The Yellow River/Huang He has gone through some major shifts in course over the years:

Are the more recent changes inevitable, or is there a reasonable POD where the river maintains a southerly course from the XIII Century to the present day? Does this fall into the category of ASB geological PODs or is it possible with shifts in weather and human effort?

What would be the effects on China if the mouth of river stayed south of the Shangdong?
