China Launches the Yarlung Tsangpo River Hydropower Project: Meeting the Demand of 300 Million People
China has recently commenced the 'Century Project', the Yarlung Tsangpo River hydropower project, which aims to meet the annual electricity demand of 300 million people. This large-scale infrastructure initiative is seen as an effort to rejuvenate China's sluggish economy.
However, the construction of this dam not only affects water control, particularly concerning India, but also poses potential environmental and ecological risks. Experts warn that the project's construction harbors hidden risks of natural disasters, which require careful consideration.
