China’s Mega-Dam: Threat to India’s Arunachal Pradesh? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
China is pushing forward with plans to build a massive dam on the Yarlung Tsangpo river in Tibet, near the contested border with India. Touted as the world’s largest hydropower project, this ambitious $137 billion undertaking could triple the power output of the Three Gorges Dam. However, this project raises significant concerns for India, as the river feeds into the Brahmaputra, a lifeline for millions in the northeastern region. Will China’s dam give it leverage over India in times of political conflict? How will this affect the fragile peace following years of border tensions?

Stupid lady, China is not building the largest dam (China may not build a large dam at all). It is the largest hydropower station. Largest hydropower station doesnot equal to largest dam. Plus the water from China is only 15% of the river. Most of the water of the river is generated inside India. Same case applies to the Megon river.
China does not consider India a rival, US is. So for India to say that China is spending $100B just to hurt India is taking itself too seriously. India is not important enough for China to do such things. China is doing this for Chinese people's well being, no more and no less.
BTW, China has ultra-high Voltage DC transmission line that can send the electricity to other areas in China thousands miles away with little loss. So you comment that Tibet does not need this much electricity is not valid.
China burns billions tons of dirty coal for power generation. The pollution is killing lots of people and cause health issues to millions of people. 3000 million KWHs of electricity is exactly what China needs. It will reduce CO2 emission by hundred's millions of tons and improve million's of people's health.
外星人👽也阻止不了中国
Godi media it's Modi randi
Khoti indian ki kia uqat china ko rok sake
China is India's natural nightmare. All the skills of this country are to restrain India.
China have every rights to do it as India also have all the rights in Indian soil. As long as there is a good diplomatic relations between India China, there shouldn't be any problem. If problem arise, it is exceptional case, not only dam, anything can be use!
You are always the world worst hosts, why India did all evil things to the neighbouring n now India are worries about China's dam???
What what can India do to china??
But ya, I forgotten, Indian can always use mouth to be powerful. Hahaha. No wonder India can turn the roti as well as their words, haha
A dictator is needed in india …….. atleast kisi bhi direction main chale chalenge toh sath main sbh
Strategic people in india were assuring that it is not possible to…………….. look . Now
What should India do? Just suck it up you beautiful India lady
已经动工啦帕尔基姐姐
Ha ha. "New way to provoke India". Ha ha. Journalism is in the pits. A bit of research will show you these are all old and know plans by all parties. Engineers, especially civil engineers, surveyors, scientists don't take their cameras and run out and "get work done" because their masters called them overnight. It is a bit hard for today's media to understand who do not have the word "deep research" in their vocabulary. These dam news are all old. We all know whey they are suddenly important for the media.
listen indians . china will never waste a big money for your country . we never think about it. and u can not understand china government's long term vision . because other country never had .
TIBET is not India ,you never had it.
Double standards Palki thats what you doing with Pakistan
As you sow so shall you reap
Why provocation? Isn’t it the mighty India can stop Indus river flow?
No dam in siang belt of Arunachal Pradesh , Indian government wants to finish the indigenous tribes of Arunachal.
South Asians will forever under the shoe of CHINA
2.BECAUSE SOUTH ASIANS BY NATURE ARE VERY WEAK IN EVERY AREAS AND CANT STAND FIRM ON THEIR ON TWO FEET.
3.THE BELIEVERS ARE LEANING TO CHINA BECAUSE THEY ARE WEAK AND WORTHLESS.
4.LOOK AT PAKISTAN AND BANGLADESH WHAT ARE THEY GOOD FOR.
4.THEY STILL RUN TO INFERDILS FOR HELP.
5.FOR INDIA ,THEY SHOW THEY ARE VERY GENEROUS AND COMPASSION AND THAT'S WHY PAY A VERY HAPPY PRICE.
Apply the same worries and agony to the dams already built and planned to be built by India on Rivers Chenab, Jhelum and Indus
What’s up with this Bollywood actress doesn’t she know India is doing the same thing to Pakistan so what’s the issue?
🇮🇳 ❤️ 🐄 💩
Why we recognise Taiwan and hongkong if they aren't recognising Arunachal
Hi Balki , U R BAD – MOUTHING CHINA …WHAT ABOUT India doing to BANGLADESH ? ? A L L OF INDIA’ s NEIGHBOURS R STAYING AS FAR AWAY from India . . INDIA IS THE DEMON 👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹
If china building a dam in their land india could concentrate on mitigating the dams effect on indian land rather than blaming china 😂. If all the illegal money hiding in the Swiss bank accounts of indian politicians released to india government india can afford even bigger dam than china builds 😂😂. The largest corrupt country in the world is india.
Brahma is our belief…
Worrying China might use the inhumane tactic or a war crime to punish India :-
China builds dam to generate power which might benefit the neighboring countries beside Tibet and to prevent malicious agenda of certain belligerent nation. As regard of power, aint China the world factory, the top two matket and population size.
India just did it again after the recent OP Sindoor as expected. Hwreby, confirming India failed to gain an upper hand against Pakistan's Air Defence Superiority but lost costly in agony.
Zangnan belongs to China
no more tea for u endian😂
We should start dam construction now at the same time
Now you are doing it ? 😅
Tibet should become independent, then I would approve of south Tibet, until then it's just CCP propaganda
We arunachal Pradesh people are belong from south Tibet please china 🇨🇳 take your South Tibet and we arunachal people are same looks as u people of china and Tibet ❤❤ 😢
Arunachal Pradesh (pasighat smart City)❤ please 🙏 come to travel
We don't want this dam, because we'll suffer from flood or draft.
I forgot where I read about it. But there were statements that china plan to sell electricity to nearby country of the dam. Example, Nepal and. Bangladesh.
I guess India has no other option but to negotiate in this case, our way is to get safe and a good place amongst people around the world that is how we might get good backup and stronger.. Lets attract Chinese, Japanese, Russians, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Srilankans, Europeans, Americans etc we will get our way through this. Keep clean and make India beautiful
😂
The Chinese are using the damned as a weapon against India.
If India doesn’t do something quick, it’s absolutely doomed.
Water already dry up 24/01/25.. if you need photo, I can send you.. chongkham, Namsai district. Arunachal Pradesh
why you always complain??? If there is war, you just bom that Dam which is cost China US$137 Bilion. When India Build Dam. India never Complain it selft.
From Arunachal Pradesh we didn't want a dam….
Accidents happen
Earthquakes happen
People don't live forever
As a Chinese, the comments of this clip is sooooo entertaining😊😊😊😊
There is too much water in brahmaputra River in India. The river surface is 52 kilometers long and you can't see the other side at a glance. The water from Tibet only accounts for 30% of the entire river. The other 70% comes from 32 rivers in India. July to September every year is the flood season, causing major floods. In 1998, the flood season of the Tibetan and Indian rivers broke out at the same time, leaving 30 million people in Bangladesh homeless. The flood destroyed roads, bridges, villages and fields. China diverted the water from the Tibetan rivers into the desert in Xinjiang, which is equivalent to helping India and Bangladesh eliminate floods. The US agents strongly encouraged the Indians to oppose China's dam construction. Anyway, the US opposes everything Chinese have, whether it is good or bad.
do u know sometimes i get dreams of this lady saying china china china
😂 poor india. Bangladesh isn't crying.
