According to爆料 from insiders related to the Three Gorges, the relevant departments had long possessed a hundreds-of-pages analysis report on a Three Gorges dam breach; simulations showed the flood peak reaching Yichang in 6 hours, Wuhan in 24 hours, and the affected population reaching 132 million after a week, ultimately affecting at least 470 million people.
According to leaks from an insider at the Three Gorges project, Hengzhou first burned the huge number of victims' bodies in the open air with fuel in order to cover up the deaths and destroy the evidence, but because progress was too slow it switched to using highly concentrated acid to disfigure the remains.
Construction of the Three Gorges New Channel project, with a total investment of nearly 80 billion yuan, officially commenced in Yichang, Hubei. Executive Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang attended and announced the start of construction, while Hubei Provincial Party Secretary Guan Zhiou was downplayed in the official report.
With the China Three Gorges Project Corporation acting as the credit entity, the China Development Bank provided a massive 30 billion yuan, 15-year loan for the Three Gorges Project. At that time, Yu Xiaoping was responsible for related financing at the head office.
