China has begun construction on what will be the world’s largest hydropower dam on the Yarlung Tsangpo River in Tibet, a $167 billion project that could surpass the Three Gorges Dam in both size and output.

The project has caused a surge in Chinese hydropower and construction stocks, but regional tensions and environmental debates continue to intensify. As China pushes ahead, the dam is seen as both a symbol of engineering ambition and a flashpoint for geopolitical and ecological disputes in Asia.
