China's Liulan Dam Collapses, Swallowing Downstream Villages
After record typhoon rains, the Liulan Dam in Guangxi breached and swallowed downstream villages, and the before-and-after satellite images went viral in Japan. Reactions mixed dark cover-up humor, doubt over the official death toll, and 'man-made disaster' analysis of shoddy construction. SCMP and FNN confirm the breach and flooding; a claim that 'a million are missing' circulated but is unverified.
