As expected, the news that China is building the Motuo Hydropower Station in Tibet has once again made Sister Jia restless.
She even called the Motuo Hydropower Station project "a provocation against India" and threatened to "retaliate".
People who have watched the related videos would surely find Sister Jia's confused logic and sensitive nerves very amusing. Building a dam on its own river to generate electricity is purely a public welfare project, how can it be considered as "provoking India"? This is clearly a typical case of "judging a noble person with a petty mind".
Sister Jia's reaction was predictable. When the third brother (India) closed the dam on the upper reaches of the Indus River, causing serious water shortages in Pakistan, and opened the sluice gates on the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra River, causing floods in Bangladesh, he should have anticipated today. The "petty mind" of self-centeredness is exemplified most thoroughly in the third brother.
China is a responsible major country, unlike Indians who are full of tricks. We only want to generate electricity and improve people's livelihoods. If you feel threatened, that's your problem; we don't have time to bother with you.
However, if the third brother deliberately politicizes water resource technology issues, insists on portraying himself as a victim to gain international sympathy, and uses this as an excuse for military expansion (such as increasing troops in southern Tibet), then don't blame the Chinese people for being unkind.
The rapids of the Yarlung Zangbo River will eventually prove: true "retaliation" is not military intimidation, but refusing to let them ride on the train of China's development. While India is still immersed in the fantasy of "water hegemony", China has already turned the turbines of Asia's clean energy future - whether India chooses confrontation or cooperation will determine whether it is swallowed by the waves or sails with the water.
