Three Gorges Dam in good condition, authority says

As many places in China have been hit by severe floods due to heavy rainfall along the Yangzte River, the river's Three Gorges Dam－the country's largest water control project－has drawn attention at home and from abroad. The authority of the watershed hub management center of the China Three Gorges Corp responded to hot spot issues.

Q: Some foreign media have hyped the "deformation" and "collapse" of the Three Gorges Dam. What is the current operation status of the project? Have there been any deformation or other risks recently?

A: At present, the Three Gorges Dam is operating in good condition. There have been no deformations or other risks, and the project is not as fragile as some people think.
