You should do your own homework. The funny thing about the internet is that in the time it took you to write out this question, you could have typed in the names of each of those rivers into Google Maps and found out where they are located.

I suggest that you copy/paste them into a search engine to do the work yourself.

Maybe, we can never be sure. Last time I saw such posts was when the Olympics were being organized. A lot of similar questions were doing the rounds, and it seemed like Chinese Communist Party has launched a major drive to boost its image and lot of trolls with level 1 or 2 account asking trollish questions and answering trollish. In recent week I have seen another spurt of such activity. In fact some of these trolls have copied the profile of one “Mr Hex Vision” who is a top answerer in China category.

I do not know what is going on, but maybe you are right. I smell they are up to something.
