance of the Three Gorges Project is a great responsibility, and “it is necessary to organize the acceptance of the completion in the spirit to be highly responsible for the country, the people and the history. ” But until 2018, the acceptance committee chaired by Wang Yang was unable to produce an acceptance report.
The article said that Wang Yang was unwilling to sign the General Completion Acceptance Report of the Three Gorges Project, because when Wang Yang was the secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee, he learned that “The Three Gorges Reservoir Gorges is a sloping lake with a water conservation slope, and this water conservation slope changes with the size of the Yangtze River. ” Once the Three Gorges Reservoir area encounters catastrophic flooding, Chongqing will be at risk of being submerged. Therefore, Wang Yang was hesitant to sign the General Completion Acceptance Report of the Three Gorges Project. “For Wang Yang, the best way is to delay it until things change.”
However, the official comprehensive acceptance report did not mention Wang Yang’s name or the names of any other officials.
The outsiders asked, who is the chair of the State Council General Completion Acceptance Committee for the Three Gorges Project?
