China
is building the world’s first super dam on the lower reaches of the
Yarlung Tsangpo river in Tibet near the Line of Actual Control (LAC)
heavily militarized frontier with India. This megaproject, with a
planned capacity of 60 gigawatts, would generate three times as much
electricity as the Three Gorges Dam, currently the world’s largest
hydropower plant.
Based on the 1968 Helsinki Rules and the 1997
UN Convention on Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses, a
lower riparian cannot veto interventions in a river by the upper
riparian.
Originating on the Angsi Glacier near Mount Kailash in
the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), the 3,969-kilometer Yarlung Zangbo
flows into India, the lower riparian in this case, as the Brahmaputra.
After the 2017 Doklam border standoff, the Chinese abruptly stopped
communicating water flow levels with the Indians, no longer mindful of
India’s concerns. Indian strategic analyst Brahma Chellaney fretted in
an opinion piece on asia.nikkei July 14 that China can't just keep
building the world's biggest dam in secret, lamenting the mute
international reaction.
The Indians are very worried that China
won't alert downstream India in case of disastrously massive flow rate
during the monsoon season, or may divert the river towards the north to
mitigate water scarcity in some parts of the country. For the latter,
the implication for India would be a horrendous reduction of water flow
to India's northern regions, Indian strategic analyst Basu Sharma has
noted.
Chellaney says grimly that China will in due course be
able to leverage transboundary flows in its relations with rival India,
threatening the South Asian country with far-reaching strategic,
environmental and inter-riparian implications of the largest dam ever
conceived. In other words, India is screwed.

But they will start a war and try to conquer that part of china though they will be totally screwed
People in glass houses should not throw stones.
Starting a war is a stupid thing to do, when you know your glass house will be washed away as well.
China is not Nepal, Kashmir or Bangladesh. Even Pakistan is no walkover for the Indians.
All these Fools never goes thru their thick numb skulls when they tried to hassle the other parties.
Cannot simply co-exist and live and let live.
Before they start their nonsense activities against the other party, they never think what's the party may have something to hold their balls.
Once they retaliated they are dead ducks and.have to beg for give chance can or not.
The farking Americunts had to send their old woman to tell China not to ban their rare earth.
Be humble lah. Still want to talk loud loud that not fair I'm business dealings.
You fair meh?
China always think three to four steps ahead and planned other alternatives for survival before they retaliated any moves.
These Lower South East Asian stooges still mm chai see sucked up to UAssA.
The Americunts would just simply turned their backs when you are in shits against China.
See now SamSeng, wah gangsters, oops Samsung lost how many billions listening to that Bidamn to stop chips business with China.
Now UASSA just turned their backs on them.
Stupid Koreans.
Just to add.
Most of the Water Resources main directions are up from China.
If they are dirty bastards, simply cut off you dead ducks.
Or just follow the Japs and the Americunts poison the waters after them, also you dead rats.
Chinese people mostly had conscience as they mainly believed in their merciful God's.
Unlike the savages Whites and also bananas who believed that they will go to Heavens even they committed heinous sins and crimes.
That's why they are so wars mongers.
India is forever paranoid. Simple reason, it's projection of what they will do in the same situation.
Devious little cuΠ7$
India is now gloating that it is the next space power after one rocket to the moon.
