China Ignores India's Opposition, Invests $4.9 Trillion in Yarlung Tsangpo Hydropower Project
Despite India's strong opposition to the project, the Chinese government has decided to proceed with a $4.9 trillion investment in the Yarlung Tsangpo hydropower station construction plan. The establishment of this hydropower station is believed to alter water resource management and electricity supply in the region, potentially leading to increased geopolitical tensions.
The controversy surrounding this plan mainly focuses on its environmental impact and the implications for downstream countries' water resources. There has been a vigorous debate within India on this issue, with calls for immediate action to protect its water resource security.
