Torrential rains batter parts of China, triggering floods and mudslides

[casual]

These floods are just a result of China's poor infrastructure maintenance.

The floods are a result of too much rain.

Nope, it has been clarified in the Americas forum numerous times by PDF members that flooding damage from too much rain is simply caused by poor US infrastructure design.

China I guess is always the exception...

If such scenes appear in China, there is no doubt that the official responsible for organizing the rescue will be removed immediately. It's ridiculous. The rescue site is in the city. A few days later, there is no progress

Wildfires are annual occurrence in America. What American has done to manage them? Every year its the same old story.

And floods are known to be coming from days of Noah.

Yeah but according to Chinese PDF members all flood issues in the US are caused by US infrastructure not being designed adequately to handle mother nature. But flood issues in China are not due to poor design issues...because China is an exception to the rule when it comes to these things. No blame is warranted...

Its all about slope. As a project man i get tired telling our civil department to maintain proper slopes to prevent water accumulation.
In old cities its difficult but no new cities should be flooded if the natural flow patterns are maintained and drainage systems are properly designed.
The only exception are areas adjoining the coast as natural drainage is difficult at sea level.
A very interesting documentary on a wrongly designed drainage system in Mexico is on national geographic.
