The Chinese are proud of this enormous (in every sense of the world) achievement. We saw the dam just a few months before construction was officially completed. Whole books have been written about this controversial dam, so I won't even attempt to address all the pros and cons of building it. It's now a done deal. BTW, it's ironically appropriate that I could't take a decent picture of the dam because of the horrible air pollution. You wouldn't believe how difficult it was to pull out even this much detail in the picture.
For excellent information about all aspects of the dam, and of modern China, go to:
