China to build world's largest hydropower dam in Tibet
 

This is terrible,
Tibet used to be a free nation.


[China has approved the construction
of what will be the world's
largest hydropower dam, stoking concerns
about displacement of communities
in Tibet and environmental impacts
downstream in India and Bangladesh.

The dam, which will be located in the
lower reaches of the
Yarlung Tsangpo river,
could generate three times more
energy than the Three Gorges Dam,
currently the world's largest
hydropower plant.

Chinese state media has described
the development as "a safe project
that prioritises ecological protection",
saying it will boost local prosperity
and contribute to Beijing's
climate neutrality goals.

Human rights groups and
experts, however, have raised concerns
about the development's knock-on effects.]
