China has begun construction on what is set to become the world's largest hydropower dam on the Yarlung Tsangpo (Brahmaputra) River in Tibet, with a staggering $167 billion investment. The project promises to generate three times more electricity than the Three Gorges Dam, boosting China's clean energy capacity and stimulating its economy. However, the dam has triggered alarm in downstream countries, especially India and Bangladesh, over potential impacts on water security, river flow, and regional stability. Environmentalists and human rights advocates have also raised concerns about the lack of transparency, consultation, and possible ecological damage. The move underscores rising geopolitical tensions in South Asia and highlights the complex trade-offs between green energy ambitions and cross-border water rights.
