If it’s China, it could honestly be anything. I remember reading an article about how the Three Gorges Dam actually slowed Earth’s rotation by a few microseconds. But 2028 feels way too soon for something major like that—expect something on that scale closer to 2032.

It wasn't completely true. Earth's rotation could only be slowed (0.06 ms) when the dam achieved its full capacity, which alone China isn't capable of doing.
BTW, you just read it above and remembered 🤣

I read about the dam here : https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/china-three-gorges-dam/

I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying the calculation of filling the whole of "three gorges dam" is wrong.
Also, I've also mentioned the same above in the article. But you said you remembered.
Look at the para 3 from the article above.
