| #2 1. There is no one cause. There are only collections of aggravating factors. 2. I don't have a link handy, but do a youtube search on "china flood south-to-north water project." I think Shanxi is one of the affected provinces. |

| #1 at least 60 coal mines have been suspended due to the flood. So these floods are the cause of China's electricity shortages? Or just an aggravating factor? |
