Recently, a series of protests occurred in Belarus. A controversial presidential election led citizens onto the streets demanding Alexander Lukashenko, who has been in power for many years, to step down. After nine days of massive protests on the streets of Minsk, the capital of Belarus, and a strong public opinion, the current president, Alexander Lukashenko, was forced to agree that a new presidential election will take place after the constitutional referendum.

On August 16, about 200,000 people joined the March for Freedom protesting Lukashenko’s dishonest re-election. In the face of a protesting crowd, the CCP mouth-piece CCTV reported that 70,000 people were gathered together to support the government, maintaining stability and peace. However, the so-called 70,000 people were not seen in the footage.

Zheng Haochang, a commentator on current affairs residing in the U.S., said, “Such cases of democracy overthrowing a dictatorship are extremely sensitive to the CCP, a regime that is overly obsessed with power. Historically, the CCP only reports activities that are favorable to the regime when it comes to dealing with protesters. You see this way of reporting on the protests of the Extradition Bill in Hong Kong by the state-run media. Instead of measuring the legs of an elephant, the CCP tells you the measurements of the legs by measuring the nose. This is a classic diversionary tactic. The CCP is afraid of reporting on those protesters because such actions are exactly what it is afraid of.”

65-year-old Lukashenko was the first president after Belarus became independent in 1994 and has remained in power until now. Since the elections have always been controversial, and opponents and dissidents always face suppression, imprisonment, exile, and “being disappeared”, experts believe that Belarus is identical to China.

Sheng Xue said, “The situation in China today has reached a point where fundamental changes must be made to such a system in China. Reforming, adjusting, and improving the system on certain levels is no longer applicable to the CCP.” She expressed that Belarus is currently under a reforming transformation and China has already missed that opportunity.

On August 19, the Three Gorges Dam opened 10 spillways to lower the flood pressure for the first time since 2003 when the massive dam started operation. On the day before, Sichuan Province issued a Level One Flood Alert, also for the first time in history. Floodwaters reached the feet of Leshan Giant Buddha for the first time in 70 years.

The fifth flood peak entered the Three Gorges Reservoir on Aug. 19 at a speed of 74,000 cubic meters per second. The Dam opened 10 spillways to discharge the flood, a record high since the opening of the dam.

Four days ago, the dam was just hit by the fourth Flood Peak on Aug. 14.

The fifth flood turned part of Chongqing into a swamp land. Many roads were shut off.

Water flooded the gate of Chaotianmen Wharf, and shops near the Yangtze river began to evacuate the day before.

By 10 a.m. on Aug. 19, water level at Chaotianmen Wharf exceeded the safety level by 5.69 meters (18.7 feet), and it was still rising.

Leshan City of Sichuan Province is one of the worst-hit cities as three major rivers—Min, Qingyi and Dadu Rivers, converge inside the city. After days of torrential rains in the province, water levels at all three rivers kept rising and eventually inundated Leshan City. In some places, floodwaters reached rooftops.

The 233 ft. high, Leshan Giant Buddha—the tallest stone Buddha in the world—had its feet covered by water, and the scenic spot was closed. This is the first time since 1949 that the Leshan Giant Buddha has been flooded to its feet.

The Buddha statue took 90 years to build between 713 and 803 (Tang Dynasty), specifically for the purpose of protecting people from water-related disasters, especially for preventing boats from sinking.

There is a folklore saying among locals which says, “toes in water, flooding to follow.” It means, when water level covers the Buddha statue’s toes, the entire province will be severely flooded.

The flood also caused a road to collapse. During the early morning hours of Aug. 19, the street in front of Yinlong Square in Yibin City suddenly collapsed to form a huge pit, swallowing 21 cars instantly.

On the same day, a man in Deyang City was washed away when filming the floods on the river bank of Min River.
