Seriously why are you doing propaganda? Usually you do great research on your videos. And you clearly did not do credible research. This was seriously disappointing to hear and watch. I lost a shit ton of respect for you.
I just like to put things into perspective. India has ALSO built plenty of dams disregarding the complaints from Bangladesh. And as far as I know, India is STILL planning to build more, again disregarding the complaints from Bangladesh. (And the irony is India is building on the exact same river that China is going to build on!)

Agree, India has a huge China complex, always casting a jealous eye on its illustrious near neighbor; seeing everything as a threat, lying to show that it is superior. China, on the other hand, don't care about India one bit.
The dam is not a traditional dam barrier plant, but rather a run-of-the-river type system involving subterranean boring from high upstream to downstream. This reduces potential for flooding and water restriction. Also, India is hypocritical on this issue as it also built dams affecting water flow downstream to Bangledesh. Most news articles lack detail or nuance on the project, choosing to focus on geopolitical issues to incite emotion.
Only issue with this specific dam is it is right across the border and can be used as ecological weapon. This is besides the point it is on a geologically earthquake prone area which in case of a natural disaster will wipe out places downstream.
@@KT-fv8it If it's a run-of-the-river system it wouldn't store enough water to be wielded as a ecological weapon. You are just paronoid because this is what india does to Bangladesh.
Most of the water (80%) in the Indian Brahmaputra actual is from rainfall on the south side of the Himalayas which is within India and Bangladesh. Water in the Yarlung Zangbo is mainly from snow melt from the Tibetan plateau and contributes a small fraction of the water on the Indian side of the border. As far as the dam is concerned it will be a run of the river power facility with no dam or a small dam which will not affect downstream water flow. India and Bangladesh are being paranoid. Power transmission will be by HVDC which is greatly superior to HVAC transmission but technically more complicated.
A more important point is that this is a water diversion project. Water being diverted to the North and West for farming and human consumption. Using the water to bomb India downstream which may be just an overplay by India will put a larger population of China at risk. Whenever I read West media play like " we are afraid " or "may be used " I would place those as CIA talking points. Much like Israeli being the victims and Hamas the terrorists. That is leveraging on their control of media and the narrative of the days.
@@teatree6228I don't think the dams will store enough water to affect the seasonal floods. They are just too small. No luck for Bangladesh here, but the Indian dams could do a lot more to control Bangladesh floods.
I recently spent 2 days at the 3 Gorges Dam in Yichang China, it is absolutely amazing and massive, it has 32 700mw turbine generators and 2 80mw turbine generators, it is so long,it's massive
If the Western propaganda media and it's copycat Indian fake news media like Phulki Sharma's channel are to be believed the Three Gorges Dam has already collapsed multiple times.
Do you the original turbo compressor/generators parts were made by my company here in the US. I met with Chinese rep. back in 1997 when they visit and our company we had to move to ISO9000 manufacture processing.
? You propagate misunderstanding - buliding a hydropower plant doesn't change amount of water which is flowing - it just takes kinetic energy from the water. It doesn't make water to disappear. We don't know if water will be somehow redirected to flow into another region. If not amount of water will be the same.
It's very difficult close to impossible at the region to divert water across the Himalaya range from south side of 2000 altitude flip over 5000m to the north side of 4000 altitude
Not a dam. The plan is boring a tunnel through the mountain at the great bend. So water flowing through the tunnel can drive the hydro turbines directly and in stages along the tunnel. At the end of tunnel, it connects back to the river.
I am not against the huge dam/tunnel. But diverting water from its natural path and changing the course of the river may have long term consequences which humans do not know now.
@@eugenec7130 That's the argument put up by the West after they had industrialized and advanced more than a century ago. Now that the less developed countries are doing the same, they scare monger about environmental impact and unknown consequences.
@ imagine the river flowing west to east, goes up north and bends back south. At where it bends, there is a huge mountain and actually that’s why the river flows north. Now right where it flows north, you dig a tunnel through the mountain to the direction of south east, on the east end of the tunnel, it will meet the river again. So instead of all the water flowing in the valley, part of it flows through the tunnel now. This diverted water flowing, rejoins the river. With this knowledge in mind, would you agree it has no effect to the total water flow? And only has minimal effect on river? Now inside the tunnel, hydro turbines will be installed to produce electricity. This is the best design for a hydropower plant we have ever seen!
If China wanted to do nefarious things with the water upstream, it can do it without spending $130 billion, and as many other comments have explain, damming a river is not necessarily a bad thing. It has many benefits even for downstream. Everyone should cooperate to ensure maximum benefits for all countries, and stop making hyperbolic claims for geopolitical gains. Have we forgotten all of the nauseating negative propaganda spewed about the three gorges dam many years ago?
India is unwilling to cooperate with its neighboring countries, and it can be said that there have been no successful cases of cooperation between India and its neighbors. It is foolish to talk about cooperation with India
@@古德雍飛 please , china is in no condition to talk about relationship with neighbouring countries, you are the reason why south east asian countries and even japan has started modernising their military and let's not forget about tibet and Taiwan. Disgusting.
@@古德雍飛actually what ever india and many other are accusing or saying about china is exactly what they have being doing to it’s neighbor. India build dam and use that to flood its neighbors and use that as political…. Each year many people suffer because of India corruption dam build around in neighbor land but now out of sudden they are panicking when more bigger boss is enter the arena
Lmao is that why the chinese pre modern architecture sucked so much lmao, is that why indic civilization had a greater expence than CHUUnese one? Is that why tibet uses an indic derived script? Ducking CCP bots...
China's history can be summed up as ethnic warlords ruling over provinces and fighting other neighboring ethnic warlords to expand their influence. It was so weak it was occasionally invaded and conquered by others like the Mongols, Japanese, British and French. You get a few hundred miles in from the eastern coastline and most of China is still 'dirt poor'.
The Yarlung Tsangpo River (Brahmaputra River) has an annual flow of 160 billion cubic meters at the Sino-Indian Line of Actual Control. However, as it crosses the Himalayas into the downstream plains, its runoff exceeds 600 billion cubic meters. This suggests that the hydropower station has minimal impact on the water flow to downstream India. However, the media heavily focuses on this project, mainly due to its connection with China. Meanwhile, India’s hydropower projects, which have a significant impact on Pakistan and Bangladesh, receive little attention.
If you do your research, this dam only affects 20% of water flow that passes through India, that’s if they decide to close the dam off, 80% of water comes from within India, mainly from their extreme rain drops during monsoon season.
That's right, 80% comes during the monsoon season, but what about the rest of the year when the river will be fed by snowmelt water and that water is needed by the Indian and Bangladesh people downstream.
This project is using a really new concept. It won't be the usual big high megadam with a big long lake on the river. Too much costly on that river. It will be a series of stair cased derivation tunnels with a small dam on each step. This way the water flow taken upstream will join the river at the bottom with minimal ecological impacts to the river ecosystem. Also with minimal impacts on the river flow entering India. The Indian propaganda never expected that solution so they keep repeating the same arguments they made when the project was first announced. China is now the world's master of tunneling technology and they have found a new innovative application for it.
This project is indeed one of the greatest feat of engineering ever and instead of this lashing out at China, India should send it's incompetent officers and engineers to learn from China how to build such mega projects with topnotch quality.
I think there's a lot of misinformation in the public. China already consulted India on the project from several years back. What actually happened is that Indian technocrats raised two issues. The first is that a diversion-type hydropower plant amplifies the volumetric flow rate of the water to maximize its kinetic energy by shortcutting the path of the water. That actually means that a diversion-type plant by default increases the energy and amount of water flowing downstream each second when that water isn't being used to turn turbines. This is where the flooding risk actually comes from. The Indian technocrats wanted technical assurance from China that the turbine bypass terminates in a properly-designed energy dissipation structure that could return the water to original run-of-river condition. The second issue is that they don't think a diversion-type plant can generate the amount of power China is boasting about, so they suspect that China is really intending to build a dam instead of a diversion cascade. They want technical assurance from China that a diversion-type plant can indeed achieve what the Chinese claim. Somewhere along the way, the media picked up on these very technical discussions and the story turned into "China's megadam is a major flood risk for India!!!"
China all about employing new techiques and breaking engineering feats and records... tbh the only massive nation that probably requires and has the resources to move heaven and earth
@@FrancoisEustache-ed6gd Not a new concept! PROVEN concept used in California’s Central Sierra Nevada by PG&E and Southern California Edison since the 1970s. It has proven to be perhaps the best method ever conceived for producing electricity with minimal effect on the environment, safely and extreme efficiency.

