What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

China is constructing the world's largest hydropower installation in Tibet's Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, a $167 billion project with 70 gigawatts of capacity. In response, India proposed an 11,000-megawatt dam on the Siang River in Arunachal Pradesh. This Indian project, intended to secure water rights, is currently stalled due to opposition from local indigenous tribes.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The Chinese projects in Tibet give Beijing substantial control over transboundary water flows, creating risks of flow disruption and catastrophic artificial floods for downstream India. India views the utilization of Arunachal Pradesh's hydropower potential as a means to generate greater revenue and accelerate development.
