Talk:2020 China floods

Regarding the section Three Gorges Dam

The second paragraph is in my honest opinion very poorly written, I already fixed the last sentence

There has been widespread media coverage on the safety of Three Gorges Dam, especially from the media of Pan Green Coalition in Taiwan.[21][22] "The restrictions in human flow during COVID-19 pandemic in mainland China halted regular dam maintenance, dam inspection, training of officials and the construction of hydraulic projects, which were scheduled in Winter-Spring 2020", according to a member of the expert committee of the state-sanctioned National Disaster Reduction Centre.[23]

The first sentence talks about "from the media of [the] Pan Green Coalition" which is already a charged term.

One of the sources is sina(google translate): "Regarding rumors and malicious attacks on the Three Gorges Dam in mainland China, Taiwan’s green media [...] a "green media" in Taiwan Province once again showed the lower limit of IQ, saying that the continuous heavy rain in the south recently caused the flood discharge of the Three Gorges Dam to flood the ancient city of Phoenix. It also opened its brain and claimed that the Yellow River had reached the mouth of the Qiantang River. . Seeing Taiwanese media composing such a "journey", mainland netizens laughed."

Instead there should be an original source to a Taiwanese article saying that the dam might collapse.

The readability is very low, since it is not clear how the second sentence fits into there. Just a quote with no connection to the previous sentence. Also it is not close to a quote from the original Chinese language article, more like a summary of a paragraph: "In addition, water conservancy has been significantly affected by the epidemic this year. The first is the maintenance of the embankment, which mainly depends on winter and spring repairs, but this year's winter repairs and spring corrections are anti-epidemic, and the flow of people is restricted, and winter repairs and spring repairs are affected in many places; second, many wading that should be completed before the flood The project was affected by the epidemic. In addition, this year's flood control inspections by the Ministry of Water Resources and governments at all levels and the training of grassroots cadres have all been affected by the epidemic. These increase the uncertainty and have an impact on the preparations for flood control."