China has the legitimate right to use the water for its national survival because the water fall within its territory. India has no say on how China going to use its own water. India has its own water catchment area on the Brahmaputra river and most of the rainfalls are.
This is not real risk for any sides... Someone from west is making this difficult for China to share power to India and China... With this project both sides can benefit, and water will still be the same for India... They need to make research where all water is coming down the stream... I'm sure there is no issue with the build...
Engineering has a wide number of different branches and one cannot step across into each branch easily. For example, Civil Engineering is different from Electronics Engineering which is different from Materials Engineering which different from Aeronautical Engineering which is different from Geological Engineering which is different to Hydrostatics Engineering and so on. Using sweeping statements as "China has so many engineers" can be deceiving. If China needs say, Building Engineers and there is a instead an over supply of Forestry Engineers, they are not going to get far. Right? Be more accurate and precise.
Once the reservoir is full, the water still needs to go downstream. So unless the Chinese redirect the outflow away from India, the water still gets there.

@@elephantintheroom5678 wut? Are you an American? Tibetans are Chinese, they have been Chinese long before the Europeans arrived in the New World. The official religion of the Qing Dynasty was Tibetan Buddhism even. The Mongols were a favored people during the Qing Dynasty, always intermarried with the ruling Manchu.... There's Tibetan, Mongol and Uighur script all over imperial buildings in China.
Is about geopolitics India doesn't want Tibet to develop, this dam will help Tibet develop and influence Bhutan on succession and it will sell electric to Bangladesh there for will aid Bangladesh for development, this will cause security concerns for India for not being able to suppress their little brother.
Sooner or later Bhutan will also recognise China and establish diplomatic relationships with China and new embassies will be opened in Beijing and Thimphu.
Hydroelectric power plants use the potential energy carried by water but do not consume the water itself. There will be no reduction in water supplies to areas downstream along the river. In fact, if countries communicate well and operations of the plant are well managed, floods and droughts in the countries involved will be improved or even eliminated.

Wow. 300 million homes. Amazing. Twice the number of households that are in the US. How cool would that be? Well there's only one way to find out. I hope it happens. The world needs every bit of help we can give it.
Your choice of articles such as Rand, Carnage. Also Indians heavily. Does NOT give credibility to your analysis. The US Rand and Carnage are especially bad choices. Most of this was very negative and heavily on the Indian side of things. I am deeply disappointed by this video.
Nice work expanding the scope of your videos, Sam. You can share a lot of useful information related to electrification and renewables, which you have already done and I encourage you to continue. 🎉😊
china always have long term planning, i think in future if they have that much electricity in that area they can open data center in there because with low temperature it can save power from heat
If you know rainfall and river flow. A reservoir can only store water temporarily, the rest of water will continue to flow down stream. It does not mean once the dam is built, no water will flow down stream. If anything, the dam can control potential flood downstream. Think about that.
@ refute me then instead of pointing my supposed "grammar " mistake. I can literally google just now and it shows the grid capacity of the USA is a little over 40000 TWh. That's one of the reason why the USA doesn't wanna adopt EVs.
😂😂😂 Just look at the bright side. Once the dam is built, it will mean the end of all the devastating floods that kill thousands and thousands of innocent people in India and Bangladesh.
No it won’t. It is a run of the river type hydro power. It will not create a huge lake. Instead it will use tunnels through mountains with underground power plants. I live in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. The same concept is used here, and all the rain &snowmelt water goes downstream. No huge lakes to evaporate water. India will get the same amount of water at normal times. China will just use the huge drop in elevation of the Himalayas to generate electrify. The huge dam and lake in the video is the Three Gorges project which is not near the new project.
If India wants to discuss its concerns with China, maybe they shouldn't adopt the policy of no business as usual with China until the border issue is settled. By the way, China had long ago (Zhou Enlai) suggested an exchange of claims. But India thought that it could have the cake and eat it because China was weak, they refused. China had border wars with the Soviet and Vietnam, and yet it has settled border issues with them. But India is a superpower, hence China must abide by India's wishes. After the dam is built, perhaps India will want to talk, resentment notwithstanding.
😂😂😂😂 India has great delusions that it is rightful heir to the mighty British empire, at least in this part of the world. Even us Indians receive the similar treatment from our suppapawa state.
All these issues stem from an economy grappling with uncertainties, including housing problems,foreclosures, global fluctuations, and the aftermath of the pandemic, leading to instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions demand urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.
In retirement, safeguarding your wealth against inflation is essential. Consider options like TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities), commodities, or foreign currencies to hedge against a weakening dollar. Diversifying your portfolio with global real estate, international bonds, or high-quality foreign stocks can provide additional protection and growth opportunities in an inflationary environment.

