Yeah, this is the most Chinese shit ever
I’ve seen more than one artificially-fed waterfall in my own US city, so I don’t know what you’re on about.
inb4 tankies say that China is super based for doing this somehow
I think you mean more like China actually went and did the hard work to make a pipe version of nature because China actually gives a damn about elevated water unlike the USA where it’s all fascist gravity flow and evaporation.
But by all means, go on about how China’s “suspiciously like a waterpark” or “harvesting organs from family pets and covering it up with United Airlines pet death stories”. Go on. I’ll wait.
Ive seen the same thing at waterfalls in state parks. Its probably super common around the world by now.
Edit: Logging back in to Lemmy like Dang thats a lot of mad neoliberals confusing an inconvenient fact for defense of the CCP.
Yeah. I'm trying to think of a tourist attraction with a small waterfall, that doesn't do this.
The park staff is typically pretty open about it.
Small waterfalls are seasonal, and tourists are, well differently seasonal.
But that's nothing that a little cheap plumbing can't fix.
Its not like there's a garden hose at the other end lol. That would be more of a scandal but for real I was just at one last weekend and when I hiked to the top there was a road and a gutter system.
I don't think it's an issue of what they've done. I'm sure everyone makes a change to such tourist attractions to aid tourism or nature.
What's weird is that they lie about it. Anyone else would have issued a news article, even a local one, saying the rivers are dry and this is what we have done to save tourism/nature etc etc.
These fucks blatantly hide the truth because it makes it look like everything is perfect. And they do a fine job of it. This country is one one of the finest built bullshit producing machine and it won't change until someone at the top decides to have a change of heart.
Hold on America is still way far ahead in term of fine bullshit
