I hope that it’s just the usual China scare I hear from people but

that the dam will bring far more good than bad.

ie far more good for people I care about than those I kind of don’t

Edit:

The Chinese gov has done their usual above-market compensation of people affected by plans

This is what I’m interested in. Do you have any sources on this?

which has attracted a lot of attention because the river flows into India

This river flows through Bhutan, Northeastern India, and Bangladesh, and merges with the Ganges.

Three Gorges resulted in 1+ million ppl being resettled

The Yangtze river spans almost entirely in China. China has the logistical capacity to make all of the necessary efforts for environmental impact mitigation and the prevention of the displacement people. This number would be much worse in a different country.

This new dam spans several different countries. I dunno, seems pretty bad on the surface

Dams can have downstream environmental impacts, among them are changes in water flow and water quality from the wild fluctuations in temperature. The river in question is one of the 10 largest in the world and it feeds into an even larger system

This dam has been a topic I’ve heard discussed a few times among people I know and I tend to feel like an idiot for not having a response because this does sound like a pretty big deal.

It could just be scare mongering from rightists I’m hearing. Maybe China has somehow found an appropriate environmental management plan. My OP sounded confrontational but I’m honestly concerned by this and I was hoping someone with more knowledge of the Chinese side of thinking give me some insight.

Edit: I almost forgot, I’m literally in a thread celebrating the destruction of dams by China for good reason.

What exactly do you think I’m asking about here?

A proposed dam literally the size of the entire subcontinent?

Isn’t China going to build the world’s largest hydroelectric dam in Tibet that will displace hundreds of millions of South Asians who depend on the river for clean water?

Yeah, not sure why I’m asking, we’ve seen how Trump’s just done things without permission.

What was the dep of education intending to say, that he had the authority to cancel it? Or that he didn’t?

It’s stretched so far beyond parody at this point but it’ll truly be the canary in the coalmine if this response does absolutely nothing to hurt Ttump and the conservative government.

“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

Lmao alright, nah, there’s no way these chuds actually care about the Epstein controversy

but instead he's alienating his most frothing, loyal, conspiracy brained supporters by just telling them they are all fools and suckers.

What are they going to do, not vote for him? Lmao

sure you'll wiggle out of whatever but when you have Rogan acolytes calling the DSA the only true america first party you might have done fucked up

Really?

I will say, I have plenty of friends who are Rogan heads…the Rogan bloc is amenable to whichever group will court them and the republicans are really huffing their own farts if they think these people are solidly their base.

I could easily see them get radicalized towards more left wing positions

Oh, so you think Israel just wants money and handouts?

Found Hitler, you guys. You’re welcome