The seismic risks sound severe. Especially if you take into account China's track record regarding stability/build quality of their megaprojects. Other than that I am a fan of hydro power. Its a good solution built on refined and known technologies.
On China's side of border it is call Yarlung Zangbo River and on Indian side it becomes Brahmaputra River . What Indian isn't saying it that India has built ten dams and counting on the Brahmaputra River, including hydroelectric dams and dams for drinking water. Dams on the Brahmaputra River in India Ranganadi Dam: A hydroelectric dam Rangit III Dam: A hydroelectric dam that also provides drinking water Rangpo Dam: A hydroelectric dam Rongli Dam: A hydroelectric dam Other dams on the Brahmaputra River Zangmu Dam Subansiri Lower Dam Pangduo Hydro Power Station Zhikong Hydro Power Station Yamdrok Hydro Power Station Jiacha Hydro Power Station
Only issue with this specific dam is it is right across the border and can be used as ecological weapon. This is besides the point it is on a geologically earthquake prone area which in case of a natural disaster will wipe out places downstream.
@@fatdoi003 Not if someone constructs dam in a non earthquake prone zone. Himalayas were formed when Indian sub continent pushed into Asian continent creating a highly stressed fault line. Constructing a dam close to fault line is not a great idea. This is lot different from three gorges dam.

With it's engineering prowess and ability to finance such a transformative project, China will transform its power generation, potentially export some of it and reach a milestone in terms of reading its renewable energy aims.
This new hydro plant it's not one big battery as it does not store electrical energy like a battery. Water rushes through and would not be in China's interest to stop the flow otherwise it will cause flooding on its side. Therefore I do not see China wanting to stop slows down to India it is not in their own interests and their own thinking. Remember the mant mutual respect and peaceful coexistence
I'll be visiting this area in a couple of months. It'll be interesting to see before it changes. It appears the environmental impact could be huge, but I will reserve judgement until I'm better informed.
Not only is India inciting Tibetan separatism. India is also surreptitiously building up a separatist Tibetan army against China. China has every reason to deal with India as an enemy. Yet with a pretentious aggrieved look, we self-righteously ask why China should be so hostile against India!
If the water isn't being used for, say, agriculture or household consumption I don't understand what the problem is. With such high waterfalls I don't think fish migrate upstream either. If the water just powers turbines and then goes back in the river what's wrong with that apart from having to fill the dam up in the first place? I suppose China could stop India's water for a limited period until the dam's capacity is exhausted but what then? They can't hold a river up forever can they? I hasten to add that I know nothing whatever about the subject, I'm just applying my form of logic to the situation.
I understood this not to be an actual dam. I thought this was a diversion of part of the river into a very large tunnel that runs at quite a drop in elevation with turbines built at the end of the drop dumping the water back into the river at the bottom of the tunnel. A never ending flow of water without a threat downstream. I saw a documentary on this months ago. This does not fit what I've seen on this project. Looks like you missed it on this one. I'm reading many others saw it the same as I did.
Regarding power movement, China doesn't have to use the Tsangpo Dam to power the vast populations in the Central Plains. Rather, there's over 120 million people living in Sichuan (inc. Chongqing), which is right next to Tibet, and this dam can supply the Sichuan basin. China's other energy infrastructure can thus be freed up to go towards the other major urban centers.
Check the geography, there are at least two big tributaries into this river on the indian side of the border. Generally a dam can have positive effect in regulating the water flow, like the 3gorges dam has made the annual catastropic floods in the lower Yangtze a thing of the past. The angst is the smoldering mistrusts, like that between europe and russia
Mistrust? Yeh that was decades ago,, bruh? Today's geopolitics between them is amicable and lightening? Don't dwell on negativity only? Be real, and studying the good, bad and any ugly ness?
No Water is going to be taken away. The water is diverted and under gravity, it pushes the turbine that generate electricity. That is all there is. If you are concern about Dams, check out how many Dams India built on that river down stream - yet NO ONE has ever claimed India will make the water disappear or deprive Bangladesh of the water (Bangladesh is further downstream). By the way, India is the ONLY country in the past to have prevented river water reaching Pakistan.
In history, whoever occupied the upstream of a river controlled the whole river. India is probably not as lucky as China who owns the upstream of the said river. It also becomes a problem when the country which owns the upstream has the capability to build such a huge dam. India must be regretting that its neighbor is not the United States or EU which is unable to build huge dams.
This large dam projects will provide power for many Tibetan Himalayan cities and villages ! Let hope it doesn't interfere with Wildlife ! Hopefully no devastating earthquake damaging this mega dam ?😯
This dam is far away from Chinese towns and city but nearer to India and Bangladesh town. This dam creates so much power, China could sell so of it to its neighbours. Which is a win win
Pretty sure once the dams full they’ll release the water to generate electricity and the water flow will be the same once the dam is full. Like filling a giant bath once it’s full the water will flow just as it would before. Basic physics, unless the water is diverted? It has to go somewhere it’s not just gonna evaporate at that altitude it’s cold.. idk 🤷🏼♂️
India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh cannot just sit idly by; this is a mammoth and serious matter. Two billion people's livelihoods depend on this water source. The proper way to address this is for all sides to sit down and discuss the issue. China does indeed have the upper hand, as it controls the source of the water within its boundaries.
What's more concerning than earthquakes in the region it that the region is prone to huge landslides which could swamp the dam as happened at Italy's Vajont Dam
The Grand Inga Dam would be the only other hydropower facility that could match the great bend in the Himalayas . Situated at Inga Falls on the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of Congo it could have a capacity of 40-70 GW. These two locations have the greatest potential on earth.
I don't think this will affect India . If China stops the flow, they will also stop producing electricity . And they won't be able to stop the flow for a long period , that thing would burst if it overflows.
Hydro power reduces water flow for a period of five years or so. Then annual flows recover total volumes if not seasonally. Only if they water harvest and send water to other river catchments such as the Mekong will water be lost to India after the initial damning. Sounds like that after the initial dam, they will create more dams upstream.
India has had always harbored expansionist ambitions to expand into Tibet. Unfortunately, a powerful China stands in our way. From our eyes only, we now think the Dalai Lama has turned rogue because we had thought we could use him perpetually as a trump card to challenge China. But now that he openly declares Tibet is part of China, we cannot use him anymore. What is worse, now all these Tibetan lands we control in Arunachal Pradesh, Ladakh, Sikkim etc. immediately become a big question mark, overdue for their logical return to China!
Actually that's just the Dalai Lama that China/the CCP has approved. The exiled Tibetans in Nepal and China chose their own successor which China does not recognize.
Easy Solution. India stopped acting like their Anglo Saxon Masters, ie the US & EU and act with due respect to China. Work together with China to prosper and don't be a triple headed snake in the process.
I learnt today that the Chinese name for the river the Indians call the Brahmaputra is "Yarlung Zangbo". So the Chinese are NOT building a dam on the Brahmaputra at all. They are building a dam on the Yarlung Zangbo.
In the spirit of freedom and democracy, India should remove repressive anti-secession laws so that people across the subcontinent can discuss like mature adults and allow different ethnicities and states to reclaim their independence and nationhood.

