8 Stories on Three Gorges Dam
There could be few more homely or universal scenes than clothes hanging to dry on a washing line.
A landslide on a mountainside in central China earlier this week buried a bus carrying as many as 27 people, police told CNN on Friday.
Senior officials in Beijing are now grumbling that the megaproject on the

Some 5 million have been evacuated, but improved emergency-response planning may have saved thousands
A final group of more than 100,000 people will be forced to relocate by the end of next year to make way for the Three Gorges Dam

Floods unleashed by torrential rains have killed at least 161 people and left dozens more missing in southwestern China, prompting authorities to put the massive Three Gorges hydroelectric project on alert.
It was China's late paramount leader Deng Xiaoping who "resolutely backed" the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989, according to former premier Li Peng, the South China Morning Post reports.
