🇨🇳 CHINA BEGINS BUILDING THE WORLD’S BIGGEST HYDROPOWER PROJECT... BUT AT WHAT COST?

Beijing just broke ground on the largest hydroelectric project Earth has ever seen - on the Yarlung Zangbo, near the contested Indian border.

Official line? Flood control. Climate resilience. Green energy.

But this isn’t just a dam. It’s a geopolitical lever - and a potential chokehold on water flows into India and Bangladesh.

China now controls the tap on South Asia’s most vital river system.

Clean energy or quiet escalation?