In England, water companies can dump human waste into the rivers. Fortunately, water companies in China do not. Imagine the stench in the Mekong River, Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers from raw human waste.
This 60,000 MW project means up to 525 TWh per year (depending upon utilisation factor) . It's enough to recharge 130 millions of EV running 20,000 km/y (with 20 kWh/100 km) !!!
Whatever China does things within its territories, it is none of the business of any other countries to comment, meddle or care. This great principle of of mutual respect & co-existence is so simple! 😊
This is not Bollywood entertainment where fantasies and untruths can crowd out the reality on the ground. Hence a public Board of Inquiry must be openly held in India.

can you imagine, before the last ice age , prehistoric humans, were also advance and also built Dams to hold water back. Till Ice age happen and all those water were frozen and the rest is history.
India exists today only because of British India. It is not a natural nation. Natural nations can revert to names that attest to their own authentic origins. So Sri Lanka supplants Ceylon, Myanmar is the proud name in place of Burma. Even Bangladesh flag flies gloriously over what was East Pakistan. But India? Without father England who ran away exhausted by WW2, there's no India an illegitimate empire put together by England with lands stolen from various peoples. There is simply no legitimate name to fall back on. And we avariciously cling to borders and territories stolen by England as our own.

Surely this would provide power to more than 20% of China’s population? If each household averages 3, then 300m households would provide electricity to circa 900m people, which would be closer to 75%?
I do wish people stick to the proper units. A "home" of electricity isn't a proper unit and even worse there is absolutely no definition of what it means.
India has this dam anxiety because for decades it relish bragging about firing missiles at China's 3-Gorges dam in case of a future conflict. Karma bring this fear right back to India ... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You need to brush up on basic math. Here in Florida the average household uses 15,000 kilowatt hours per year. That means that 300 billion KWH would supply 20 million households, not 300 million.

They will bend over backward to get along with their neighbors. Just fyi, China has peacefully resolved all its territorial disputes with all its neighbors, of which there are many, over the years. The only exceptions are India and Japan. With India, there are 2 disputed areas, of roughly the same size. The dispute is essentially a legacy of the British empire, which arbitrarily drew up borders in that part of the territory, simply because it could. These arbitrary borders were not recognized by China. Back in the 50s or 60s, China proposed the simple concept of going 50-50, India gets one of the disputed areas and China the other. Get it over and done with. That was rejected by India. I will say this: there is nothing but hysterics in the Indian media when it comes to anything China. Everything from China is examined under a microscope with suspicion and mistrust. For the most part, China just carries on with its business ignoring all the noise and nonsense. China will simply wait until India is ready to work together productively. There is not much else it can do.
Tibet had been a part of China's indigenous evolution as a nation for more than a thousand years - long before the Mughals ruled much of the subcontinent, and long before Father England gave birth to India. I may not wish to speak for others like the Kashmir people or the Sikhs or the Mongoloids in the north. But Tamil Nadu certainly deserves our own nationhood. We had been a sovereign nation for thousands of years with our own dravidian language and history before British colonial rulers came to upend the natural order. When we eventually achieve independence, we will within 10 years rank within the league of successful East Asian nations like Korea, Japan or China.
My understanding is they are drilling a shortcut shaft in the round about mountain, so less of a dam, and more about of using the big natural drop this river does there.
"Run of the River" project. Can't be used to flood India. India's just projecting what it has already done to Bangladesh. Aggressive nations always project their own psychopathy onto the other. Look at the West.
Based on available facts, it does seem to me actions that started from our side led to the tragedy. I hope I am wrong. This is why it's important to have a formal Board of Inquiry to ascertain the facts and evidence. We must collectively push the government to conduct an open Board of Inquiry.
You failed to mention that India has also damnd rivers running into Pakistan. This has led to drought conditions as well as flooding in Pakistan so basically India is getting a taste of its own medicine it's done this to other countries and now it's being done to India

I just like to put things into perspective.
India has ALSO built plenty of dams disregarding the complaints from Bangladesh.
And as far as I know, India is STILL planning to build more, again disregarding the complaints from Bangladesh.
(And the irony is India is building on the exact same river that China is going to build on!)

