China ridică un mega baraj în Tibet, în ciuda riscului prăbușirii ghețarilor din zonă care au provocat inundații catastrofale în Nepal

Concerns over glacier melting at the Nepal-China border are unlikely to affect China's plans for a mega-dam on the Yarlung Zangbo River. The project, deemed the 'project of the century', is part of China's five-year renewable energy plan. India fears environmental impacts downstream, especially after recent catastrophic floods. China's Vice Premier emphasized the project's importance and commitment to quality and safety standards. The investment is estimated at 1.2 trillion yuan, with the dam expected to significantly contribute to Tibet's electricity needs.
