China has resettled 1.7 million people for the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, a huge human project probably unprecedented in history. But that's not the end of the story.The threat of landslides along the dam's banks will force tens of thousands to move again in the same area! Resettlement of residents out of the disaster-prone areas has almost become a standard practice for Chinese governments. Following the July 21 downpour in Beijing, the city government also plans to move 74,000 residents in mountainous areas in rural Beijing.