Agree, India has a huge China complex, always casting a jealous eye on its illustrious near neighbor; seeing everything as a threat, lying to show that it is superior.
China, on the other hand, don't care about India one bit.
The dam is not a traditional dam barrier plant, but rather a run-of-the-river type system involving subterranean boring from high upstream to downstream. This reduces potential for flooding and water restriction.
Also, India is hypocritical on this issue as it also built dams affecting water flow downstream to Bangledesh.
Most news articles lack detail or nuance on the project, choosing to focus on geopolitical issues to incite emotion.
Only issue with this specific dam is it is right across the border and can be used as ecological weapon. This is besides the point it is on a geologically earthquake prone area which in case of a natural disaster will wipe out places downstream.
@@KT-fv8it If it's a run-of-the-river system it wouldn't store enough water to be wielded as a ecological weapon. You are just paronoid because this is what india does to Bangladesh.
@@KT-fv8itHOW, when it is your untraditional damn. Look it up for yourself.
@@KT-fv8itstupid Chinese throwing money away, must have a huge surplus or something 😂😂😂
Exactly 🎉
Most of the water (80%) in the Indian Brahmaputra actual is from rainfall on the south side of the Himalayas which is within India and Bangladesh. Water in the Yarlung Zangbo is mainly from snow melt from the Tibetan plateau and contributes a small fraction of the water on the Indian side of the border. As far as the dam is concerned it will be a run of the river power facility with no dam or a small dam which will not affect downstream water flow. India and Bangladesh are being paranoid. Power transmission will be by HVDC which is greatly superior to HVAC transmission but technically more complicated.
Bangladesh is hsppy about it
A more important point is that this is a water diversion project. Water being diverted to the North and West for farming and human consumption.
Using the water to bomb India downstream which may be just an overplay by India will put a larger population of China at risk.
Whenever I read West media play like " we are afraid " or "may be used " I would place those as CIA talking points. Much like Israeli being the victims and Hamas the terrorists. That is leveraging on their control of media and the narrative of the days.
@@teatree6228I don't think the dams will store enough water to affect the seasonal floods. They are just too small. No luck for Bangladesh here, but the Indian dams could do a lot more to control Bangladesh floods.

Do you the original turbo compressor/generators parts were made by my company here in the US. I met with Chinese rep. back in 1997 when they visit and our company we had to move to ISO9000 manufacture processing.
In the meantime, India is building a dam on the same river right after it enters its territory. So what is the complaint?
so india can complain that they did it first but a smaller one XD
They are complaining because china is faster 😂
? You propagate misunderstanding - buliding a hydropower plant doesn't change amount of water which is flowing - it just takes kinetic energy from the water. It doesn't make water to disappear. We don't know if water will be somehow redirected to flow into another region. If not amount of water will be the same.
It's very difficult close to impossible at the region to divert water across the Himalaya range from south side of 2000 altitude flip over 5000m to the north side of 4000 altitude

Not a dam. The plan is boring a tunnel through the mountain at the great bend. So water flowing through the tunnel can drive the hydro turbines directly and in stages along the tunnel. At the end of tunnel, it connects back to the river.
I am not against the huge dam/tunnel. But diverting water from its natural path and changing the course of the river may have long term consequences which humans do not know now.
@@eugenec7130 No. We do this all the time. Diversion-type hydropower is the recommended way to do things now.

@@andrewsuryali8540 Interesting! 👍
@ imagine the river flowing west to east, goes up north and bends back south. At where it bends, there is a huge mountain and actually that’s why the river flows north. Now right where it flows north, you dig a tunnel through the mountain to the direction of south east, on the east end of the tunnel, it will meet the river again. So instead of all the water flowing in the valley, part of it flows through the tunnel now. This diverted water flowing, rejoins the river. With this knowledge in mind, would you agree it has no effect to the total water flow? And only has minimal effect on river? Now inside the tunnel, hydro turbines will be installed to produce electricity. This is the best design for a hydropower plant we have ever seen!
If China wanted to do nefarious things with the water upstream, it can do it without spending $130 billion, and as many other comments have explain, damming a river is not necessarily a bad thing. It has many benefits even for downstream. Everyone should cooperate to ensure maximum benefits for all countries, and stop making hyperbolic claims for geopolitical gains. Have we forgotten all of the nauseating negative propaganda spewed about the three gorges dam many years ago?
If anyone is going to war with China it will be India. Wow...
India is unwilling to cooperate with its neighboring countries, and it can be said that there have been no successful cases of cooperation between India and its neighbors. It is foolish to talk about cooperation with India

It was so weak it was occasionally invaded and conquered by others like the Mongols, Japanese, British and French.

The Yarlung Tsangpo River (Brahmaputra River) has an annual flow of 160 billion cubic meters at the Sino-Indian Line of Actual Control. However, as it crosses the Himalayas into the downstream plains, its runoff exceeds 600 billion cubic meters.
This suggests that the hydropower station has minimal impact on the water flow to downstream India.
However, the media heavily focuses on this project, mainly due to its connection with China.
Meanwhile, India’s hydropower projects, which have a significant impact on Pakistan and Bangladesh, receive little attention.
Just show how uninformed is the media, or it is intended to split Sino-Indo relations
If you do your research, this dam only affects 20% of water flow that passes through India, that’s if they decide to close the dam off, 80% of water comes from within India, mainly from their extreme rain drops during monsoon season.
That's right, 80% comes during the monsoon season, but what about the rest of the year when the river will be fed by snowmelt water and that water is needed by the Indian and Bangladesh people downstream.
@ Will no one it’s stoping India and Bangladesh building dams and water storage sites to store up water for less rainy seasons.
This project is using a really new concept. It won't be the usual big high megadam with a big long lake on the river. Too much costly on that river. It will be a series of stair cased derivation tunnels with a small dam on each step. This way the water flow taken upstream will join the river at the bottom with minimal ecological impacts to the river ecosystem. Also with minimal impacts on the river flow entering India. The Indian propaganda never expected that solution so they keep repeating the same arguments they made when the project was first announced. China is now the world's master of tunneling technology and they have found a new innovative application for it.
This project is indeed one of the greatest feat of engineering ever and instead of this lashing out at China, India should send it's incompetent officers and engineers to learn from China how to build such mega projects with topnotch quality.
I think there's a lot of misinformation in the public. China already consulted India on the project from several years back. What actually happened is that Indian technocrats raised two issues.
The first is that a diversion-type hydropower plant amplifies the volumetric flow rate of the water to maximize its kinetic energy by shortcutting the path of the water. That actually means that a diversion-type plant by default increases the energy and amount of water flowing downstream each second when that water isn't being used to turn turbines. This is where the flooding risk actually comes from. The Indian technocrats wanted technical assurance from China that the turbine bypass terminates in a properly-designed energy dissipation structure that could return the water to original run-of-river condition.
The second issue is that they don't think a diversion-type plant can generate the amount of power China is boasting about, so they suspect that China is really intending to build a dam instead of a diversion cascade. They want technical assurance from China that a diversion-type plant can indeed achieve what the Chinese claim.
Somewhere along the way, the media picked up on these very technical discussions and the story turned into "China's megadam is a major flood risk for India!!!"
China all about employing new techiques and breaking engineering feats and records... tbh the only massive nation that probably requires and has the resources to move heaven and earth
@@FrancoisEustache-ed6gd Not a new concept! PROVEN concept used in California’s Central Sierra Nevada by PG&E and Southern California Edison since the 1970s.

