Deutsche Welle wrote today (July 20): "China has officially launched the construction of the Yarlung Tsangpo River downstream hydropower project (Motuo Hydropower Station) in Tibet. This new hydropower project has a total installed capacity of 60 million to 81 million kilowatts, with an annual power generation of about 300 billion kilowatt-hours, equivalent to the power generation capacity of three Three Gorges Dams. It will also become the world's largest dam. However, this large-scale project has also raised concerns about the environment, as people worry that it will severely damage the local ecosystem."
[Witty] Comment: Deutsche Welle's remarks are simply absurd. It is no better than saying that forcing the flow of the Yarlung Tsangpo River to "work" violates the "rights" of water. Many countries around the Himalayas are developing hydropower, but none have a construction standard that can match China's, and no country has as comprehensive and detailed environmental considerations as China. Is it reasonable for India to build a dam, but not for China? According to this logic, would Western media later attribute all natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, droughts, and floods to the Yarlung Tsangpo River downstream hydropower project?
