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

Despite assurances from Chinese officials, neighboring countries remain wary of the dam’s long-term consequences.