Agreed
Just because of jealousy for India.
If 80% of water are already within India's border, not in China, why you still need to be concerned, what is the logic？
China has the legitimate right to use the water for its national survival because the water fall within its territory. India has no say on how China going to use its own water. India has its own water catchment area on the Brahmaputra river and most of the rainfalls are.
yeah but anything china related the chinese must consult with modi first before... i guess china didnt get modis memo
India didn't inquire her neighboring countries before building their dams !

Be more accurate and precise.
Once the reservoir is full, the water still needs to go downstream. So unless the Chinese redirect the outflow away from India, the water still gets there.
Should redirect the excess water to Bangladesh and Pakistan.

build it.
Is about geopolitics India doesn't want Tibet to develop, this dam will help Tibet develop and influence Bhutan on succession and it will sell electric to Bangladesh there for will aid Bangladesh for development, this will cause security concerns for India for not being able to suppress their little brother.
Sooner or later Bhutan will also recognise China and establish diplomatic relationships with China and new embassies will be opened in Beijing and Thimphu.
Hydroelectric power plants use the potential energy carried by water but do not consume the water itself. There will be no reduction in water supplies to areas downstream along the river. In fact, if countries communicate well and operations of the plant are well managed, floods and droughts in the countries involved will be improved or even eliminated.
Good point...thanks
during initial period, the dam will block off the water for sometime to fill up the dam.... then the outflow of water will be the same as before

If you know rainfall and river flow. A reservoir can only store water temporarily, the rest of water will continue to flow down stream. It does not mean once the dam is built, no water will flow down stream. If anything, the dam can control potential flood downstream. Think about that.

😂😂😂 Just look at the bright side. Once the dam is built, it will mean the end of all the devastating floods that kill thousands and thousands of innocent people in India and Bangladesh.
No it won’t. It is a run of the river type hydro power. It will not create a huge lake. Instead it will use tunnels through mountains with underground power plants. I live in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. The same concept is used here, and all the rain &snowmelt water goes downstream. No huge lakes to evaporate water. India will get the same amount of water at normal times. China will just use the huge drop in elevation of the Himalayas to generate electrify. The huge dam and lake in the video is the Three Gorges project which is not near the new project.
It is not a "Bright side". India depend on that for population control.
If India wants to discuss its concerns with China, maybe they shouldn't adopt the policy of no business as usual with China until the border issue is settled. By the way, China had long ago (Zhou Enlai) suggested an exchange of claims. But India thought that it could have the cake and eat it because China was weak, they refused. China had border wars with the Soviet and Vietnam, and yet it has settled border issues with them. But India is a superpower, hence China must abide by India's wishes. After the dam is built, perhaps India will want to talk, resentment notwithstanding.

India has great delusions that it is rightful heir to the mighty British empire, at least in this part of the world. Even us Indians receive the similar treatment from our suppapawa state.
All these issues stem from an economy grappling with uncertainties, including housing problems,foreclosures, global fluctuations, and the aftermath of the pandemic, leading to instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions demand urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.
In retirement, safeguarding your wealth against inflation is essential. Consider options like TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities), commodities, or foreign currencies to hedge against a weakening dollar.

With it's engineering prowess and ability to finance such a transformative project, China will transform its power generation, potentially export some of it and reach a milestone in terms of reading its renewable energy aims.
This new hydro plant it's not one big battery as it does not store electrical energy like a battery. Water rushes through and would not be in China's interest to stop the flow otherwise it will cause flooding on its side. Therefore I do not see China wanting to stop slows down to India it is not in their own interests and their own thinking. Remember the mant mutual respect and peaceful coexistence

