Possible Emerging Issue Poet’s Ecosystem
We were discussing ‘dams’ on the site earlier … my mind turned to this topic.
I have been watching news releases on the Three Gorges Dam and thinking about our Chinese relationship...

“There is serious concern that China's Three Gorges Dam may fail due to heavy flooding. And that if it fails, it would kill millions of people, perhaps 100 million according to some claims,”

Parts of central China are experiencing rain to rival the massive flooding in 1998, leaving around one-third of China's farming output at risk. (See https://realmoney.thestreet.com/politics/china-s-three-gorges-dam-buckles-as-country-battles-floods-15379139)
So What...
If it was to fail-- heavy flooding-- millions dead-- current economy in the tank-- global impact we are all economically interconnected —pandemic-- fertile ground for further growth..etc..
The question(s) become:
Will the West come to the rescue given the current political climate?
See (https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-risks-of-chinas-three-gorges-dams-flooding/)
What are the implications for Poet? What steps is the Company taking top mitigate such a possiblity?
