I have read it. A counter-report is needed.

[1] On March 9, 1966, Lin Yishan, Director of the Yangtze River Basin Planning Office, wrote a
report to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Mao Zedong, stating
that the Yangtze River planning and research on the Three Gorges Project, under the
personal guidance of the Premier, were conducted in accordance with the Chairman's
directives of "active preparation, full reliability" and "beneficial without disadvantages." The
comprehensive utilization of the Three Gorges' water resources offers enormous benefits,
but active development requires resolving the contradiction between construction scale and
economic development levels. This is a key reason some oppose the near-term construction
of the Three Gorges. In recent years, in accordance with the Chairman's directives, we have
focused on studying three issues: structural protection, reservoir siltation, and phased
construction. We have further recognized that phased construction is more consistent with
the "beneficial without disadvantages" principle, greatly increasing the feasibility of near-term construction of the Three Gorges Project. The planning and design principles of the
Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project are: comprehensive utilization, rationally arranging
flood control, power generation, and navigation, fully utilizing water resources, eliminating
harmful effects and promoting beneficial effects, and, in coordination with other flood
control projects, gradually achieving the goal of fundamentally controlling the Yangtze River.
The process for achieving various water conservancy goals can be implemented gradually,
based on actual needs. Phased construction allows for smaller investments and shorter
construction periods, enabling earlier returns, facilitating the rational use of state funds and
facilitating project maintenance. After providing detailed analysis of issues such as siltation
control and air defense at the Three Gorges Project, the report concluded that, given the
current state of national economic development, the Three Gorges Project should be
completed sooner rather than later, and recommended that the central government list the
project as a construction project during the Third and Fourth Five-Year Plans. On April 10,
Wang Renzhong, Second Secretary of the Central-South Bureau of the CPC Central
Committee and First Secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, submitted Lin
Yishan's report, along with two other related reports, to Mao Zedong for review. Mao's
comments were inscribed on Wang Renzhong's submissions.