Actually, it is a tunnel instead of a dam
Not only is India inciting Tibetan separatism. India is also surreptitiously building up a separatist Tibetan army against China. China has every reason to deal with India as an enemy. Yet with a pretentious aggrieved look, we self-righteously ask why China should be so hostile against India!
What if China allowed Khalistani activists to set up base inside China with the aim of training them for robust military operations against India?
@@lordshiva1958 there's no what if, they already do.
Just look at how they're handling the Manipur situation in their north east region.
If the water isn't being used for, say, agriculture or household consumption I don't understand what the problem is. With such high waterfalls I don't think fish migrate upstream either. If the water just powers turbines and then goes back in the river what's wrong with that apart from having to fill the dam up in the first place? I suppose China could stop India's water for a limited period until the dam's capacity is exhausted but what then? They can't hold a river up forever can they? I hasten to add that I know nothing whatever about the subject, I'm just applying my form of logic to the situation.
I understood this not to be an actual dam. I thought this was a diversion of part of the river into a very large tunnel that runs at quite a drop in elevation with turbines built at the end of the drop dumping the water back into the river at the bottom of the tunnel. A never ending flow of water without a threat downstream. I saw a documentary on this months ago. This does not fit what I've seen on this project. Looks like you missed it on this one. I'm reading many others saw it the same as I did.
Regarding power movement, China doesn't have to use the Tsangpo Dam to power the vast populations in the Central Plains. Rather, there's over 120 million people living in Sichuan (inc. Chongqing), which is right next to Tibet, and this dam can supply the Sichuan basin. China's other energy infrastructure can thus be freed up to go towards the other major urban centers.
Check the geography, there are at least two big tributaries into this river on the indian side of the border.
Generally a dam can have positive effect in regulating the water flow, like the 3gorges dam has made the annual catastropic floods in the lower Yangtze a thing of the past.
The angst is the smoldering mistrusts, like that between europe and russia
Mistrust? Yeh that was decades ago,, bruh? Today's geopolitics between them is amicable and lightening? Don't dwell on negativity only? Be real, and studying the good, bad and any ugly ness?
India too dirty
No Water is going to be taken away. The water is diverted and under gravity, it pushes the turbine that generate electricity. That is all there is. If you are concern about Dams, check out how many Dams India built on that river down stream - yet NO ONE has ever claimed India will make the water disappear or deprive Bangladesh of the water (Bangladesh is further downstream). By the way, India is the ONLY country in the past to have prevented river water reaching Pakistan.
In history, whoever occupied the upstream of a river controlled the whole river. India is probably not as lucky as China who owns the upstream of the said river. It also becomes a problem when the country which owns the upstream has the capability to build such a huge dam. India must be regretting that its neighbor is not the United States or EU which is unable to build huge dams.
This large dam projects will provide power for many Tibetan Himalayan cities and villages !

There is no " impossible " in the Chinese dictionary.
Pretty sure once the dams full they’ll release the water to generate electricity and the water flow will be the same once the dam is full. Like filling a giant bath once it’s full the water will flow just as it would before. Basic physics, unless the water is diverted? It has to go somewhere it’s not just gonna evaporate at that altitude it’s cold.. idk 🤷🏼♂️
India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh cannot just sit idly by; this is a mammoth and serious matter. Two billion people's livelihoods depend on this water source. The proper way to address this is for all sides to sit down and discuss the issue. China does indeed have the upper hand, as it controls the source of the water within its boundaries.
What's more concerning than earthquakes in the region it that the region is prone to huge landslides which could swamp the dam as happened at Italy's Vajont Dam
The Grand Inga Dam would be the only other hydropower facility that could match the great bend in the Himalayas . Situated at Inga Falls on the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of Congo it could have a capacity of 40-70 GW. These two locations have the greatest potential on earth.

I don't think this will affect India .
If China stops the flow, they will also stop producing electricity .
And they won't be able to stop the flow for a long period , that thing would burst if it overflows.
Hydro power reduces water flow for a period of five years or so. Then annual flows recover total volumes if not seasonally. Only if they water harvest and send water to other river catchments such as the Mekong will water be lost to India after the initial damning. Sounds like that after the initial dam, they will create more dams upstream.
India has had always harbored expansionist ambitions to expand into Tibet. Unfortunately, a powerful China stands in our way. From our eyes only, we now think the Dalai Lama has turned rogue because we had thought we could use him perpetually as a trump card to challenge China. But now that he openly declares Tibet is part of China, we cannot use him anymore. What is worse, now all these Tibetan lands we control in Arunachal Pradesh, Ladakh, Sikkim etc. immediately become a big question mark, overdue for their logical return to China!
Absolutely correct !
Actually that's just the Dalai Lama that China/the CCP has approved. The exiled Tibetans in Nepal and China chose their own successor which China does not recognize.
Here's what a lot of people in the west get wrong. Chin is not interested in "rivalry". It is interested in trade and in development.
Easy Solution.
India stopped acting like their Anglo Saxon Masters, ie the US & EU and act with due respect to China.
Work together with China to prosper and don't be a triple headed snake in the process.
The need for green energy benefits everyone. I'm 10,000 miles away and I benefit from anyone going green.
Amazing
Thanks
I learnt today that the Chinese name for the river the Indians call the Brahmaputra is "Yarlung Zangbo". So the Chinese are NOT building a dam on the Brahmaputra at all. They are building a dam on the Yarlung Zangbo.
In the spirit of freedom and democracy, India should remove repressive anti-secession laws so that people across the subcontinent can discuss like mature adults and allow different ethnicities and states to reclaim their independence and nationhood.
Hi bro, I’ve been enjoying & learning so much from you daily with all the videos you posted about EV & RE! I even bought a Zeekr X for my wife because of you..
Bravo 👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼
BUT bro, pls stay out from all these geo-politics topics from your channel bro 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
In England, water companies can dump human waste into the rivers. Fortunately, water companies in China do not. Imagine the stench in the Mekong River, Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers from raw human waste.
100% success for china but not sure for downstream countrys but hey they build in there own land
Agree
India has been doing similar dams albeit smaller ones which affect Pakistan and Bangladesh.What is for sure is that it is excellent news for the US!
This 60,000 MW project means up to 525 TWh per year (depending upon utilisation factor) . It's enough to recharge 130 millions of EV running 20,000 km/y (with 20 kWh/100 km) !!!
china has around 500mil homes.... the dam can power 60% of them
Whatever China does things within its territories, it is none of the business of any other countries to comment, meddle or care.
This great principle of of mutual respect & co-existence is so simple! 😊
Great project. Love it
You seem to misunderstand this project - it is mostly a run off river flow project this minimal water reservoir and diversion
This is not Bollywood entertainment where fantasies and untruths can crowd out the reality on the ground. Hence a public Board of Inquiry must be openly held in India. If China had been wrong, they must be held to account. Similarly, if India was the villain, we Indians must be classy enough to admit it and officially apologize to China.
can you imagine, before the last ice age , prehistoric humans, were also advance and also built Dams to hold water back. Till Ice age happen and all those water were frozen and the rest is history.
🇨🇳👍👏 Clean Energy 👏👍🇨🇳
Well done China for the right thing.
India exists today only because of British India. It is not a natural nation. Natural nations can revert to names that attest to their own authentic origins. So Sri Lanka supplants Ceylon, Myanmar is the proud name in place of Burma. Even Bangladesh flag flies gloriously over what was East Pakistan. But India? Without father England who ran away exhausted by WW2, there's no India an illegitimate empire put together by England with lands stolen from various peoples. There is simply no legitimate name to fall back on. And we avariciously cling to borders and territories stolen by England as our own.
India and Palki Sharma are JEALOUS.....😂😂😂
Palki is sick and needs medical help.
about india,
Even with a facade of the largest democratic country, it is not a democracy but a theocracy. Its entire populace are dependent on Hinduism for identity, which teaches caste. Note that anyone not in the religion is automatically in the lowest caste. This is more primitive than any other theocratic nations, because it encourages those in the religion to believe they are the 'chosen people' compared to others
If a population of a few millions of 'chosen people' can wreck havoc in West Asia for eternity, imagine what 1.4 billion could do to Asia. This is one of the reason why these 2 nations shows affinity. 'The region can be on-fire as long as I am on top' teaching is a problem, because its effect is not limited to a dirty street with defecation.
It is still unclear if pride of its people came from the notion of 'chosen people' or because it once poisoned Asia with opium, or both; or that it never once feels awkward about doing so or about doing it again

