Dikes won’t work. As you note, the large river that flows out will need to go somewhere. Dikes can contain a river, but they will not contain the sea.

I know people like to throw up Holland as an example of land below sea level, but in reality it’s a small country and only a relatively small amount of land needs to be protected from the sea flooding in.

In Eastern China, it’s a thousand kilometers of shoreline and millions upon millions of acres.
