  2. The government also engages in secret dam discharges - the CPC secretly releases the flood without informing the citizens to evacuate early because it would save the cost of compensating them for their property.

  4. The vast majority of CPC "mega projects" are merely poorly-planned vanity projects. From the over building of high speed rail to the 3 Gorges Dam, all were the result of an insecure and weak minded government.