Well said.
Detente, pronounced," day-taunt". Very detailed and
On point video. Thank you.
Surely this would provide power to more than 20% of China’s population? If each household averages 3, then 300m households would provide electricity to circa 900m people, which would be closer to 75%?
I do wish people stick to the proper units. A "home" of electricity isn't a proper unit and even worse there is absolutely no definition of what it means.
India has this dam anxiety because for decades it relish bragging about firing missiles at China's 3-Gorges dam in case of a future conflict. Karma bring this fear right back to India ... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You need to brush up on basic math. Here in Florida the average household uses 15,000 kilowatt hours per year. That means that 300 billion KWH would supply 20 million households, not 300 million.
Ultra high voltage transmission lines. Hope India and China work it out.
Dam, baby dam; China just learning from Trump!
This is already old news for mega projects. Open AI announced a 500 billion dollar mega project for interconnected AI focused datacenters called Stargate Project. It will be interested to see where they are going to get the electricity to power such a massive project.
The Chinese proposed the concept of space solar farms to my understanding. It would be interesting if that comes to fruition.
@@timothychung4811 Can't see how space solar makes sense when you factor in the cost to put a panel in space, maintenance, and energy losses for transmission to earth. Would require launch costs to come down considerably from where they are now.
When it comes to the US spending $500 billion on electricity infrastructure to power its so called Stargate program, one word comes to mind,.. Fugazi.
DeepSeek V3 is using far more less hardware power, but outperform OpenAI,Gemini..,Meta & its Open Source . OpenAI and others are waisting money. I call it FreeAI . DeepSeek have silence them one By one. Now India have the opportunity not to pay for AI because they can use it for free and they love free things in India.
@@johankasandarwi5093 I'd agree Deepseek R1 is very impressive for open source but AI development isn't ending with it. They aren't spending 500 billion for just an educational chatbot or coding aid. This is also for the processing power to solve big questions in biology, physics, engineering and other scientific endeavours including how to build more advanced AI. You can't run inference on questions like this on a Vic20.
India is doing kid's stuff like banning computers & ipads, but China bans crucial manufacturing equipment and skilled manpower to Foxxcon and Apple India is now stalled and toasted, the factory can't operate, 😭
this is why only the brave in the Auto industry go to India to build factories.
What crucial manufacturing equipment does china make
In other words, India is awestruck by China new dam.
Nice info
Viking, we love what you do. Having said that, you ought to do some serious research before doing a video for a subject as politically delicate as this.
Clearly, some of your followers are quite knowledgeable on this subject. Several provided insightful explanations and corrections to your content.
Chinese are principled people. They will bend over backward to get along with their neighbors. Just fyi, China has peacefully resolved all its territorial disputes with all its neighbors, of which there are many, over the years. The only exceptions are India and Japan.
With India, there are 2 disputed areas, of roughly the same size. The dispute is essentially a legacy of the British empire, which arbitrarily drew up borders in that part of the territory, simply because it could. These arbitrary borders were not recognized by China. Back in the 50s or 60s, China proposed the simple concept of going 50-50, India gets one of the disputed areas and China the other. Get it over and done with. That was rejected by India.
I will say this: there is nothing but hysterics in the Indian media when it comes to anything China. Everything from China is examined under a microscope with suspicion and mistrust. For the most part, China just carries on with its business ignoring all the noise and nonsense. China will simply wait until India is ready to work together productively. There is not much else it can do.
Tibet had been a part of China's indigenous evolution as a nation for more than a thousand years - long before the Mughals ruled much of the subcontinent, and long before Father England gave birth to India. I may not wish to speak for others like the Kashmir people or the Sikhs or the Mongoloids in the north. But Tamil Nadu certainly deserves our own nationhood. We had been a sovereign nation for thousands of years with our own dravidian language and history before British colonial rulers came to upend the natural order. When we eventually achieve independence, we will within 10 years rank within the league of successful East Asian nations like Korea, Japan or China.
My understanding is they are drilling a shortcut shaft in the round about mountain, so less of a dam, and more about of using the big natural drop this river does there.
"Run of the River" project. Can't be used to flood India. India's just projecting what it has already done to Bangladesh.
Aggressive nations always project their own psychopathy onto the other. Look at the West.
China should direct the water to fight desertification and supercharge the Great Green Wall. 80% of the rivers water will still be there.
Every drop of the water dammed will eventually flow down to the sea anyway, nothing to worry about
Based on available facts, it does seem to me actions that started from our side led to the tragedy. I hope I am wrong. This is why it's important to have a formal Board of Inquiry to ascertain the facts and evidence. We must collectively push the government to conduct an open Board of Inquiry.
It would help to speed up your talking I'm watching it at 2x which is slightly too fast...maybe 1..8x
You failed to mention that India has also damnd rivers running into Pakistan.
This has led to drought conditions as well as flooding in Pakistan so basically India is getting a taste of its own medicine it's done this to other countries and now it's being done to India
